Just for the die-hards

First new image of 2012 is now posted to the home page at www.sirinsky.com. I'm pretty stoked about it - and hope this will be indicative of the rest of the year. Just announcing it here for you ultra-blog fans...full announcement with this and other things to come in the next several days.

Enjoy!

2012- Pedal to the Metal

Hi everyone:

A healthy and happy new year to all! I hope everyone has enjoyed their holiday and some much needed time off. My next day off at this point isn't until April - which is a LONG time from now. Gonna need some art to get me through!

I've deemed 2012 as the "year of the art" - and plan to put the pedal to the medal in a lot of areas. New work, exhibitions, promotions and a variety of other tidbits will all be coming your way. If you like what you see and read on the blog (or have any suggestions), please do comment - I read them and take them all seriously. Well, almost all of them...

Please also refer your colleagues, friends - even your enemies - to the blog and to my website to check out my work. Again, they can link to the blog directly from the site - so you guys really have no excuse. This is my annual plea for everyone to spread the word. Thanks in advance.

Enough of the pledge drive - I do have some concrete art news to deliver. One of my pieces was recently selected for the "Winter" exhibition at A Smith Gallery in Johnston City, Texas. Google Maps tells me it's not terribly far from Austin - so if any of you are heading that way in January to escape the cold - drop on by! The info is:

A Smith Gallery

105 N. Nugent Ave.

Johnson City, TX

Hours: 11-6 pm Fri and Sat, 11-3pm on Sunday

Exhibition Dates: 1/6/2012-2/12/2012

Reception: 1/28/2012, 4-7pm

I feel pretty good about being included in this - about 500 pieces were submitted internationally, and they only accepted about 50. Great looking group of work overall - you can see all of the work here: https://asmithgallery.com/Winter_Accepted_Images.php

Funny thing is - the piece they're showing is the same image I exhibited at The Lunch Box Gallery in Miami a few months back. So, the piece has gone from Chicago, to Miami, back to Chicago, and then to TX. This little guy has logged a lot of miles over the past few months! For a refresher, the image is here - give him some love:

The juror for the show only selected 1 image per artist, which is kinda nice. Should be a good one folks.

In other art news, I just got back a really good looking roll of film - which is surprising since when I was rewinding it, my kids turned on the lights in an adjacent room....and I was sure the film had been exposed. Seems as though I lucked out. If only those old Bakelite cameras had a rewind mechanism!

I tried doing some printing last night, but my printer has not been cooperating. Looks like I'll need to bring the old one out of retirement (thankfully I still have it) but I need to install some new print drivers before I can move forward. Hopefully this week I'll have some new work to show.

That's all for now. Remember, tell your friends, and have their friends tell their friends! Everyone's support is going to mean a lot in the coming year.

Stay warm and stay tuned!
