hello good people,

i just wanted to check in and let you guys know that coraline is now out on dvd, so in case you missed it in the theaters you can check it out on the small screen.  here are some pictures of some of the characters i sculpted for the movie. you can see more if you go to top-loader in the bar at the top of the page and go to the puppets/character gallery there you can also check out some of the other characters and puppets i’ve worked on over the years.

on to the gallery, this is the last weekend for you to come and see “revolution”  it’s been a very successful show and i want to thank every body who’s been a part of it. our next show is “look at me” a self portrait show. the deadline for submissions for consideration to be in it is this sunday the 2nd. please let me know if your interested in being a part of it. . the”look at me ” opening reception is going to be friday the 7th of august.   

thanks every one!

this friday the third we are celebrating our independence with “REVOLUTION” at the good gallery. our reception will be from 7 until 11 ending with a awesome fireworks display, because really who doesn’t like things blowing up! 

but wait there’s more ! we are no longer the only first friday art reception in the neighborhood. over at the red”e” on killingsworth and michigan, nikki cress is showing some figurative  paintings. and up albina from us at the red fox , brian kappel will be showing some new work. so come up north see some art ,celebrate the revolution and go oooooh.aaaaahh at our flying sparky things.

hope to see you friday!

p.s.

we just installed a new awning and flag pole to go along with the awesome bench that we unveiled last month .

i once saw a cartoon that distilled all art down into the idea that art used to be “look at this!” and with modern art all art became “look at me!”

there’s definitely something compelling about the self-portrait. artistic navel-gazing. a ready and willing model. the chance to cast yourself in the grand tapestry of history. and to have lots and lots of people look at you as a work of art.

to submit your ideas/work for consideration, please send a letter of intent to our inbox. Then get cracking on turning yourself into a work of art.

Materials deadline July 31; Opens August 7
