The printmaking badass of the world, Dennis McNett, is the visiting artist at the University of Oklahoma for the next few days. With the help of some students and faculty, Dennis will be (in his own words) “building a dragon, parading it around the oval on your campus, destroying it with homemade battle axes and swords, and then possibly burning it when we are finished.” And he’ll probably get kicked out of Norman in the process. Not sure how this got past the administration, but I can’t wait for it to happen.

Check out some of Dennis’ work in the Lightwell Gallery this week, and come out for the parade on Friday. Here are some photos of his work as well as a video of a similar parade in New York a few years back.
