WPA Membership Assistance
This is a great assistance to those of us with limited funds, and the WPA is a great organization to be a part of. Via Lenny Campello's Blog:
An anonymous donor is offering a free 1-year membership to Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) to four local artists in the DC/metro area. To receive further information or submit your request for consideration, please contact Carolina Salvador at poetsdaughter27@gmail.com.This is a very generous offer. I have been a member of the WPA for decades and the WPA offers its artist-members some very valuable resources; if you are not already a member, I strongly recommend that you join it.I hope over time this pledge idea will gain traction among members, donors and other supporters so that more and more artists may join WPA at no initial cost.

New Art - "contemplation"
I was asked to do an "open commissioned" piece utilizing numerous elements often found in Japanese styled artwork and tattoo designs. I loved the challenge and had numerous different visuals I wanted to incorporate into the piece but still retain my unique style.
Though this piece was created for one specific person in mind, it retains an "open commission" status so that others can purchase their own limited edition giclée print or canvas edition of the piece.
Though this piece was created for one specific person in mind, it retains an "open commission" status so that others can purchase their own limited edition giclée print or canvas edition of the piece.
Most of my commissioned pieces are "closed commissions" which means there is only one copy of it, and is not available for others to purchase a version of it.
There are instances though, where someone may commission me for a piece, that depending on our arrangement, I will offer it as limited edition giclée print and/or canvas edition.

The Billboard Art Project (so far) for 2012
The Billboard Art Project is taking over roadside digital LED billboards to turn them into free public art venues for 24 hours or more.
Those in-your-face and colorful canvases that you see as you sit stuck in traffic are turned over to local and international artists for a little break from everyday advertising, presenting larger-than-life art in glowing colors.
Catch a glimpse from your car as you drive by, or hang out for awhile and watch the show with other artists and onlookers.
You won't know what is coming next as different artists explore this medium, with the electronic canvas morphing every 6-10 seconds.
Upcoming Cities & Show Dates:
Each city's billboard will feature new art (this is not a traveling exhibit). Shows start at 12 a.m. / 00:00 / midnight.
Richmond, VA
Monday, April 2, 2012 at 12 a.m. to Sunday, April 29 at 11:59 p.m.
