ART SHOW APPLICATION IMAGING SERVICE Slides are a thing of the past, and to stay competitive in the art show circuit it has become necessary to have high-quality digital images of your art work. The new standard for art show applications is uploading your images directly onto the Internet using jurying systems such as Zapplication, CaFÉ & JAS. We know how overwhelming these systems can be if you are new to the digital world. Rest easy because we're here to help! Send us your slides, photos, or digital images, and for $20 an image, it will be sent back to you redigitized to the very specific requirements of Zapp, JAS or CaFÉ! For $5 more per image we will provide you with a CD-R of the image(s) and upload it to your online portfolio on one or all of the above jurying systems. To view more details on this service, click here! If you'd prefer to learn how to get your images ready yourself, click here for info on our "Going Digital for Artists" workshop. |
 Here the detail has been sharpened with added contrast and a solid background. - Artist: Kelley Dragon - |

DR. SEUSS ART EXHIBIT INVITATION LIST The Lost Art of Dr. Seuss is an exhibit that is set to be released early fall of 2009. Not only was Dr. Seuss a talented children's author and illustrator, but his lesser known works consist of political cartoons, unorthodox taxidermy (as pictured on the right), and paintings. Since his death in 1991, a number of Dr. Seuss' lost stories, illustrations, and artworks have been found. The stories have been published, but the artworks have not. This yet-to-be-released show is going to be a complete surprise! The Lost Art has not been shown anywhere before. If you are interested in seeing another side of Dr. Seuss' legacy, support our Fourth Friday Film Fest, and call or e-mail to have your name put on our invitation list. |

MAN WITH A GOLDEN HELMET
This framed original oil on canvas was painted by artist Reba Inverso. It is a copy of the work "Man with the Golden Helmet" originally believed to have been completed in 1650 by artist, Rembrandt van Rijn. Whether the original masterpiece was actually done by Rembrandt or by one of his contemporaries no longer matters. "Man with the Golden Helmet" has been celebrated for hundreds of years for the soft, subdued tones in the old warriors worn face which contrast the brimming gold of his armor. The painting will always be appreciated for the feelings of comfort, sadness and joy it has brought to generation after generation. The Old Masters are no longer available to guide a student and demonstrate how they actually work to achieve the perfection we see in their art. The ancient tradition of copying the successful works of Old Masters to learn their secrets is carried on today by artists who wish to develop similar skills and sensitivities to form. Reba has copied the original with near perfection capturing all of the qualities that were instilled inside of each of us the first time we were introduced to this image. Reba Inverso's copy of the masterwork measures 20" high x 16" wide. The asking price is $850.00. For inquiries, please call us at 321-722-6000 or 888-581-2787. |

THE ART MARKET RISES AS THE STOCK MARKET FALLS With rising gas prices and the continuing downward spiral of the stock market some investors are turning to the art market as an investment option. Analysts have confirmed that even though the art index fell last year (2007), this year it has been recording tremendous returns at both domestic and international auctions. Saffronart's recently concluded summer auction sold 70 percent of the selected works and of that, 66 percent sold for over the estimated value. At a recent Christie's auction Monet's "Le Bassin aux Nympheas" was expected to fetch $40 million and was actually bought at $80.5 million. |

FUNNY QUOTES BY FAMOUS ARTISTS My mother said to me, "If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope." Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso. -Pablo Picasso Being born is like being kidnapped, and sold into slavery. What is important is to spread confusion, not eliminate it. |
