I created a projection mapped animation for the first Napa Lighted Festival this year in Napa, Ca.
We used four projectors to light the nearly 300 foot long top floor of the Copia building. Despite the devastating wild fires that hit the area weeks before, the show went on.
My animation “New Harmony” is included in the annual projection event in Alys Beach, Fla “Digital Graffiti”.
I helped Andrew Wade Smith and Brent with animations and programming for this year’s projection mapping installation at the Portland Winter Light Festival going on for the next three days
Under Pressure will be projected on the buildings of Alys Beach during Digital Graffiti, June 4-6. Digital Graffiti is one of the few shows of projected artwork in the US.
I have a show of 5 of my animated paintings opening at the McNay Museum in San Antonio, Tx on May 21 and continuing until September 1st, 2013.
From the show description
This two-part video program features animations by New Orleans-based David Sullivan that mix elements of abstract and painterly animation. Works in part 1 are connected by subtle recurring motifs, such as the heartbeat in Sunset Refinery and Swamp Gas, and the mixed sounds of factory and underwater environments in Bubble Pop and Fugitive Emissions. Under Pressure, which comprises the second part, is a more recent work in which Sullivan has eliminated any representational imagery. The infinite number of connections between the human, natural, industrial, and invented elements present in David Sullivan’s videos leads the viewer to contemplate issues such as ecological quality and the impact of human life on the earth, or to simply meditate on the visual experience of color, light, and movement.
I have 3 print pieces and 4 animations up at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts Gallery until March 15th, along with work by 3 other visiting artists. It is a nice show, with some strong work, down by the river in the bywater area of New Orleans.

Courtney Egan and I are showing our work in the Slidell Little Theatre lobby throughout the festival. I will be showing my series of animations inspired by the chemical corridor of the mississippi river. If you are near Slidell this weekend (Nov 2-4, 2012), stop in and catch some of the films.
