Scheduling and Shopping

Guess what? A few of the monsters are at the Grand Canyon this week with one of our friends for a photoshoot! We'll post plenty of photos upon their return, but I thought you might want to see them before they left:

Here is a sneak peek of the critters' 2012 schedule, so you can start planning when/where to stop by and visit us this year:

Plotting and Planning for 2011

It will be a full year of exciting events for the Sculptures By Design Art Studio and its artists! At our meeting last Saturday, it was decided that the first show of 2011 @ CityCentre will be held on Thursday, 3 February 2011 (from 6-9:30 pm), to celebrate the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Rabbit. There will be a western-themed show in March (to coincide with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo), and the Art of Wine series will continue at the Hotel Sorella the last Wednesday of each month. I will be curating my first show this year in July, showcasing some of the most talented custom vinyl toy artists in the United States as well as a few of the most amazing Houston-area street artists. Stay tuned for more info!
