For those who might think I don’t know Jack, I’m here to tell you otherwise. In fact, after yesterday’s WhiskeyFest Tasting Experience at the Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas, I not only know Mr. Daniels but a few of his friends as well.
You learn a lot about someone over a lifetime of creative endeavors in this journey we call life. Raphael, or “Raf” to his friends, has been a dear friend of mine and an inspiration since our first encounter when we were introduced by our mutual friend, artist Michael Cacy, in the late 1980s. Back then, I was painting the larger-than-life Hollywood Video murals. Raf was creating beautifully detailed airbrushed illustrations.
The best Super Bowl party ever. Not to discount previous Super Bowl parties because they’re all great in their own way, but this one was different. Mostly, in the past, I’ve gone to friends’ homes for Super Bowl parties. I always enjoy those. I’m sure you do, too… hanging with friends, meeting new people, and catching up. Although, in reality, a lot of times, they’re more party than a game. Good times, though – all of them.
The Jennifer McCarty Art Show – “An Aries Artist” was her 1st Solo Show, but you wouldn’t know it by the crowd. She showed 61 original pieces and had a great turnout of friends and fans.
For anybody who doesn’t know James, he’s the man for art supplies in Las Vegas. His family has owned and operated Desert Art Supplies for three generations.
As they say, “All great things come to an end, and it is now CityLife’s time to exit gracefully from the Sin City media landscape.” Alas, CityLife is no more.
Art Giclée (pronounced “zhee-clay”) prints have been around the art scene for quite a while now. They first made their appearance in the early 1990s as a process to reproduce fine art. They are a beautiful by-product of the computer era.u would see in traditional color printing.
A while back – September 2012 specifically – I was interviewed by ModelsMania magazine for a feature article. I know I made mention of it then, but I only recently reached out and asked if I could share it with my readers here. They were very gracious in sharing and said “yes”, so read on for the complete story from 2012 – better late than never, eh? Enjoy.
Shades of Gray… you want 50 to inspire passion? Forget about it. I got 256.
There is an old adage that says things happen for a reason.
With the new year and my move into a new studio comes a renewed vision and spirit of creative energy.
Sometimes, especially in this fantastic world of art, you run across something that is so beautiful that it must be shared. This short video created by Rino Stefano Tagliafiefierro is just that and more.
