During 'Art in the Bar lll'

The show was a success! I made a lot of connections, new friends and future clients! Thank you all who were involved in the show and all who came down to support your local artists. I can't wait for the next one! Here are a few photo's I took June 4th at the Knitting Factory during Art in the Bar lll (put on by Dead Bird Gallery). This is the 3rd art show I've been involved with, 2nd in Boise. What can I say, I love what I do! Very lucky!

Welcome to my display and spread!

I decided to simplify for this show so I created less finished pieces but added more powerful images!

This particular art show makes my brain work in ways I never knew it could!

I added Belt Buckles, increased my magnet diversity and numbers and printed/matted more edgy photographs.

SACS original photographs placed in Belt Buckle blanks and filled with Envirotex Lite Resin.

View of the Knitting Factory filled with 40 artists and their work... Upstairs and downstairs!

When the right tunes come on... you just gotta dance!!!

Wayne Crans - one of the creators of Art in the Bar. Also fellow photographer/artist!!!

This guy was hilarious and very supportive and nice:) Good times!

SACS, Mom, Dad & Nephew!

Cousins!

Mom-in-law and wife!

Friends!!!

My buddy/artist friend Candy Wilson and her boyfriend (my helper friend!!!)!

End of the night, time to pack up and go!

Thank you to everyone again who I didn't remember to snap a photo with!

Art in the Bar 3 - in preparation!!!

The day before Art in the Bar III is a big and busy day!!!

Here's a photograph of me working away.

Safety First!

Hope to see you June 4th at The Knitting Factory!

12pm to 10pm

I'll be there showing and selling my art work with 40 other artists!

Thank you Dead Bird Gallery for your amazing hosting skills:)

In two days I'll be joining roughly 40 other artists in an art show at The Knitting Factory in downtown Boise. I'll be showing mostly photography but I've thrown in a couple paintings and even something new (which will remain a surprise until the show). I'm getting more excited as it comes closer but I'm sure the nerves will kick in soon. Please come on down and get yourself some sweet art for your home!!!

Thank you Wayne Crans and Ellen Deangelis of Dead Bird Gallery for putting on this awesome event. You two are exactly what Boise needs... and of course what I need to get that fire lit under my you know what! Again, thank you!

Grace Potter & The Nocturnals

 Grace Potter & The Nocturnals played a 4 song set at The Record Exchange in Boise. Their individual music talents are mind blowing but when you put the whole band together, in my opinion, nobody else can rock harder!!! I was so impressed with the presence and positive energy of the band that I couldn't leave The Record Exchange. I was also on cloud 9 because I scored a drum stick that Matthew Burr played with during the day time set. Grace couldn't have been more sweet. She took time to meet every single person in line, sign autographs, listen to personal stories (including mine, thanking her for calling me the day before VOTING DAY to remind me of the importance:) and she also gave huge hugs to the wee ones who's parents were cool enough to take them to see/hear her and her unbelievable band! Sorry to those who could not make the shows. I'm still in awe!

Then it was night and the Knitting Factory was on fire! I honestly wish I had the words to describe how absolutely amazing the evening was but I don't. I'll leave you with a few photographs made with my little p&s.

 My favorite photograph of the evening... Blurry & Noisy = Perfect!

The whole band got up and played the drums during 'Medicine.'

Breath Taking!

Snoop Dogg is in Boise-Town

Tonight one of my dreams since 1991 will come true!

 Snoop Dogg performs at the Knitting Factory, late night.

Yes, 11:30pm doors open and I'll be there.

I've been hugely influenced by Snoop and tonight he helped spark me again.

I had this sudden urge to illustrate him and this is the outcome.
