Fourth Street Festival of the Arts and Crafts!!

With great weather predicted, a new show layout and lots of wacky work from Moe's Ache Studio, this year's Fourth Street Festival of the Arts and Crafts is destined to be one of the best!   

All artists will now be on 4th Street thanks to an addition of a new block from Dunn to Indiana.  This expansion includes lots of walkways between booths, giving patrons a better opportunity to browse without the crowds.  Cooler temps and great art under shady trees should further enhance the Fourth Street experience.  

Moe's Ache Studio will be moving "up street" in a double booth #97-98 (closer to Dunn Street).  

Look for our giant mosaic fish, "Marlon Grando" and an oversized mixed media pumpkin, currently referred to as the "Big A-- Pumpkin" and you'll know you are in the right booth!  

'Looking forward to seeing you there!

Show hours are Saturday, September 5 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, September 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Mirror Cat-Meerkat

I've always been intrigued by those cute, mischievous Meerkats. And while my backyard is not quite the Kalahari, it is home to my version, a mosaic, mirrored, "Mirror Cat". This guy is actually a prototype/study for a for a "Cat Clan" commission I'm starting. The WIP will be constructed of recycled materials including, PVC pipe for the body, old wooden shoe trees for the arms and a yet-to be determined head.
My goal is not only to finish 3 cats, but to document the process. 'Keep checking back!

The Buck Stops Here

More inspiration for new art pieces strolled across the lawn this week in the form of a young buck. Our studio really IS in the city but you'd never believe it by the wildlife we see daily. By the time I got my camera he was headed across the neighbor's lawn and down the middle of the street.
