Friday, August 17th 2012 from 6PM until 9PM will be the opening night ceremony/reception for the two person show that Cassandra Graham and myself will be putting on at the Yellow Springs Ohio, Arts Council Building. The show is entitled "The Carnival of Souls" Please join us there if you think you'll be visiting Ohio, the USA or might be making plans to do so! The show will run thereafter for several weekends on Saturday and Sunday until the middle of September...we will be at the show on these days as well so you can come meet us as well as see our work in person.
In other news...I just found out that I got a mention and a sort of feature in the July issue of Dolls magazine! shop.dollsmagazine.com/back-is… It's an article about this year's Quinlan Art Doll and Teddy Bear show and I am mentioned in the section about those pieces purchased by the Quinlan's for their Art Doll museum in Santa Barbra California USA! My piece Elias the Valley Strider- which is the piece they purchased and that now resides in the aforementioned museum- is the one piece the publisher chose to print a photo thereof! It's not a hug photo...but it's right there in the article and towards the front of the issue!
Just found out that I will be doing a 45 minute demo/presentation at the 2013 Quinlan Art Doll and Teddy Bear Show!
That is all...
..on a side note, I was just informed that the links on the header to this journal went to pages that are not my own...I guess no one else has ever checked them out! They are fixed now....so....yeah...thanks to my dear friend for cluing me in to the over site.
Multi-talented artist Cassandra Graham- wild life painter, jewelry artist and now doll artist- and I have been accepted to participate in the Yellow Springs Ohio Arts Center show this year in August- the show runs through September. We are very excited to premier our first real joint show...this will be the maiden launch of:
Carnival of Souls -
A rich, entirely original, one-of-a-kind palette of characters expressing fantasy, myth, humor and portraiture as well as the outrageous. Two separate and different visions with a common thread of creating small 'souls' to intrigue and delight the viewer - all from a piece of clay.
So...come one...come all to our Carnival of Souls!!!!!
UPDATE CORRECTION
I have a an update on the dates for the show I'll be co-hosting with Cassandra Graham- the Carnival of Souls. This is to be at the Yellow Springs Arts Center in Ohio from August 17-September 9th 2012- starting with a Gallery Reception that Friday- the 17th- as part of Yellow Spring's "Friday Fling". The gallery will be open on each Saturday during those dates. Times are tentative for now...10Am to...?
I hope to see you there... I believe it is weekends only...? Further updates and confirmations on those dates forthcoming... STAY TUNED! If any one else here is in or near this part of Ohio- or in or near Ohio at all- I invite you to visit Yellow Springs and to stop by the show. Yellow Springs Ohio is a lovely little town with some small amount of notoriety- it is the home of Antioch University which counts among its most famous alumni Rod Searling! Come see our Carnival of Souls and say hello!
HELLOOOOOOOO!!!! Any one read my journals any more at all...?

I accidentally deleted 75 messages from folks that I had not replied to yet! So...I can only apologize and hope that those of you wonderful folks who made comments and who have yet to receive a reply will read this and know that I read EVERY comment always... I'm still trying to catch up from all the lovely comments I received from the DD I received several months ago AND all the wonderful Happy Birthday wishes I received shortly thereafter... Deletus prematurus... I assure you, I'm not a snob- though I have been very busy trying to make ends meet and to generate new work and pieces- but I am a doofus...
I have not been terribly active here on DA for a while...although I have been very busy. Here's a little something I'm quite proud of that was a joint project with my nephew Corey Rindler. It was a proposal by him for his final project in music engineering at Capitol University in Columbus Ohio. I was deeply honored and excited. This is likely as close as I will ever come to realizing my dream of a movie being made featuring my stories and concepts and art...so here they are, Project Esoterra in three parts.

Well...just a few days until Quinlan Artist Doll & Teddy Bear Convention. Come see me and my work! http://www.quinlanmuseum.com/convention/agenda-summary.html
Okay, so...I have not been on DA much for quite some time... I wonder if that matters much, but here I am. I've been VERY ill for several months and basically all through the holidays...so they weren't exactly joyous. I think I have a handle on things and I'm getting better physically any way- but my mood has been pretty down. Last year was quite a mixed box of things and ended....not great.But, I'm busy working on some new stuff- mostly a piece for an art exhibition being held out west in Washington state at a couple of galleries. It's a fantasy mixed media sculptural exhibition centering around interpretations of the Zodiac and the pla...
