This is a big weekend for Sight Key Studios, Toxic Goddess and myself. To illustrate how big, the June 3rd issue of the Oklahoma Gazette mentions me in two different articles!
One article is for the Individual Artists of Oklahoma Biting the Apple exhibition that opens this weekend with two nights of erotic art and performances. Toxic Goddess Burlesque will be doing performances on both Friday and Saturday evening. Toxic Goddess Dame Lebeau is the subject of my photo titled “Inked”, which was accepted into the show and will be on display. I was interviewed for the article in the Gazette.
The second article is about Soonercon which also runs this weekend. Toxic Goddess, Robert Henry and I will be making our fourth appearance at the Sinnercon adult party on Saturday night, signing autographs and talking with fans. Robert Henry and Toxic Goddess Aello will be setting up a table and meeting fans during Soonercon as well. Finally on Saturday at 3pm, I will be doing a one hour workshop on Self-Promotion on a budget. My workshop is geared to help other artists, writers, bands and promoters reach the widest possible audience for the least amount of money. Jerry Hall the Soonercon Chairman mentioned my workshop in the Gazette article.
The Gazette has always been fair to me, and I’d like to publically thank them for helping me get out the word about two big events this weekend! More resources about this week’s events are below.
Dream hard,
- Dirk Hooper

I can't tell you ALL the surprises... it is Halloween, after all!”
