Circus Gypsy Adventures

Jane and I were extras in a local music video! We were about a block away from the pod, then we saw all this mayhem and thought, "ok?!" We met up with some cool cats like DJ Nomathematics, and N8 Studio! 

See what happens when you hangout at the KC POD! More to come, stay tuned for updates!

Hey everyone,

Jane Radstrom and Trey Bryan have posted on there blogs

Open Figure Night was a Success!

TAD visits MARK ENGLISH!

Today, Mark English met up with TAD for lunch and then invited all of us to the studio to check out his new work. It was amazing! Mark is a machine! When ask what inspired him to pump out all these new paintings he responded, "because the process interested me so much!" Mark has been using collage with his oil paintings. He showed us new finished paintings, as well as small studies intended for larger works- and talked about the challenge of scaling up while maintain his sense of texture and mark-making.

Thank you Mark once again for letting us in your home.

Figure Night

We had a great night here drawing at the POD! A big thanks goes out to the model for her excellent poses and attitude. Everyone here pumped out some great, informative drawings with personal intent, you all should be proud! Here are some selections from the last drawing session, a lot to think about as far as technique and thinking of simplicity- a lot of great things going on!
