Coaster Art Lives On

December 10th, 2009 admin

It’s funny the 3 coasters I painted about 3 years ago and they were originally intended to hang as christmas tree ornaments. I removed the hooks and shipped them off to Spain to be a part of this ongoing exhibition. Poke around you’ll see some quality work from artists all over globe, very creative. This was a great project, and there are a lot more coasters in this project than what’s listed on the site. Actually I’m curious to know how many have been collected over the years.

James MARR is a great guy to work with, respectful and friendly. I encourage any artist w/ the least bit of interest in participating in a quality international collaborative albeit low brow exhibition to run to your nearest bar and start collecting coasters while downing a pint or two.

When the project began I recall seeing photographs online of all these coasters plastered on the walls throughout a Pub and I wish I could locate it but some reason they’ve pulled it off line.

Hello,

BRINGING YOU ART UPDATES!!!!!!!!!!

FRIDAY NIGHT: NOV 20TH 7-11PM IAO (OKC)

I am contributing this peice to IAO’S RED DOT AUCTION THIS FRIDAY, all the details are below.

THE BELOW IN QUOTES IS PULLED FROM IAO’S WEBSITE.

“The name Red Dot denotes the all-important red mark that a gallery places on any work of art as soon as it is sold.  Red Dot is also the name of Individual Artists of Oklahoma’s (IAO) annual art auction scheduled for Friday, November 20 from 7-11 p.m.  The auction will feature art work by more than 50 Oklahoma artists.

Also new this year the art will be showcased in IAO’s new gallery on historic Film Row. Guests at Red Dot will enjoy an entertaining evening of fine food, libations, socializing with friends and bidding on an eclectic selection of art that will appeal to a wide variety of tastes and budgets.  Artwork up for auction will include sculpture, painting, mixed media photography, mosaic and fiber arts.

In addition to the familiar silent auction, another option for the collector who can’t risk losing a piece of art in the auction is “buy it now”. This alternative lets the buyer trump the auction and buy the artwork immediately.

Funds raised via Red Dot directly support IAO exhibitions throughout the year.  Cost of admission to Red Dot is $20 in advance or $25 at the door.  Purchase advance tickets at Blue 7 (7518 N May Ave), Full Circle Bookstore (1900 NW Expressway), online at www.iaogallery.org or by phone (405) 232-6060.”

September Fest

September 15th, 2009 admin

septFest01

septFest02septFest03

I was part of an interactive painting activity on the 12th called September Fest held every year in OKC at the Governor’s mansion. The kids came in waves, one minute I was alone then a wave of eager painters rolled up. I think it was educational for all involved myself included and it was definitely creative.

It’s always neat to see children run off inspired. I also found it an extremely interesting time to watch parents, parent in all the different ways one can do so. From really helping their child to relax pick up a brush and just express themselves to the parents who obliviously shut their kids down by barking too many limiting rules or ideas at them. This observation of watching a few children shut down and not paint at all, due to comments made by the parent then followed by the parent stating something along the lines of  “but little Suzy don’t you want to paint?” directly affected how I went about mentoring the rest of the day.

I didn’t anticipate this opportunity of societal observation when taking the job, but it was a nice bonus as far as I’m concerned.

I love this.
