Introducing: Joe Sziranko

I met Joe when we both had some art in a gallery in downtown Northampton. He is a friendly and generous person, and very creative. He likes to experiment with all types of paint and materials, so his work has a lot of variety in it. Just seeing a few pictures of it doesn't do it justice. If you have a chance, go see his studio on an open studio night in the Paragon arts building in Easthampton.

Life is an illusion.
Man, I gotta pay the car bill!
Get that illusion off in the mail.

Tonya likes to get plain glasswares from thrift shops, and spruce them up with her painting. I really like the results.

"Downtown Vase"

"Men Like Pink"

Introducing Tonya Dixon

I met Tonya through a friend, and saw her on and off in town for many years. But lately have gotten to know here better, and discover that she has tons of creative projects that she is always doing and planning to do, so I decided to feature some of them here.

Introducing: Mark Wilson

From me:

I have a good friend Bob, and he has an older brother Mark who I know, who makes incredible lighted sculptures (think very fancy art lamps) and digital art. Bob is always telling me about things his older brother has made, including intricate board games as well fixed up old computers.

From his website:

Born in the United States, and trying to escape the asylum ever since.
Influenced by the world I have lived in as well as the Masters of the past. My Sculpted works are heavily influenced by Steam Punk, as well as the Edwardian and Victorians eras. My digital work is especially influenced by the works of Francisco de Goya and Diego Velázquez. My favorite real world medium for painting is Egg Tempera, which I endeavor to replicate in the digital medium.
