	JSH withdraws phase three of his Project Egg to help save the oceans! Jeffrey Scott Holland has made the decision to pull the plug on his international art installation, Project Egg, citing the environmental dangers in plastics as his reason. In previous years, the popular installation hid thousands of art-filled green plastic Easter eggs around the nation. Read the announcement here and visit our special plastic-awareness page here.
	Weird Kentucky book completed! More than a year in the making, Jeffrey Scott Holland's newest book *Weird Kentucky* is finally put to bed and will be released by Sterling Publishing in the Spring! The book lovingly describes Holland's fascination with the remarkable people, places and legends around his beloved home state. The project has been picked up by Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman's "Weird U.S." series of books and television programs, and is guaranteed to be one of their most successful yet!

	JSH in Stan Woodward's new documentary Holland appears in the new Stan Woodward documentary entitled *Burgoo, performing live onstage with internationally acclaimed singer Sarah Elizabeth. Watch for the documentary to air on PBS* in coming months! Holland and Sarah Elizabeth have previously teamed up on her compact disc *When The Redbuds Bloom, and in 2005 he painted a portrait of Sarah and her former husband, poet Ron Whitehead, which hung in the Retrocognition* exhibition that same year.
	The JSH Combo on USB Flash Drive! Jeffrey Scott Holland's jazz band, The JSH Combo, is slated to release their debut album *Water Towers Look Like Martians* this Fall on the Superfrothco label. The album will be released solely in the USB Flash Drive format, and will include covers of Duke Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", W.C.Handy's "Loveless Love", Slim Gaillard's "Atomic Cocktail", Mose Allison's "Seventh Son", and a jazz version of The Who's "I Can See For Miles". And of course, look for the cover artwork to be designed by Holland and for album-release events to be held in the Washington, D.C. area and in New York.
	All History Does Unfold at Starbucks This Summer, Holland wrapped up his latest solo exhibition, *All History Does Unfold, at the Starbucks Coffee* at Blankenbaker Plaza in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky! Plans are in the works to bring some of these same works to the Washington, D.C. area later this year. (Trivia: the exhibition's name is a reference to the song "The Mercy Seat" by Nick Cave, also covered by Johnny Cash.) Press release
May 28, 2007 The Commonwealth of Kentucky brought Jeffrey Scott Holland to Greenbo Lake State Resort Park, with a solo exhibition of new and old work entitled *Icons of the Wilderness. The state now owns two JSH paintings: Portrait of Jesse Stuart* and At The Amphitheatre, the latter commissioned by the state to commemorate their new amphitheatre. JSH also performed his *Dark Observatory* performance art/lecture, and Governor Ernie Fletcher (R-KY) was on hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony. April 7, 2007 The KISS Coffeehouse in Myrtle Beach, SC hosted Jeffrey Scott Holland's *Fuel To Build A Fire* solo show of original paintings and prints, two of which remain on permanent display. Prints from selected items among the exhibit's works can be obtained in the Washington, D.C. area through our offices. April 1, 2007 Jeffrey Scott Holland followed up last year's seven-state *Project Egg* "scavenger hunt as installation" piece with 2007's *Project Egg Phase Two, in which a smattering of green plastic art-filled easter eggs were hidden all across America. Phase Three, scheduled for April 2008, will expand the egg hunt to a global level. Although egg discoveries have been fewer this year because of the scattered-nationwide distribution, eggs are still somewhere out there in Washington, D.C., Virginia, Maryland, Delaware*, etc.
