today was my first official day back at art prostitute since last summer. however, this time the internship actually counts for academic credit, so that makes things a bit different. the new location in dallas is stellar, it's divided into a a gallery at the front and a work area at the back. the front is still being prepared for dave kinsey's show which opens on saturday, and the back is awash with hubbub concerning the new issue that is going into production next week as well as the advent of the public trust, the graphic design company that is officially being started by the guys at art pros.
i started out the day as a proper intern, by dividing a huge pile of trash into usuable packing materials and actual...trash.
however, the latter part of the afternoon was an experience not shared by many. dave kinsey flew into town today to prepare for the show, and it was my duty as the intern to be his personal driver as he had to scour dallas for art supplies and find his hotel room in the midst of seemingly a thousand dallas hotels.
luckily we didn't get lost.
it's a rare event for an intern to get to drive one of his favorite artists ever around town looking for india ink.
i am still in a bit of a daze. he asked me to pick him up some supplies on the way into dallas tomorrow.
we'll see what happens on day two.
