- A community art exhibition. One of my new pieces is hanging here, I have not posted it anywhere else. Omar will be at the Art Reception on September 20th. This coincides with the Martha Gardens Arts Festival '08. The Arts Festival will be an interactive event that is fun for both the kids and the adults! The free festival includes art-cars and low-riders, a kids art-car parade, live art performances, music and dance, crafts for kids, food and hands on painting. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out. I won't be here because I will be at Curtis Fest in Sacramento that day. But I will be the docent on October 11th at the Art Ark. If you can't make the Martha Gardens Arts Festival '08, swing by on the 11th to check the art show out.

- Location: 1035 S. 6th Street, San Jose, CA 95112 The Modern Superstitionist
- What unseen forces are we trying to protect ourselves from? Artwork that reveals the real things we possess and do to keep those mysterious unseen forces from creating chaos in our modern world. Search deep and you will find no 13th floor in most buildings. If you happened to sneeze, why would a complete stranger offer to bless you? Is there an unspoken, unseen power we keep at bay with our superstitionist behaviour? Do you follow it with a rabbits foot, or rebel against it and break a mirror? Superstition, Real or Not? You Decide!
