Looking for a change of scenery? Check out the CNY BLOOMS show.
I helped some artists set up today and it was pretty much like walking into Spring. They were setting up full fledged gardens, with fountains, there was some art getting set up, there will be demos going on and art on display by the Skaneateles Artisans.
There will be a painting dog portrait and a stained glass demo for sure!
See the CNY BLOOMS website, to get more information.
It’s right around the corner from Variety Studios headquarters. Check it out at the Oncenter Complex, 800 South State Street, Syracuse, NY 13202.
11 days until Pittsbirds as I’ve been calling it. I will be showing my ever expanding series entitled ‘birds’ in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Saturday the 20th.
There will be work from 15 different artists on display, work in all sorts of media & available for purchase. Five bucks to get in which includes a free beverage.
The name of the event is ‘Art Bash’, in addition to the artists, there will be music and a pretty solid representation of variety studios and friends heading down. It’s going to be pretty awesome, check it out if you’re in the Pittsburgh area or feel like a destination for a road trip!
I will also have prints available in addition to the canvases and wood paintings!
This past weekend was the 24th Annual AM-JAM TATTOO EXPO in Syracuse/Liverpool NY, where Winky Dink Ink’s Bobby Ciffone and Matt Truiano participated in the festivities. It was an impressive convention that I expect to attend every year from now on. So many talented artists from all over set up shop at the Holiday Inn with tattoo enthusiasts mingling and getting tattooed everywhere you turned.
Craft Chemistry is a neat little gallery up the street in little italy, syracuse. Tonight they will be showing ‘beautiful losers’ at 7pm

An architect friend has been working with Joel Fitzpatrick, rumor is there should be a new site released soon with some of her work on there. Thought this was a pretty cool stop animation project…

Hyperrealistic Sculptures: Duane Hanson, Ron Mueck and More
by
Marcus Lewis
Fri Nov 20th, 2009:
Most people have gone to a wax museum at some point in their lives, taking pictures with famous people that look fairly realistic. We’ve stood next to these wax sculptures pretending we were a piece of art or acting like a sculpture sitting on one of the benches to have someone walk by starring at you trying to figure out what famous person you could be. It is tons of fun, but looking back on that experience and pictures of those wax sculptures, there is an obvious unrealistic aspect to each one.
I love photorealistic work because of its precise execution and attention to detail the artist puts into it. Photorealistic paintings get me all the time, one person in particular is Gottfried Helnwein, he produces larger than life paintings so realistic you could swear they were blown up photographs.
“Paper Architecture: Posters by Michael Bierut opens at Syracuse University’s School of Architecture tomorrow, Thursday, 5 November. The exhibition is the first devoted to Bierut’s poster design and features 28 works from 1983 to the present for clients including the Architecture League of New York, the Yale School of Architecture, the New York State Council for the Arts and the University of Cincinnati. Bierut and his team are currently designing the environmental graphics for Syracuse’sConnective Corridor project linking the university to downtown. The exhibition is on view at Syracuse Architecture’s Slocum Hall Gallery through January 22.” – Pentagram
