Epic Accomplishment or Epic Failure? We shall see.

I realize it's been quiet on this blog for the last month, but believe me, in real life it has been anything but. I moved to Atlanta and I started a new job, but that's only the tip of the busy-ness iceburg. You see, soon after I started this project, I knew I would want to display it; not only to share it with everyone, but to hold my short-attention-spanned-self accountable to finish it. Last November at the annual Famous Fictional show, I talked with Mad Art gallery owner, the lovely Ron Buchele, about putting together a group show with a general theme about friendship.

He totally went for it.

Now, eleven months and 20 incredible artists later, it's almost here! Hence, the silence. I've been feverishly cranking away at getting ALL four-hundred-some-odd portraits finished. SO, what does that mean for you? It means that you STL locals should come out and see them all LIVE at the Sidekicks & Soulmates opening reception! I mean really, how many times will your sweet mug ever hang in a gallery?

Q&A Section

Q: Can we buy our portraits?

A: You sure can! Portraits are $10 a piece. BUT WAIT! Come out to the reception on October 7th and you can get your portrait for only $5! If you can't make it to the opening, fear not. I will post instructions on how you can get yours after the show.

Q: Will we be able to take them with us that night?

A: The show will hang until October 31st and then each portrait will be scanned if hasn't been already and then it will be on it's way to you! (About 2 weeks after it comes down.) 

Q: My portrait hasn't been posted on the blog. Did you get it done?

A: If you've been my friend for the last six months, then YES, you're picture will be up. I must confess that a few people did get skipped due to only having pictures of their kids posted or having pictures so small that I couldn't make them out. 

Q: We'd love to come, but no one will watch our horribly misbehaved children.

A: No problem. While an art opening isn't really a kid-friendly event, they are certainly welcome to tag along. Mad Art is an old jail that's been converted into a gallery. If they act up, we can throw them in a cell. Just make sure they don't touch the art. 

Q: WHAT ABOUT THE BLOG!! 

A: To me, the write-ups are the best part of this project and they will resume after the show!

SEE YOU THERE THIS FRIDAY (October 7, 2011)
