Just to whet your Mitch appetite, here's a 'lil advance notice for my next show of shows! I'll be posting samples of the glorious visions of modern art asap!


Mitch O'Connell, recipient of "Most Handsome Chicago-land Artist Award 6 years running, (1991-1996 until he graciously recused himself from nomination) is back with the most thought provoking show of the millennium, (the thought being, "How in the hell did he get a show?")!

"God Has Forgiven Me (so what's your problem?)"

Opening night Friday May 15th
Packer Schopf Gallery
942 W. Lake St.
Chicago, Il. 60607

Free wine will be served.

Gaze at the colorful brushstrokes of Mitch working through personal painful issues... for your viewing pleasure!

Mitch will be in attendance to accept your praise.
He'll be the one in the beret reclining on the portable hospital bed attached to an IV. Going without sleep for the preceding month knocking out these masterpieces has taken it's toll on this American hero. Being now unable to speak, just follow this simple code to communicate-

One blink means, "Thank-you".
Two blinks mean, "Please bring me some more of that delicious free wine".
Three blinks mean, "M'Lady, your exquisite beauty has left me speechless! Perchance would you grant me the honor of your number? I be sex yo up fo' shizzle!"

Art critics, your pocket therauses will be on fire as you frantically search for new words of praise and astonishment! By the way, Mr. Packer would love for you to have this crisp new $20 bill as a handy bookmark (wink)!

Did we mention the wine is free?
