For the artistic photographer, scoring a solo show while your heart still beats with gusto is an achievement of monumental proportions. And so it is that we are pleased as booze-infused punch to inform y'all that Miltown's own William "Bill" Zuback will open his Book Passages Exhibit this Friday, February 12, at the 10th Street Gallery. Fan-frickin'-tastic!
It was exactly one year ago today that Bill began posting his visual interpretations of the written word on his blog and the series has produced 20 striking and evocative images. Almost all excerpts were suggested by those who frequent his blog, though he reserved the right to pick his own, as he did with the last.
He also very kindly asked me to provide him with a short passage from my novel with the super secret title due out, oh I dunno, let's say some time in the next decade or so. Called Blinded by the Light, I was thrilled with the result! No kidding, I really was.
Okay, so the opening of the Book Passages Exhibit on Friday will commence promptly at 6PM and run to 8PM at the 10th Street Gallery. Those who can't make it that night have until April 9 to get their keisters over there to view the series. 10% of all art sales will go to support the Adult Literacy Program at Journey House.
On another exciting note, an interview with Bill will air tomorrow on WUWM Milwaukee Public Radio's Lake Effect from 10-11AM, with a rebroadcast at 11PM. The show will also be archived at its website later.
Good show, Bill! May this exhibit mark the beginning a fabulously artsy time for you.

Thanks again Mary. I hope your "Blinded by the Light" print has found a nice cozy spot on one of your walls. Your support has been priceless. Looking forward to seeing you and Kevin on Friday.
