Time to fire up the grill...
foodstyling by Anne Fisher

Hardly worth the effort- From Seth's Blog

2010-05-30T15:31:00.001-05:00

In most fields, there's an awful lot of work put into the last ten percent of quality.
Getting your golf score from 77 to 70 is far more difficult than getting it from 120 to 113 or even from 84 to 77.
Answering the phone on the first ring costs twice as much as letting it go into the queue.
Making pastries the way they do at a fancy restaurant is a lot more work than making brownies at home.
Laying out the design of a page or a flyer so it looks like a pro did it takes about ten times as much work as merely using the template Microsoft builds in for free, and the message is almost the same...
Except it's not. Of course not. The message is not the same.
The last ten percent is the signal we look for, the way we communicate care and expertise and professionalism. If all you're doing is the standard amount, all you're going to get is the standard compensation. The hard part is the last ten percent, sure, or even the last one percent, but it's the hard part because everyone is busy doing the easy part already.
The secret is to seek out the work that most people believe isn't worth the effort. That's what you get paid for.

May First Friday @ Krzyz Photo

2010-04-29T13:49:00.015-05:00

Hey All,
Can you believe it's already time for May First Friday? Things have been hectic around here again (not complaining mind you). This month we'll have "FREEZE" by Erick Warner and Travis McElhany. It is the second showing of collaborative paintings between the two artists, working together they traded time on each piece exploring different techniques and approaches. The largely abstract pieces draw inspiration from both organic and man-made materials to unify color, texture and space. For each painting the end result is a unique blend of styles that challenge the senses and never reveals the same thing twice.

at Krzyz Studio

First Friday May 7th
5:30-9 pm One night only.

Hey all,
It's been a busy month at Krzyz Photo, sort of nice after the crazy winter we've had. I'd like to thanks all my commercial clients who make it possible for me to keep being able to allow artists to show on First Friday … you know who you are! This month we'll be showing the work of Steve Brisendine. To quote Steve,"My last formal art training was in seventh grade (not counting the short photography tutorial at yearbook camp before my senior year in high school). Last year, I got a case of 'Hmmm ...' as in, 'Hmmm, what would happen if I tried painting in only one color?' And so, the One Tube Project was born." Steve also wanted to let everyone know that 20 percent of proceeds will be donated to the Laundry Love Initiative also donation cans will available for quarters.

2010-03-06T12:22:00.001-06:00

Do you think print is dying?
No, I think it is EVOLVING. We have to stop thinking of photography in terms of Print and instead think if IMAGES in terms of ASSETS. Those assets can be still or moving and can be used across a variety of media.

Tammy Smith at Krzyz this month

2009-09-25T10:45:00.000-05:00

Stay tuned for all the October First Friday news but here's the info for our show.

WheelyWhirly

Tammy Smith

When Tammy Smith was laid off recently as a corporate art director, she decided her upcoming show of circus-themed art at Krzyz would provide a great opportunity to do some good. As a result, she has turned her Oct. 2 show, "Canned Good--A Debt Defying Display of Post-Employment Artistic Expression" (which she retooled and renamed after she lost her job), Twist of Fate-one example of the wire work that will be at the show into a benefit for Harvesters Food Network. Canned good donations, plus 10% of all sales, will be donated to the food network in hopes that it will help others who have also lost their jobs and are in need of assistance. While visiting the seaside town of Brighton, England, Tammy saw what was to become her inspiration-a steel frame shell from a carnival on a pier, left sitting in the water after vandals had set it on fire more than 30 years ago. Flocks of birds had made the steel shell their home and transformed it into a makeshift sanctuary. "Seeing the skeleton of this abandoned structure where people used to have fun took me back to images of Fairyland Park in south Kansas City when I was growing up. The park had closed long ago but they left the rollercoaster in place. Trees were growing through the rails of the track. That image was so haunting that it stuck with me for many years." Her sculptures of abandoned circuses and carnival rides have been described as "Tim Burton meets Dr. Seuss". She uses wire, tent canvas, and tissue paper for the structures and clay to fashion the birds that perch on them. This event "Canned Good—A Debt Defying Display of Post-Employment Artistic Expression" is on Friday, October 2 and will be for one night only.
The show will run from 7-9 pm.
In keeping with both the show title and the circus theme of Tammy's work, lemonade, popcorn and peanuts will be served at the show and people will be encouraged to leave a cash or canned donation to Harvesters in exchange.

Thanks again and stay tuned …

September First Friday at KRZYZ

2009-08-29T16:31:00.006-05:00

Hey all !
This month at Krzyz Studio we have new work by Jody Flaherty and Bill Olson. Jody on Jody "Music has been especially inspiring for me both personally and creatively over the past year. Using that inspiration, I have taken a different route with this show than in the past. The pieces in this show are my visual interpretation of songs and lyrics that have been meaningful to me from the summer of '08 through the present." The music that will be playing in the gallery are the songs my art is based on. In Bill's photographs like Bunny Nation Crisis you can "...share in their misery and lay your eyes upon other photographic offerings that include greenback flies and filthy old car parts. And maybe some blue skies." Come join us from 7-9 pm

Here's a photo I worked on with Anne Fisher (my favorite foodstylist). We wanted to add something new to our portfolios so we thought a little fish was in order. These scallops smelled as good as they look, the worst part of this shoot was the fact that I'm deathly allergic to 'em. I got to look but not eat!

OK I've been meaning to get this image up since May First Friday so here it is:

I got to shoot a series of Missouri Bank's clients for a series of billboards by Trozzolo Communications Group. The series of three sets of billboards featuring six customers on each side will be appearing through the summer on top of the future site of the bank's new location in the Crossroads. The new location designed by Helix Architecture + Design will be state of the art and "green". Another cool thing… after the bank's renovations are finished the billboards will feature art from local artists until the billboards come down (in a year or two?).

Monthly pic and November First Friday

2007-10-29T16:10:00.000-05:00

I've decided (after hearing a great presentation by Mark O'Renick of Salva O'Renick ) I'm going to get going on this blog. Just for grins I'll try to post my monthly promos and the first Friday newsletter info that pertains directly to what ever we're doing for the month, whether it's showing someone like Steve's work or getting a chance to see art or just taking in the shows at Grinders' concerts.
Here's the image that went out with this month's promo for still life:
So…
Did you miss us last month? Sorry the time got away from us and we ended taking the month off and actually got to walk around and enjoy the art in October. But we're back at it in November with photographer Steve Wilson. His show entitled "Object, Recent Wet Plate Collodion work". The wet plate collodion process dates to the 1850's and was one of the first photographic processes, and was perfected by Frederick Scott Archer.The result is a one of a kind image
