We're about to have a party, and EVERYONE'S invited!

As I'm sure you all know, NUTTALL ART STUDIO is celebrating its 3 year anniversary with a celebration Saturday, April 20th from 1-5pm at Nuttall Art Studio in downtown West Branch, Michigan. Oh, and you are invited. With every anniversary, I offer free food and drinks, as well as the $1 raffle. I raffle off about three pieces of artwork specially made for the anniversary. Every person who buys a raffle ticket (did I mention it's only for $1?) also gets a free cartoon sketch, as I know the deep burn one feels when one spends money in hopes of winning something, only to walk away empty-handed. So, even if you DON'T win the raffle, you still get a drawing. We will also have LIVE music for the event, as local musician/writer/city councilman Tim Schaiberger will be performing. This here oil painting is ONE of the pieces of artwork being raffled off- So, with the exception of the $1 raffle, it's ALL FREE, and you're than welcome to bring as many guests as you'd like, and stay as long as you wish (even if only for 5 minutes)!!

One Day Only for The Duke!


If you come into the studio, Nuttall Art Studio, on Saturday, August 10th, you can get this 24x36 charcoal drawing of John Wayne for only $150!! This size drawing is usually $432. This is a ONE DAY ONLY special!! Drawn from the film "The Shootist", which was John Wayne's last film, and my favorite of his movies.


Also, this charcoal drawing, an 18x24 (runs $216) of Eric Clapton, is only $100! Tell yer friends 'n' neighbors!

Dress Up and Play!

As some of you may already know, I've organized an event in downtown West Branch, CosPlay (short for "costume play"). Basically, you dress up as your favorite cartoon, video game, super hero, movie, sci-fi, fantasy character. Pose for photos, interact with other fans of the genre. It's for ALL ages. If you've always wanted to dress as Frodo from Lord of the Rings, or Princess Leia from Star Wars, now's your chance! I'm hoping to organize a costume contest and I might do free cartoon/comic book sketches for a half hour, or maybe $1 a drawing. There will be some vendors selling toys and comics. It'll be fun. It's also the first weekend of "The Amazing Spider-Man" movie in theaters. So you can grab a flick while in town!
This takes place Saturday, July 7th from 4-7pm. If you want to participate in the costume contest, there'll be a table to sign up.
This is all FREE, by the way. Except vendors' products, of course. Here's an example of CosPlay:


Maybe there can be some re-enacted battles, like Star Wars vs. Star Trek, X-Men vs. Avengers. Who knows? And I'm hoping to make this an annual event.

Youth Cartooning Workshop by ME!!

I know it's short notice, but I'm doing a workshop for children on how to draw cartoons this Saturday, July 16th. There are 2 age groups and 2 times for the groups- 1-3 for ages 9-17 and 3:30-4:30 for ages 8 and under. It will be at Nuttall Art Studio in Downtown West Branch and all the kids need to bring is a pencil and eraser each, and some crayons. It's $7 per kid.
They'll learn how to draw starting with simple shapes, and finishing with an established cartoon character (like Bugs Bunny, Garfield, etc)
Tell yer friends and neighbors!

About to throw a party, and everyone's invited (except THAT guy!)

Alright, cats 'n' kittens!
April 3rd marks the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of NUTTALL ART STUDIO!!! TO celebrate, I'm hosting a "party" on Saturday, April 16th, 2011 from 4pm-8pm at the studio. There'll be free food, drinks (no alcohol), $2 raffle of specially made artwork and other stuff!
Now, this event DOES take place the same night as Downtown West Branch's Art & Wine Walk (from 5-9), where local artists display their work in downtown businesses (the businesses actually stay open PAST 5 that day!), and those businesses have free wine tasting and food. So, there's plenty to do in the area in those 5 hours! Parking for the studio is down N. 3rd St. across from Morse Clark Furniture. Hope to see you there!
