Sublime Rush
I am very happy to tell you that I recently assumed ownership of Sublime Rush from the amazing EveryNextDream. I know I have some awesome shoes to fill there, but I am really looking forward to keeping the momentum of the magazine going. I have quite a few interviews lined up with some amazing artists around the world. There will be an In Review & Preview Issue at the end of August and then Issue 008 will be out at the end of October.

Send me a note here if you are interested in being in Sublime Rush or contributing, or email mail@sublimerush.com.

And if you are not familiar, you can check out the magazine here: www.sublimerush.com (www.sublimerush.com/)

4bstr4ct4rt
I have been trying to keep up with stuff over at 4bstr4ct4rt more lately. I think a few people thought the group was dead, but alas it is not. Thanks to Senecal, limegintonic, lien, and limnides for helping me keep up with the entries that come into the gallery. I know this is not the easiest group to get your work into. It is heavily juried. We do look for a certain element to the abstract work that goes into the gallery. We look for excellent compositions with an organic quality. If you look through the gallery and see what has made it in, that will help you gauge if your work is a good fit. If you do not make it, do not give up...try again. Some of our jurors will take the time to go to your gallery and tell you what is a better choice.

We recently announced a call for entries for 4bst4ct4rt's Box Folio Set One and Two
4bstr4ct4rt.deviantart.com/blo… you are interested in entering into this juried call, we would love to hear from you.

Art Life
On the home front I have been kicking ass with sales this month...I decided to take 4 paintings to a party and sold all of them, plus two more. Now that is what I call a great month!
I am planning an Open Studio event for the end of August, so hopefully I can keep up that momentum!!
I have also been busy serving as Secretary on the board of German Village Art League here in Columbus, Ohio. www.gvartleague.com/index.php
That has been an interesting experience so far. Getting ready for many events for the rest of the year, including Gallery Informal, which is where we partner with a local gallery to help give our members advice on how to approach a gallery with their work.

Wow...it is a wonder I have time to sleep.

Things That Changed Other... by peggymintun
The Sketchbook Project 2011 Tour was created by the Arthouse Co-op in Brooklyn, NY. It is the fifth tour with many themes for the artists to choose from. Iaian Greenson (DoctorBalls), from Toronto, Canada, chose the theme "Things That Changed Other Things". His sketchbook explores this theme with 73 pages of beautiful artwork. As Iaian's sketchbook tours the US he will be notified each time a person looks at his work of art. Each journal on the tour will have a barcode and will be checked out by the viewer like a library book. Eventually his sketchbook will make it back to the Brooklyn Art Library to be part of their permanent collection.

Check out the sketchbook on the tour if you can. Otherwise you can see Iaian's sketchbook here: www.flickr.com/photos/58747210…

Sitting here a little bummed that my long weekend is almost over and I will have to go back to the grind tomorrow. I am ridiculously behind on some projects, but I need to get everything done before my little trip to Canada next week. I best get busy!

As I was faving a ton of stuff from my watch folder today, I thought that "interesting colour pallets" would make a nice feature...
