The Strange Art of BaM! (Bruce Bachelder and Mike Rende)
If you are in the Elgin area on Friday 8/7/2015, please stop by Side Street Studio Arts to see their annual printmaking show Re:Pop. This year, Bruce and I put down our paintbrushes and picked up our linocut blades and made a few pieces.
It’s always an interesting show.

WHAT IS ULTIMATE PAINTING?
Ultimate Painting (UP) is a live event series celebrating artistic talent. Painters create their best work in only 20 minutes, across 3 rounds, while the audience votes to choose the winner. Music plays, drinks rise, and audiences witness paintings emerge from the minds of their favorite artists. Winners advance, and Art Stars are born!
Last night Bruce won Ultimate Painting #27 held at Side Street Studio Arts in Elgin. He will go on to the city finals held in the Summer…and hopefully farther.
Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer him on.
We will be displaying a few new pieces at Side Street Studio Art’s two year birthday celebration show on Friday March 6, 2015..
