Blaine Fontana (blainefontana) — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 18:48:32 -0800

For those of you who are curious, these pieces require about 6 different medias to achieve this look on watercolor paper. This is also available as a limited edition/signed giclée print. $100/edition of 50 See below… http://thefontanastudios.com/giclee-prints/i-dream-of-patience-vol-2

I Dream Of "Improbability"

Blaine Fontana (blainefontana) — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:19:31 -0800

A new addition to the “Dream Of” series. This has been on the burner for years. I had always wanted to paint an ice cream truck. This just happened to fit naturally with the series and adding the very unlikely scenario of a burning ice cream truck was exciting to see. This is also available as a limited edition/signed giclée print. $100/edition of 50 See below… http://thefontanastudios.com/giclee-prints/i-dream-of-improbability

Arbor Collective Collaboration Installation

Blaine Fontana (blainefontana) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 11:53:22 -0800

The Arbor Collective Exhibition “Premium Camping At No Charge” A Collaboration Installation with Zach Johnsen The Arbor Collective approached us 6 months ago asking if we were interested in creating a commissioned show at the Evo gallery in Seattle. Collaborating with Arbor, we echoed the company’s rooted practice using sustainable materials for all their products. The entire show is comprised of all reclaimed, recycled, or repurposed wood/media, only 5 sheets of plywood were bought to create this highly involved, rich and detailed dreamy “Camp Fire” scene. A lot of the wood were leftovers from the TEDx install, and a couple more donations from my studio neighbors Orange. Zach and I displayed 2 new collaborative paintings along with our earlier one we did a year ago. More than half of the installation was available, making it over 60 purchasable items. November 4th 2011 Evo Times Infinity Gallery 122 NW 36th Ave St., Seattle WA 98107
