Who ARTED?

My least favorite time of the year. Why? Show season is over. Ain't comin' back around until February. So what to do? While trying to figure that out my wife and I decided to sponsor a charity event called Who ARTED? A TWISTED Art Sale & Exhibit.

For Who ARTED? we put out a call to artists and asked some of our friends to donate a piece for the auction. All artists were given an old 33 rpm LP to create their masterpiece with. Some have used it as a canvas, some have made sculptures and some have--er, well, you just have to see for yourself!

Who ARTED? will be held at the Leapin' Lizard Gallery, 726 Main Street, Covington, Ky, on Dec. 5 at 7pm. There's a $2 cover at the door. There will be snacks and a cash bar as well as non-alcoholic drinks. And here's the important part: Proceeds will go to the American Diabetes Association.

Members of De Los Muertos will be beltin' out some twisted Christmas carols and the Pickled Brothers will be doin' some of their bug eatin', fire breathin', bed of nails layin' entertainment for your enjoyment.

Horrorhound

Hey kiddies, just droppin' a note about the last big blood fest of the year. I'll be set up at Horrorhound Weekend in Cincinnati OH this weekend. Who's gonna be there? Funny you ask. Just Gunnar Hansen, Linnea Quigley, Don Calfa, Michael Gross, Tom Savini, Kane Hodder and artists like Dick Starr, Cypography, Joel Robinson and myself. Oh, and someone named Elvira is supposed to be there as well...

Morehead Art Guild Show tomorrow

I'll be displaying 3 original pieces in the Morehead Art Guild's Annual Art Show at the Carl Perkins Center in Morehead KY tomorrow. Just so there's no confusion: I will not be selling prints or shirts at this event. I along with my wife Heather and youngest daughter Madison will be entering original art and photography.

One of the pictures I'll be showing is the art for the My Bloody Wedding movie poster. The movie and poster art features Morehead native David Fultz who plans to be there for a little while.

The following article is from the Ashland Independent and has more details.

Morehead Art Guild’s 26th annual Art Show (MAGI) will be Saturday at Carl Perkins Community Center.
