The opening reception for the first showing of “Natural Resources” was a great success!

The gallery was packed with people for the entire evening, and several of the artists showed up to check out the show! Attending artists included Mike Burnett, Chris Ryniak, Amanda Spayd, Allie Smith, and Julia Kuo.

We’d like to take a moment to thank Mr. Mike Burnett, without whom none of this would have been possible.

More than 40 artists have customized Mike Burnett’s “Neighborwood” and brand-new
“Average Joe Schmoe” wooden DIY figures for a traveling exhibit that will open
Friday, November 6th in the Shoparooni Annex Gallery in Cleveland, Ohio. The
exhibit will run from November 6th, 2009, until December 5th, 2009.

The artist list includes: Jeremiah Ketner, Chris Ryniak, Brian Morris, Ryan Bubnis,
Johnny Yanok, Amanda Spayd, Steak Mountain, Brian Flynn (Super 7), Martin Ontiveros, Le Merde, Chris Gliebe, Leo Espinosa, Mark Murphy, Ralston Fox Smith, Sean Mahan, Jason Limon, MAD, Mark Frauenfelder, Hydro74, 64 Colors, Mark Nagata, Paul Escolar, Ken Keirns, Mr. Shane Jessup, and many more!!!

The opening reception will be held Friday, November 6th from 7 pm until 11 pm. Some
artists will be in attendance.

This will be the first stop of “Natural Resources”, which is a traveling show! More stops
are planned for 2010, and even more artists to be announced.

Here are a series of customized Neighborwood figures by a collection of amazing artists.

Darth Vader doesn’t wear Nike, or even Pumas, the big man wears Adidas.

We sculpted and produced this elegant limited edition set of stacking figures for Visionaire. Visionaire generously donated the money from all sales to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
