SpaceBee!

SpaceBee goes live! Friends, now that I have SpaceBee trademarked, I'm working on a number of items that I hope to have ready for the holiday season. First up, I am unveiling 2 limited series paintings based on the piece I submitted to Secret ArtWorks. You have your choice of a neon pink and orange version or a blue/...green/neon pink variant. These are original 5"x7" paintings on canvas boards and are available for $40 unframed or $55 framed. Please email me at atelier.romanos@gmail.com to place an order.

Secret ArtWorks 2009 - Sale!

As you know, I recently participated in the Secret ArtWorks charity event to support arts projects around Cincinnati for kids.  2009 was a record year for the ArtWorks foundation, which is awesome news!  Here's a recap of Secret ArtWorks by the numbers:

• 1474 Secret Works of Art submitted by 536 participating artists
• 700+ vouchers sold 
• 900 guests in attendance
• $50,000 raised for ArtWorks programs!

Now even though they had such great turnout, there are a number of pieces that went unsold, so they've decided to do a special sale on Friday and Saturday 12/18&19 to sell the remaining work.  It's a great deal, $35 for 1 or $60 for 2, so I recommend you check it out.  I know I will!  Details are in the picture below and you can see what pieces are still available here.

DR interviewed on Strategic Aesthetics

I was recently interviewed by fellow artist and co-worker, Mike Roller, on his blog Strategic Aesthetics. Mike is a talented artist and designer and has been steadily growing his following on his blog through quality content, valid point of view and great writing. The interview was posted today, so feel free to check it out here! Thanks Mike for including me!

Secret ArtWorks 2009 - Revealed!

Thanks to all that came out to the Secret ArtWorks event last Friday. It was a smashing success, with a record number of participating artists and attendees. Nice to see in this economy that people will still come out to support the arts. I was happy to run into some friends and fellow artists at the event and it's always cool to try to figure out who did what! Though with over 1000 pieces this year, that took some time. Here are a few pictures from the show and of the 3 pieces I submitted.

Secret ArtWorks 2009

Every year Cincinnati's Artworks foundation does a cool charity event where they invite participating artists to create and anonymously donate small (5"x7") pieces to be sold to benefit Artworks. This year I have subitted 3 pieces, though I cant show you or else it wouldn't be much of a secret! The opening night is on Friday November 20th and the admission is $100 per person, but with each entry you get 1 piece of your choice to take home! I'll be there and hope to see you too! More details on the event can be found here.

New Piece 10/4/09

I just finished a new piece that I thought I'd post. It's collage and painting (acrylic and spray) on a 48" x 52" wood panel I re-purposed from my office. Many of the artifacts I incorporated into this piece were from my trip to Berlin this summer, which inspired me more than I could have imagined. While you can get a decent impression on the overall appearance of this piece, much of the detail is only really appreciated in person.
