There is lots of buzz and excitement at King Studios these days! At the TOP of the list is my up-coming show at ARTBOX Gallery in Downtown Indianapolis! I am thrilled to invite each and every one of you to “Eclectic Expressions: Works by Cagney King” presented by ARTBOX Gallery. For those of you familiar with my work, I think you can appreciate the Eclectic Expressions title! I am so excited and thrilled to spread my work out in this fantastic space. It is such an honor for me, as I have been a longtime ARTBOX fan. My artist reception will be held as part of the IDADA First Friday Gallery Tours on July 2nd from 5:00 pm until Midnight. So be sure to mark your calendars and make the ARTBOX a stop on your gallery tour. Please come and let’s celebrate together!  
The other ‘little’ project that I have been working on is to build, stretch and gesso the hell out of a 5’x8’ canvas. With the expansion of Studio 8 into connecting Studio 8b, I had the opportunity to use the connecting wall to design and build a large canvas support system in which to hold my large canvas. I am so excited to be able to work large! I have been diligently working on sketches for what I am envisioning putting on this canvas and am getting close to getting started. What has really been fun for me is the fact that I have fabricated the frame, stretched the canvas and even made my own gesso so that I could not only enjoy the entire process and journey of constructing it all together from scratch, but so that I could also save myself a lot of money! So, aside from a little transport issue here and there and some bruises that I’m sure will heal in no time…I am ready to attack this canvas!

Well…I had better get busy…I have a show to put on!

Until next time…Rock on!

Yes! Congrats on having work at Art Box, hopefully I can stop in!

Also, It is exciting to see the huge blank canvas!
Rock on - you made it all yourself, how wonderful!! I would love to make my own gesso, need to learn how.
Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Take care!

I like very much/ admire your honesty and ability to express your experience in writing and visual art. A great reminder to me about the choice to share more of me in what I create. This life does have some surprising flight patterns at times for sure! Thks
