Upcoming Art Auction/ Show in Atlanta

mitch — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 09:02:38 +0000

This past fall I submitted designs for the upcoming Georgia Aquarium (World’s Largest) Dolphin Parade, designed to raise funds for new Dolphin Facility/ Tank/ habitat at the Aquarium. I am very honored to have my design selected by Air Tran Airlines! I will be applying paint and a few 3D features to the surface. I hope you will look for the Dolphin Parade in the News, and see it when it moves across Atlanta. I’ll have some more photos posted soon! Thanks, Mitch

At the Studio ready for work!

My sketchbook is filling up again which means once again I have escaped an artists block which had been quite heavy. I am about to launch into several projects: Paintings, Stone, and Bronze…which is way over due! I will put my best efforts forward to uploading new photos, and maybe even a VIDEO I have been hoping to start soon! Now that I have “broken back into my website” I’ll do better about posting!

Thanks again to all the support we received with the Elephant Parade London 2010! It was a HUGE success!

The Elephant Parade London 2010 was a HUGE success for the Charity Elephant Family, who raised over 4Million British Pounds! WOW! That truly is amazing! My wife and I recently were in London for the Auction Event on June 30th, where the Auction raised over 1 Million that night! It was incredible! Our elephant “Utopia” was auctioned on July 4th, and the final bid was 9500 GBP which we are so thrilled to contribute to the charity! We are looking forward to hearing where “Utopia” is headed, and where “she” will live! I will be adding photos here on the website in a few days, please keep a look here often for updates! We also would like to thank everyone who helped us reach this goal of participating in London’s Largest Art Exhibit! We appreciate everyones encouragement, and praise while we worked towards the charity goal! Mitch

UTOPIA

Well the time has come for the fundraising portion of the Elephant Parade London 2010!

http://www.givinglots.co.uk/event/elephantparade161-180

Mine is # 177 : Utopia

This exhibit is in fact the LARGEST art exhibit in the history of London, and working towards a very good cause: Saving the Endangered Asian Elephant! Are you passionate about wildlife habitat, animal preservation, fan of elephants? If you are…please consider bidding on the Original “Utopia” ! Currently, “Utopia” is located along the Thames River, South Embankment, next to the London Eye! It will be there until the 22nd of June, when the entire herd will move to the Royal Chelsea Pensioners Hospital.

“Utopia” is my original design which is a continued development since 1992. Utopia is also an actual working maze, which starts at the tip of the trunk, works through the four legs, belly and up into one of the top “pointy” pyramids. (I’ll leave it to you to solve it) Hint: follow the line, not between the lines.

Do not hesitate to contact me at: ronin478@hotmail.com

Thank you! And happy Bidding! Mitch
