l am pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition of The Lebowski Cycle at College of the Canyons Art Gallery in Santa Clarita, CA, from Oct 28 – Dec 10, 2014.
There will be an opening reception and artist talk Tuesday, October 28th from 2-5 pm, as well as a closing reception from 3-7 pm on Dec 6th.
The exhibition will include all 14 of the original large scale paintings from the Lebowski Cycle, plus a recently completed 15th painting from 2014, The Incredulity of Saint Thomas, seen here.
Hours and directions to the gallery can be found here. I’ll be posting additional information about the show and more about this painting soon.

Hi, Joe!
Twenty-five years later, your work pops up in my world again. I’d completely forgotten the Comedy Corner “feud” (was it really a feud? My memories are hazy.) of the late 1980s, but when your name was attached to a post about the Lebowski Cycle on http://thisisnthappiness.com, I thought “Forkan…Joe Forkan? Could this be the same guy?”
I like your work. Glad to see you’re still at it, all these years later.

Hi Bret,
Well, that’s a blast from the past. Hadn’t thought of all that in a long time. Kind of funny to think about now.
Mutual heckling at that stand up gig, I think. Never stopped making work, although you can see it’s changed over the years.
Did you continue doing standup? Still in AZ?
