Variety's the spice of life

Coming soon...

Chaotica presents: Howl at the Moon
Brennan's, 347 Clarence St., London ON

This is an alternative variety show. There'll be all sorts of acts performing plus vendors on the patio. I'll be there flogging my Altered Arte & Handicrafts. Hope to see you there too.

VisualFringe 2011 opening

Here's my wall space at this year's VisualFringe (photo by Rose Marie). I was kind of surprised by how dramatic it looked when all the pieces were hung together.





The opening recption was very well attended.

In the bottom left corner of this shot, you can see a bit of my cash 'n' carry display of "El Gato Gordo" canvases and cards.






The pieces in this year's show are quite diverse. There are giant metal sculptures, photography, paintings, mixed media pieces, and more.










My favourite moment of the evening was catching Tommy with The Reverend Nuge! I always get a kick out of seeing people's reactions to my work.

Good & evil

Here are my final two pieces for this year's Visual Fringe.

11"x14" - mixed media on canvas

11"x14" - mixed media on canvas








It's interesting how these two ended up together in a post. Though they couldn't have been more different as performers, both have incorporated elements of good and evil into their shows. And what shows they were too!

Cash 'n' carry

Here's a sneak peek at my cash 'n' carry stuff for this year's VisualFringe. The series is called "El Gato Gordo". There are 24 5"x7" canvas-on-board pieces plus greeting cards with smaller versions of the pictures.

Busy bee

My preparations for this year's Visual Fringe are well underway. I've got five of the seven pieces for hanging done. I'm also doing some smaller cash 'n' carry pieces. Fingers crossed I can get it all done--to my satisfaction--by the due date.
