The Art Crawl

Byron Moore

Kevin and I went to the Art Crawl yesterday. It's a great way to see a lot of art, most of which you would never get a chance to see otherwise. You get a map and go from building to building, following the signs to artists studios and apartments. 

Kevin Backlund is one of the artists that worked at my gallery. You can see his stuff here.

Byron Moore (pictured above) was one of the first artists we saw. He makes art out of pegboard. You can see his work here.

The roof above an elevator.

Now, I'm not saying that all artists are poor, or that all landlords are slumlords, but some of the places we saw could definitely use some work. See the cracks in the glass roof in the picture above? Luckily the elevator is not in use, or maybe they use it for freight. All I know is we couldn't use it, and there were a lot of stairs!

Wouldn't you want to live or work here? Mold anyone?

A brilliant idea for business cards.

Mary Barrett.

Mary Barrett was one of my favorites. Lots of amazing woodcuts and unbelievable talent. Unfortunately, she has no website and I didn't take more pictures. :-)

Kyle Renell

Kyle is another one of the artists from my gallery. We found her playing flute in the first building we entered. She also had some of her art up. You can see here work here.

Captain Mudslinger

Kevin P. O'Hara, also known as Captain Mudslinger works mostly with pottery and sculpture.

He teaches pottery too!  Above you can see him with one his sculptures. You can see more of his work here.

We really did have a good time. I didn't get to many pictures because most of the time it was too dark, and the flash is bad! I did get inspired though, and now I just want to play with art all day, but work calls.
