The fourth annual "Bring Your Mom To The Daum", established on Mother's Day, invited Dustin R. Mothersbaugh to provide the caricatures this year. "Roughly twenty five caricatures were completed in two hours" Mothersbaugh said. "That's very exciting and I was more than happy to be of service to one of the gems of home in the mid-west".

The State Fair Community College President's purchase award went to Stacy Embry for her piece, "Eldon". The four recipients of top honors for the exhibition included: a friend, a fantastic ceramicist, Steve Gorman, for his piece, "Whopper"; Lauren Seider for her painting, "Self by Lauren Seider", a KCAI student; Matt Rahner for his photographic piece, "The Hadley Brothers", an MU graduate student.
Mothersbaugh recieved a top honor for his painting, "The Holdup". It was very unexpected and a true honor to be up there with so many other talented artists.
Beyond the Nuclear: BFA Show Reception
Beyond the Nuclear is the most recent full body of work Mothersbaugh has completed after a decade of academic studies and experiments in the studio art discipline of painting which began at State Fair Community College in Sedalia, Missouri, and continued after transferring to the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg. Dustin invited a small group of family and friends on November 23rd, 2013 and gave a talk on the series, discussing his formal aesthetics as well as the differential missions of his most recent outpourings in this body of work that can be described as a fusion of the very "personal" and an appealing broadness for political magnitude. Mothersbaugh's show, Beyond the Nuclear: Works About the Family Construct [2007-2013], was installed in Gallery 115 in the UCM Gallery of Art & Design alongside 14 other artists graduating in December, 2013.
MO Top 50 Exhibition, MO State Fair 2014
Dustin's mother Ginny accepted the award on his behalf when he placed in the Top 50 Exhibition at the Missouri State Fair this year. "Carving the Turkey" was well received by not only the generous juror Adam Price, but was part of major discussion from others about the lack of time spent with family during post-modern era American holidays.
