What Red wall you ask? Well…only the hottest red wall in all of Indianapolis!  And that is the Red Wall at Wug Laku’s Studio and Garage! Cagney@Wug's is the name of my show coming to Wug’s gallery in July! The Opening Reception will kick-off at 6 pm on Friday, July 3rd! This is such a great opportunity for me! Having a show and the chance to showcase my work to the Indianapolis art scene is a big step and after a LOT of work up until this point…I’m ready! If you are not already planning to come, please check your calendars and do try to come. I would love to see everyone and share this special night with you all! The gallery is located at 1125 Brookside Avenue, c7, Indianapolis, IN. 46202.

I have already gotten some e-mails and comments on the interview and have connected with some new friends from this experience…so much fun! Don’t forget to e-mail me and let me know what you think!

In other news…This just in! Cagney King wins 1st and 3rd place overall in the Mixed Media category of the Will Vawter Art Competition! Poetry Pants came in 1st and Signals came in 3rd. It was a great show, and there were many great artists there, so I am very proud to have ‘stuck out in the crowd’ so to speak. I also had an opportunity at the Artist’s Reception to talk to several people about my work, and the feedback was tremendous.

Speaking of interviews. The Indianapolis Star came and interviewed me in my studio for the upcoming Show – Cagney@Wug’s! They did a photo shoot of me with my work and in my studio, as well as a video interview! Wow…it was awesome. As soon as I can get links to the on-line video, I will of course post here. If you are a subscriber to the Indy Star, I believe the photo and release will be in Wednesday or Thursdays edition. Check out the Metro section and the go sections.

Well, I have a show to put on, so I better get hoppin!
Until next time, ROCK ON!

 
 

Hello (hello -hello (insert echo effect here) out there! Been a while since we chatted! Don't be sore with me, I have been very busy in Studio working on some new work and getting ready for my next show! After all, I have to paint! It is what I do! (...and if I don't then small animals and wildlife are sacrificed) I have been exploring new textures and letting myself be taken on a journey with my new work...and boy what a ride it has been. I want to share it with you all and am excited to do so, so let me take a few minutes aside to personally invite you all to my next show! The show will be at Wug Laku's Studio & Garage Gallery and will be part of First Friday in downtown Indianapolis! So that will be Friday, July 3rd! I'm so excited to be working with Wug and Nancy, and thrilled at the prospect of getting into a gallery in Indianapolis! Please plan to come! Of course I will send out reminders and will keep bugging you to come! The gallery is right off of Mass Ave in Indianapolis at the Circle Center Industrial Complex. So very cool!

OK - to keep you busy while you wait for my next show, I have posted below the next in the continuing series of radio interviews as WHBU's Artist in Residence. Please take a listen and enjoy!

Also, be sure to visit the Cagney Links page as you will see a new link to a Wikizine that I started. I plan to write articles about my paintings and go into more depth regarding each painting journey. How is a Wikizine different than a blog you ask? Well, truth be known, I have no idea in hell. I just know that it was highly recommended that I give this a try...so I'm going for it! If the idea of a Wikizine scares you, I have posted portions of the articles as part of my Journal entry series, so you can stay right here in Cagneyland and enjoy the jist of it there.

Keep the comment love coming! Really, really...I love you long time! Licky-licky $5 for sure!

Until next time - ROCK ON!
