Paris Trip

Mandy, Powerhouse Animation Art Director: Sam Deats, and Powerhouse Animator and Sam's brother: Adam; went to Paris to see Stephen Silver's show at the Gallery Arludik.

I had visited the Arludik in 2008 and helped connect Stephen and Dianne to get the ball rolling.  If you don't know Stephen's work, we connected while working with Kevin Smith's Clerks property but he is also known for his work on Kim Possible, Danny Phantom and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.  He is a super guy and his work is fantastic.  He also helped me with a Captain Capitalism redesign a while back.

Stephen ended up sketching caricatures of visitors to gallery.

We got to hang out with Stephen's family including is wife Heidi.  

Stephen had some really cool pieces in the show including this boxing painting that I coveted.

We ended up getting this piece which was featured on the poster for the show.

The gallery opening included work by artist Scott Campbell, with Adam, Sam and I.  His work is really genius and you should check it out.

Here is Stephen with the Gallery director Diane and a gentleman who purchased one of Stephen's pieces.

We also got to explore Paris with the Deats brothers and I hope they came home inspired by the trip.  This is Sam with a store that bears his name.

Hopefully everyone had a good time and isn't too jet-lagged.  See you soon.
