James Walker at Art Whino

From Art Whino...

Washington DC artist James Walker’s insightful and honest new works reflect on the current moment and the fleeting nature of time. The exhibition will include paintings, photographs, books and collage works that together are a collection of moments, insights and ideas that evolve from Walker’s constant documentation of the world around him. He describes his work as focused on the ideas of living in the present moment and never taking anything for granted. Walker’s works strike a deeply personal chord leaving viewers both lost in the moment and somehow more aware of the present at the same time.

Friday, June 5th, from 6pm – Midnight

Location:
173 Waterfront St.
National Harbor, MD 20745

Show end date: July 3rd

Music by DJ Fleg

The event is FREE and open to the public.

The magic of Summit Studios

I've know Darren Mahuron from Summit Studios for about a year now and let me tell you, not too many people work as hard as this guy. He's told me stories of hiking through hills carrying tables, chairs, lighting and camera equipment, all to find the perfect place for a shoot. I've seen him pull 12 hour days, one after the other, just to hear he went home and worked some more. I tell you this because when you look below and begin to gasp in awe you will ask yourself, "how did this guy get so good?" The answers are above. Yes, Darren and wife Lisa have a great amount of natural talent, but talent alone will get you nowhere. It takes lots of work, tons of dedication, sleepless nights, and grueling days. The fruits of these labors are evident in the following images. Now, feast your eyes on the greatness of Summit Studios.

These are some pieces from Darren and Lisa Mahuron's "Bonnie and Clyde" series.


"Federal Reserve"


"The Vault"


"TNT"


"Pursuit"


"The Pool Hall"


"Exit Wound"


"The Getaway"

Right about now you are wondering where you can see more, or inquire about purchasing fine art prints and mounted prints of Summit Studios' work, right? Of course we won't leave you hanging on that one. If you want to see work in person, Summit Studios is located at 107 Linden Street in Fort Collins, CO. The studio is open to the public each 1st Friday of the month from 6-10pm or other times by appointment. If you can't get to Fort Collins, just go to the website and Myspace below to contact Darren and Lisa for commissions, commercial work, and fine art.

Gas Masked Munny

We couldn't resist posting this cool custom 4" Munny from Felix Jackson, Jr. Maybe it's the nice little spray nozzle on the top with the orange paint dripping down. Maybe it's the snazzy way he took the photo. Maybe you should check out more at http://www.flickr.com/photos/felixjacksonjr/
