The Strange Art of BaM! (Bruce Bachelder and Mike Rende)
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.
Bruce has signed up for the Ultimate Painting match to be held at Side Street Studio Arts on Friday, March 13 at 7:00pm. It should be a exciting night! Come cheer him on and vote for him too!

Friend of Dangerous Brains and excellent artist Rich Koslowski was recently targeted by a fraudulent DMCA Takedown notice. This is when someone contacts your web host claiming that the content on your site violates their copyright and demands that the host remove the pages.
The horrible thing in this case is that the person filing the claim against Rich was someone who Rich had to sue years ago for violation of his own copyright. Rich won in court and the guy apparently wasn’t happy that Rich’s page talking about the court case gets such high search engine placement. So this jerk send a takedown notice against Rich.
Rich needed to defend his claim and send in supporting evidence that his content was not in violation. He won, again, of course.
Laws like the DMCA are there to help protect artists. It’s such a shame when someone violates them the way this jerk did.
