On Thursday, October 27, 2011, Parrish Art Museum hosted its first "Lightning Round" powered by PechaKucha event, a rapid-fire show-and-tell event featuring 10 members of the creative community. In this short presentation, Jameson Ellis talks about growing up near an army base, and the influence military design, war, television, and music had on his work, which ranges from abstract painting to functional design and the creation of an improved M-16.
