The local art & sculpture society wants me to put together enough pieces for a month-long exhibition at a posh restaurant. True, in a town this small, "posh" can only go so far, but it's more recognition than I've gotten before.
I guess this just proves that if recognition is what you're after, just move back to the small pond. Posted by AntiCool (Member # 7386) on :
How big is the town?
Posted by HesterGray (Member # 7384) on :
That's awesome! Congratulations!

That's one small step for Annie, one giant leap for Annie-kind! Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Ooooh, that is neat!
Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
Way to go!
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Whoa... who are the Annie-kind? Posted by narrativium (Member # 3230) on :
>_> <_<
Posted by Annie-kind #1 (Member # 7497) on :
Here! Over here! Posted by Annie-kind #2 (Member # 7498) on :
Hey, dude. You dropped this. Posted by Annie-kind #5 (Member # 7501) on :
(It's his AnniePants. I think he's going to macrame them into a headdress.)
Cool on the gallery, O Miss Annie. Posted by narrativium (Member # 3230) on :
Mwa-hahahahaha! It begins!
Posted by Annie-kind #4 (Member # 7500) on :
No, no, no. It is going to be a boat. There is a keel.
A leaky boat, likely.
Posted by Annie-kind #2 (Member # 7498) on :
Well, I'm leaping. In a giant way, too. I don't see the rest of you guys leaping yet. Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :

I've got a cute little stripe on my head. Posted by narrativium (Member # 3230) on :
That one's defective! Send it back.
Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :
Congratulations.
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
Yay! Very cool Annie!
And as an added bonus, I now have Mussorgsky's Pictures At an Exhibition running through my mind instead of that godawful Burger King commercial version of Big Rock Candy Mountain. I am forever in your debt.

Well, let's just say that it's substantial enough that Lewis and Clark stopped and had lunch here. Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
You make me so proud. <--In a good way
Hobbes Posted by narrativium (Member # 3230) on :
So (now that I've done a thorough job of causing chaos in this thread), do we get to see the pictures being exhibited, or do we actually have to come to Montana? Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
I have to pick which ones I want to show. Perhaps I'll upload them tonight and have y'all help. Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
What kind of images are you talking about Annie? Are these like paintings, drawings, or actual photographs?
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Some paintings - mostly digital illustrations and doctored photos.
Posted by Book (Member # 5500) on :
Yeah, upload them soon and we'll check 'em out.
On a totally random subject, does anyone else here think that The Great Gates of Kiev would make a great score for a scene in a movie in which the Red Army lays siege to a German city in World War II?
Random? Yes. Highjacking? We'll see. Pointless? You bet your bottom dollar, missy.
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
OK, I've uploaded what I have on my computer now, which is most of my stuff. I do have some paintings and monotype prints that I have yet to photograph, but I'm pretty sure those are among my better stuff. My main problem is not being cohesive enough. I have the makings of four or five separate shows, but I don't know how to fit them together.
That's all I've got in there so far.
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Oh, and twenty points to the first person who can spot Sophie Davidson.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
I don't spot you on AIM.
Hobbes Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
That's 'cause I have to leave 5 minutes ago.

Hobbes Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
How many pieces do you need for the show?
Small show:
Space Needle Bananas Montana State Self-Portrait Bookplate Backworld
Doesn't exactly show your range, but the pieces work harmoniously with each other, I think.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Sophia in the upper left corner of Apricots.
Lovely shots!
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
She's in the apricots, I think slightly right of center, closest to the front. (darn! in the hour I was AFK without posting this, CT has guessed -- and I was wrong anyway )
Speaking of which, I love the apricots. (Although if that's your idea of "slightly altered," I am never sending you produce-shopping! )
My other favorites are Space Needle, the stamps, the family tree, and the bookplate.
Congrats! Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Very nice, CT. Most of the other apricots are my siblings.
And I get to have 12 - 20 pieces.
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
I think your Andy Worhal Darth Vader should be part of the bunch....(I loved that one!)
I also dig the Space Needle, the mountains, the stamps, hawaii, your french scarf, morocco, and the stove. All very cool.
And I think this is awesome for you Annie! Way to go! Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :
Some questions:
1. Will they be for sale? 2. What are the dimensions of the painting Backworld? 3. Do you have a bigger photo of that painting? 4. If it's for sale, how much?
One of your pieces is my favorite. Can you tell which one? Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
Wow, Annie. That's some awesome artwork!
I really like "Mission Mountains". I have a thing for cool landscapes.
(edit: I just realised how many artists/photographers there are on hatrack...)

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
Congratulations! And I agree with Karl - Backworld is great. (Don't worry, I won't bid against you.)
Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
My vote:
Space Needle Apricots Bananas Spotted Peppers Sci-Fi Stamps Family Tree Self Portrait Bookplate Backworld
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
I'm glad you like Backworld. It's always been my favorite, but was rejected from the juried show I entered it in. I had it hanging in my house for over a year before my roommate said... "Whoa. The world is backwards!"
And yes, they'll all be for sale (after the show) and its dimensions are 24" x 30". I'll work on getting a better picture for you. Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Eruve, if you like, I'll send you a wallpaper-sized version of Mission Mountains for your desktop. It works really well that way.
It's a picture taken on the Salish-Kootenai reservation, a place that I feel very strongly about. It's one of the few occasions that the indians got the best land around, and that's sort of bittersweet to me. Of course, these days, the white population on the res is high enough that you wouldn't know it's a sovereign nation.
Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :
The dimensions sound good. I have several places in my house that might work well. Do send me a larger photo, if you can, and let me know what price you are asking. My email is in my profile.
Posted by Christy (Member # 4397) on :
Yaay for Sophie! She has such a distinctive chin/face shape.
My favorites: Apricots Bananas spotted peppers family tree MSU self-portrait backworld Morocco travel poster
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
Congratulations, Annie!
BTW, I now have the "Promenade" in my head, thanks to this thread's title. Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet, Karl - my computer time has been a little touch-and-go. I think I'll be able to take some photos tonight and email them to you tomorrow when I'm back in the office.
And thanks, Christy and Megan.
I appreciate the input from everyone - I just found a large-format printer in New Jersey that does large format archival prints for ridiculously low prices - around here they can push $60 each, and they're offering 18" by 24" for $13. Now I'm getting a bit more hopeful about being able to get all of these done in time, and I'm picking which ones will be going in. Hmmm.... choices, choices.
(edit: Christy ≠ Sara)

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Ok... Karl should have an email from me.
I found a printer online that will do 18 x 24 poster prints very very reasonably (with archival inks!), so I decided to do fewer pieces, but bigger.
I made two more posters along the lines of Headscarf, making a triptych of propaganda in French . I also had Apricots, Bananas, and Striped Peppers printed at 18x24, and will make them a series along with a painting I have (no pictures on line yet) that looks like a stoplight from far away but is a tomato, lemon, and green pepper. Then, I'll include Backworld, MSU and Hawaii 5000 and a monotype tetratych (I just made that word up) series I did of St. Corentin cathedral.
I still have to figure out how to frame (or mat) all of these with my very limited resources, but I'm very very excited about it all)
Thanks everyone for your input!

I'm so proud of you Annie! If I knew my neighbors I'd probably run out and tell them.
Hobbes Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Hmm... I just went and peeked inside the place and it looks like there's more space than I was imagining. Perhaps I'll have to do 8x10s of some of the photos. Or maybe I should dig through my old printmaking portfolio.
