Another Year Gone

We signed on our studio space a year ago Feb. 22, and with alot of hard work we actually opened the doors on May 8th, so that being, this May 8th we'll be having an anniversary celebration. We've had a few tense weeks, with the economy dive, but it's all running smoothly now. In fact I have two apprentise's now and we'll grow as planned at a steady place. Our goal was to have a place that's creative, and inviting for people to come to and with the feedback that we're getting, looks like that's what we are. I'm excited for our second year and love being at the studio everyday!

"Dead of Winter"

    Friday night was our gallery horror art show opening titled "The Dead of Winter". It was anything but dead. Our lively Rock-A-Billy band kept us moving and smiling. With anything from Elvis to Johnny Cash in their own crazy style.
    We had lots of yummy food that we made, and our apprentise "Paula" made a wonderful chocolate/peanut butter /rice crispy dessert that couldn't be beat! Maybe she'll let me post it?
    Some of the artists actually created work for the show. Jill Bauman created a couple of her dimensional pieces, a vampire snowman and snowy owl. We also have some of her awesome prints. Eric Hilliker finished his "Gurm" painting that is part of a series of adventure poetry that he creates. I finished my "Ladies from Hell" a painting that I had in mind for years about the scottish black watch. The painting shows a piper from hell calling on the black watch of various time periods where they march as a ghostly horde to war.
    The rest of our show shouldn't be missed. Seeing the original paintings are soooo much better than an online image! And the paintings by these people are seen usually only at SF/Fantasy/Horror conventions.
