Red Event
On February 12, Dean was asked to present his art work at the Dress Red Luncheon held at The Pine Barn Inn. He featured 4, 20″ x 30″ photographs printed on metallic paper and mounted for display, all were within the “red” theme.
Both Dean and I put a lot of thought, time and effort into these photos; shopping for props, working on lighting techniques, making blood. We were very proud of them (as we should be). After selecting the correct printing company and viewing the test prints, we sent out our order only to receive them a few days ahead of schedule -ugh, down to the wire! We were completely happy with what our finished product was and were so very excited to show our work to the patrons of the “Red” event. Full well knowing that our art wasn’t necessarily what people expect to see at a benefit luncheon, we prepared to be booted from the event. We had emailed some people who were in the area to get a fan base and were successful, which was great!
With all this said, I am somewhat delighted to relay to you that one lady who helped put the event together was very vocal about our art being inappropriate for the event! I was so proud upon hearing this! Our images are all featured below and as you will see, they all contain similar ideas but there is no outward idea, just simple hints for the viewer’s enjoyment. I also have checked the event’s website to see if they have any PR for us to pump out to our fans. Other than the blog listing us as a featured artist, there is no image of our work or mention of our contribution for the event. Dean always wants the viewers’ of his work to have a reaction, mission accomplished! And a HUGE Thank You to our models Tim Coyne, Sadie May Dorman, Sarah Irene Hamill and Brittany Kanour, you were all wonderful to work with. Cheers! Click on the images to enlarge.
