News/Updates: - 9/2 – Class Update: The Printmaking Intro / Lino Cut class has
been MOVED, it is now slated to start on September 28th, and run
on Thursday Nights from 6-8:30, October 7, 14, 21. The class will also be open to ages 14 to Adult. It is intended for people who are
curious/interested in Printmaking, as well as those [adults] who “did it back
in school” and want to try again. The classes will be at Creative Arts Studio in
Whitinsville, MA. Stay Tuned for an announcment of an Open House, slated for Thursday
Sept 16 at the Studio. I should
have a demonstration/display to promote the class. - My friend, award winning author Resa Nelson, has her new novel “Our Lady
of the Absolute” published through Mundania Press, coming out – She has been
busy putting together some short film clips “interviewing” some of the
characters. It’s an interesting
concept. Here’s one of the
videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAuCQrbFNEY - 5/22 – I have decided to take a Leave of Absence from Westboro
Gallery through this Fall. All work will be reclaimed by the end of May. This
has been a difficult decision for some time. I am eternally grateful to the
Gallery and it’s membership for the years of support, but I need to take a
step back and re-evaluate my own approach. - 3/5 – Hot off the Press!
My Bi-fold Living History and Artist Flyer/Brochure just arrived! Full
of images of me in my various costume and info on my programs! If you would like a brochure, email
me! Many many thanks to Kerrin Graphics of Dudley, MA, who
have printed a bunch of my stuff including business cards and a significant
portion of prints of my drawings. - 3/3 – My illustrations and reconstruction artwork are
published in William R. Short’s newest Viking book: “Icelanders in the Viking Age: The
People of the Sagas”, published through McFarland and Co. It was a fun and challenging project,
certainly as the Norse/Viking age isn’t really a big interest of mine, but,
working with Dr. Short one-on-one to develop the illustrations was very
interesting and I learned more about the people and material than I knew
before. I’ve known Dr. Short for
years having worked with him in Higgins Armory Sword Guild since its
inception, and I highly recommend his ‘Viking’
presentations at Higgins. Just awesome. - 2/27 - I was
recently seen in an article on my Roman program in the Worcester Telegram and
Gazette: "A
Soldier's Tale: Roman legionnarie visits Holden" (TelegramTowns,
Holden/Paxton/Princeton/Rutland 2/25/10) *note
that “Legionnaire” is incorrect, it should be “Legionary”. Well, Ok,
technically it’s Miles but now that’s splitting hairs…. Anyway I’m very happy
with the article, the reporter did a good job keeping up. Good pics from the
photographer. Upcoming Events: (Ongoing) Class Signup - Bella Luce Art Café aka Creative Arts Studio, Whitinsville
