Printmaking

Joshua is taking a printmaking class at the Des Moines Art Center.  Here is the first in a series of prints that he will be making.  These prints will be available at Iron Heart Tattoo in Des Moines. I am also planning on printing these designs on some apparel.

Events in Des Moines

This is a great week to enjoy some art in Des Moines.  The Des Moines Art Festival starts this Friday and goes through Sunday.  When you're at the festival stop into The Instinct Gallery on Locust and check out the munny toy that Joshua designed as well as some other amazing artwork. Also stop into Vitae and look at the artwork from our Female Trouble show, featuring 7 talented ladies and purchase some apparel from local designers.  Acanthus has some fun tank tops and dresses.

 

A couple of other events that you don't want to miss... 80/35 music festival on July 3rd and 4th, where Art Noir and Vitae will have booths, and St. Vitus and the Taxi Dancers will be performing! On July 11th the Vitae ladies and some friends will be the designers in a pin-up themed show titled Emergence at the Des Moines Social Club.

Acanthus dress from Femme Fatale

Here is the first dress made by Acanthus Apparel. It was displayed at the Femme Fatale show at the Instinct Gallery. Check the Acanthus myspace, www.myspace.com/acanthusapparel, soon for more pics. I will also have dresses for sale at Vitae towards the end of April.
