Wake Me Up Before You Go Go

This photo came in the other day from one of my favs...but really how am I going to get that promotion to VP of Public Relations?  

Don'tcha remember I got cited for excessive sleeping on the job.  

Just sayin' work with me!

What's Missing -or- Where's Tag?

Notice anything missing from these pictures?

Yup, the guys left me at home to make sure the cat did not get into mischief.  I think the guys went to someplace called Afton.  I would have like to run around on the beach.

Sun ~n~ Tag

Final Friday

Him was a bit worn out after a full week but I was able to drag Him over to Gallery XII to take a look at Bob Benson's photographic work and Wint Harris' glass work. Both are very talented in their respective disciplines (and Wint is from the same small western town that Him grew up in...also while we were there I had to take another look at Melinda Weis fantastic work... pears aren't bacon but they sure looked good enough to eat.

Back in Vintera gallery I really enjoyed a series of cat paintings this one titled:

Amish Cats

StopLight Gallery Premier

Well Him and our friend Lee Shiney came up with an idea about having a gallery on the corner of Douglas and Topeka that is our main display window at Lawrence Photo.  This gallery initially was conceived as the "Drive By" Gallery but that name was nixed because of the less than friendly implications.  Him and Lee joked around about calling the "RedLight Gallery but for obvious reasons decided StopLight Gallery was more family oriented. 

Below is the announcement Lee sent out about the new gallery space earlier today.  Him will get around to something official in the next day or so.

Lee Shiney Art     View email in your browser. January: Wow. Big. Ups and downs. Working backwards-Final Friday: Today is Final Friday in Wichita, and I have brand new work in a brand new gallery. This giant untitled piece (shown here under construction) is 6 x 10 feet, latex paint on unprimed, unframed canvas. And it's showing in a fun, new little gallery space that is actually part of Lawrence Photo at 401 E Douglas. Even more fun is that this gallery is "open" 24 hours a day, because it's viewable only from outdoors. So as you are cruising through the stoplight at Douglas and Topeka, look to the southeast corner. It's the Stoplight Gallery. Last week; down: A major server issue took out my website. It's still gone, so don't bother looking yet. I'm trying to treat this as an opportunity, rather than a catastrophe. Last week; up: But I did finish two collaborative works for the Art for Arthritis benefit coming up in March. You'll get a sneak peek when they go on display for Final Friday in February. Drive by!

Choo ... Choo!

Most everyone knows I like trains ... wouldn't it be cool if we had something like this here that would encourage the public to once again ecologically travel by rail?

Public Relations Manager!

Him finally got me some business cards ordered.  Was hoping that my title would get changed to VP of Public Relations but Him said I've been sleeping on the job a little excessively and although that was a possiblity in the future, for now Public Relations Manager would have to suffice.

It's going to be a week or so before my cards arrive and a couple days to get the new email set up but please stop by and I'll do my best to spread the public relations joy!
