Dennis McNett, Painter/Sculptor/Window Designer!

"Breathing is a good thing," according to Dennis McNett, the painter/sculptor that recently came to our attention across the blogosphere and we are happy to share his dramatic works with you here. His paper-mache animal masks were recently featured in Barney’s fashion window displays on Madison Avenue in New York City. McNett has also created large scale works for events like dragon slayings in Oklahoma and Viking performances/parades in Philadelphia.

View more of McNett’s graphics and sculptures on his Wolfbat website.

Artisans' Are On Vacation!

It's summer. It's hot. Some of us are out of town visiting cool places. Consequently the members of the Artisans' section will not meet in July or August. Or next meeting at the St. Louis Artists' Guild will be September 9, 7pm. Besides having a featured speaker our stone & wood carvers are planning a mini symposium on tool sharpening. I will have some news & thoughts to share during our break so don't forget to check back here occasionally. Best wishes & have a great summer!
