Award, Shows, Friday, April 24, 2009 
Last Thursday was the wrap for the Redhead Alliance photo series. We finished up all of the remaining images and also conducted video interviews. I am now in the intense editing stage of both finalizing which images will hang in the MFA thesis exhibition, in addition to editing a documentary video for the entire process. All content (photography, prose, video, etc) will also be available on redheadalliance.com and is what I consider the "full version" of the work.
This past Tuesday at the School of Art student show, I was honored with the award for Best Graduate Work, for the image "Beta 25" (the paper bag heads). David Taylor juried this year's student show exhibition.
In addition to the upcoming thesis exhibition, I will also be in a few juried/group exhibitions around the country. In Oakland, CA, I have three images in the Red Door Gallery's upcoming "Death is Easy, Comedy is Hard" exhibition. The images are Beta 1, 4, and 28.
I am also in a unique poetry/photography exhibition entitled "Vision/Verse." It will be at the Imperial Calcasieu Museum in Lake Charles, LA. Beta 28 and a new image title "Proportions of Man" will be exhibited. The latter image is based off the poem of the same name by William Coppage. In a neat twist, he is also the poet creating a work based off my image. I'm looking forward to it!
Okay, it's only 12:30 AM. Time to get back to work.

I am still figuring out how the website works, but add me if you like. Who knows...
Some Changes, Thursday, April 2, 2009
I've built a temporary redesign of the website and changed a few aspects of the navigation. The blog is gone, instead replaced by this front page which seemed to serve as a news update location anyway. Some of the formatting is still wonky. Working on that. If you find any bugs, please contact me!

Earlier today, an army of Louisiana Tech photography faculty, undergrads, and myself arrived in Dallas, TX. It's time for the 2009 National SPE! I have already seen many familiar faces and am enjoying catching up with how everyone is doing. When not in presentations, I plan to be involved in the informal portfolio showings so I'm sure I will run into plenty others.
This year, SPE will be particularly interesting. I receive two awards this upcoming Friday. I'm the recipient of an SPE South Central Travel Scholarship, in addition to being a 2009 SPE Student Award winner. Friday will be a pleasant day.

You can now access this website via additional addresses. I went ahead and snagged www.andybloxham.net, www.andybloxham.org, and www.andybloxham.info. They all work exactly like the normal .com you may have used to arrive here.
In addition, I now also have the beginning stages of www.RedheadAlliance.com. Stay tuned...

Just a note that in addition to currently having half a photography solo show on display there, I'll be performing in some sketch comedy in a little under two weeks at Art Innovations in Ruston, Louisiana. I'm pretty excited about this. There are two different skits. The performances run both Wednesday, January 14, and Thursday, January 15. Shows begin at 7 PM.

I received a nice letter informing me that I'm the recipient of a 2009 Society for Photographic Education (SPE) Student Award. The award includes a travel stipend to attend their conference, in addition to membership and conference waivers for 2009. I receive the award in March at the national conference in Dallas, Texas. SPE was founded in 1963 and is based in Cleveland, Ohio.

I currently have work showing at Philadelphia's University of the Arts' Gallery 1401, juried by Julie Saul. Nearly half of my solo exhibit is also showing at Art Innovations, in Ruston, Louisiana. In January, I will be part of the North American Graduate Art Survey at University of Minnesota, which Christopher Atkins juried. A few states over that month, I also have a piece in the 6th Photographic Image Biennial Exhibition, which is in the Wellington B. Gray Gallery at East Carolina University, and was juried by Robert ParkeHarrison.
In February, the "blow up doll photo" will be showing in the Guilty Pleasures exhibition at Projects Gallery, in Philadelphia. It was juried by gallery owner Helen Meyrick.
Work is published in the current issue of Creative Quarterly, issue 12, in addition to Light Leaks, issue 11. Work will also be featured in the next issue of Creative Quarterly, issue 13, due at the end of the year.
During February, my solo exhibition will travel to the 1078 Gallery in Chico, CA.
I am still casting for misc roles in my new body of work, "Redhead Alliance." Specifically, I am seeking a blonde female with tan skin for a central role. Redheads are still encouraged to partake in the shoots, as well, in bit roles. The majority of shoots take place in the Harris Building, in downtown Ruston, LA. Contact me if interested.
Also, if you're looking for something random, check out www.sutki.net. It is a Russian website that has a spotlight focus on some of my work. Unless you speak Russian, you will need to translate the text. It's certainly interesting to find your work being discussed in a language that doesn't even use the same alphabet.
