Peace and Love my Art Friends, Peace and Love!

I’ve been on holiday in beautiful northern Michigan for the last week or so and haven’t had a lot of time in studio; however, I did find some time to do some sketching and planning for some new paintings that I’m very excited about. Just to tease you a little bit, I am taking my concrete work to a new level with even more texture and more mixed medium usage – if you can believe that! As always I have been experimenting and testing some new ideas and I really like the direction it is taking me! So be on the look out for some really keen stuff!

In the meantime, I have some new works in progress that will be on display in Studio 8 for the 2nd Friday Artists Upstairs Open Studio Event! So if you have some time and are looking for a place to warm-up this Friday Evening then head on over to Greenfield and enjoy the festivities. Lots of holiday themed activities will be taking place (‘tis the season right?) including a parade of lights through downtown and the lighting of the Christmas tree complete with choirs a’ caroling! Everything get’s underway around 7 PM and you will have plenty of time to stop in and visit all the artist’s open studios on the 2nd Floor of the Creative Arts and Events Center! You can click HERE for a list of events; and you can click HERE for directions!
I’m both sad and excited to say that this post will bring you the last installment of the WHBU Artist in Residence Radio Show. My good friend and host, Leland will be moving on to other opportunities. The reason I am sad is because I just loved talking about art on the radio, and the reason I am excited is because of the great opportunity my friend will get to experience as he moves on and I wish him all the luck in the world!

So, without further delay – grab yourself a tin of fizzy pop, sit back and relax, and listen to the December radio show!
Hope to see everyone hovering around Studio 8 tomorrow night! I’m kind of a hum-bug when it comes to all this holiday jazz, but that won’t stop me from talking about my art and sharing my new work with you!

Until next time – Rock on!

Greetings art lovers and fans! Time is just flying by and the paint and concrete have been flying as well in King Studios! I have been getting a lot of questions about my new work and I’m pleased to announce that at the November 2nd Friday Open Studio night at the Creative Arts and Event Center –  I will indeed have some new work to share with you in Studio 8! I’m also excited to share with you that my Juarez Painting Series will be on display in the J. Ward Walker room – all hanging together for the first time ever! If you have a chance to come out to the event I would love to see everyone and chat about my new work. Click HERE for directions. As usual you will be able to find me hanging about Studio 8 on the 2nd floor, as all the Artists Upstairs Studio Artists will have the welcome mats out for you. It promises to be a fun night of music, wine and of course ART. For some insight and more discussion about my work, be sure to scroll down and check out the November installment of the WHBU Cagney King Artist in Residence Radio Show.

I have received several e-mails about the picture featured on the November E-mail flyer. It is a detail from my ‘Fibonacci 42’ mixed media painting. Mixed media including but not limited to concrete, tempera, graphite, acrylic, collage, and oil paint. But of course the only way to really enjoy it is in person, and you guessed it, I will have it hanging in Studio 8 for you to spend some quality time with. You can also read a little more about the background of the painting HERE in my journal. And you can visit the CURRENT page to see it as well.
Well…back to work! Lots to do before the Friday Night show. And remember, “when asked what to do with the weight of the world on his shoulders; Atlas merely shrugged.” And then I’m pretty sure he went to an art exhibit to help lift his spirits.
Until next time!
Rock on!

Hello Everyone! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who made it out to the show, and perhaps are still going to the show. (show runs thru July 31st!) I have been overwhelmed by the response and the comments about my work...it is all very flattering. In my mind the show is a success, and I hope to be able to keep the positive energy and momentum going forward! If I could only bottle that for when I really need it! Please watch the video for my commentary on my Solo Indianapolis Show: Cagney@Wugs! I did it thinking of those director comments that I love to listen to when I watch a really good movie!

Thank you to Paul D'Andrea Photography (www.pdaphotography.com) for the pics; as well as Frank Espich for the photography elements!
