Monday night was a blast at Gypsy Cafe on the South Side. It was an evening of humorous comic book heroines and even a hero. Bios were read, poses were struck, and I was able to capture a couple sketches. I can’t recall all of the models names, so I apologize, but here are a [...]

Without further adieu… I give you the Kalamazoo Llamas. The bricks are a little salute to Marc-Andre [...]

Chuck Connelly
I recently watched the HBO Documentary “The Art of Failure: Chuck Connelly Not for Sale”. It was a very good documentary, and it opened me up to his work. Chuck has a very interesting style, and I personally was drawn toward a lot of his Scaboda pieces. They are the pieces that were painted by [...]
Ron Mueck
I visited the Ron Mueck exhibit at the Warhol last night with the local Arthouse Meetup Group. I had a great time talking with the local members and touring the work.
