| Two examples of Natiello's non-pumpkin work |
|
My my, you Blaze Blog readers have been very active with comments of late. Must be getting close to October! Several have asked about the artists involved in the event, Michael Natiello (Blaze creative director) in particular, and whether the artists will be exhibiting work at the event. Well, the event itself is a large-scale work in and of itself, so I think that counts. For those of you who might be curious about the non-pumpkin mediums Michael works in, I've got two cool examples to share, both of a theme, it seems. At left is "Wheel of Fortune" and on the right is "Untitled." Let Michael know what you think. Post your comments here. I'm pretty sure he reads this.

Hey Mr. Frankenblazer I'll here on the 20th too and again on the 27th. Do people dress up in halloween garb for this event?
Far out!

These are really far out and very different! Makes me wonder what some of the other artists are into. This event was so large last year it was obvious it took many talented people to put it together. You people rock! I'm in awe. Looking forward to this year.

I have a chrome bumper with the unique "cheese-grater" grill from a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda. I wonder if Mr. N. could work his magic and turn it into a masterpiece? I'll see you on the 20th. Look for my big pumpkin hat with the flashing orange lights.

For those of you who asked and are interested in seeing more of my work in person:
yes, there will be some of my original artwork to see and to purchase in the shop during Blaze--these are the limited edition prints the blaze blogger spoke of. For additional viewing pleasure please check out my show at the Black Cow Coffee Company (on Maple Avenue in Croton) also during the month of October-- for info on the Black Cow, directions and hours: http://www.blackcow.com/ enjoy!

Dr. Frankenblaze, I sure would be interested in meeting you and I never pass up an opportunity to create art from found objects--please look me up on the 20th when you're in town.
The tin can piece posted on the blog here is part of a body of work I call "garbage mandalas"...that one in particular is from a series called Mangia Mandalas--a homage to my Italian heritage and to DaVinci. The cans once held tomato puree and paste. The other piece that blaze blogger has posted is currently on display in Garrison at an outdoor sculpture exhibit called "The Saunders Farm Project", put on by Collaborative Concepts -- another great Hudson Valley non-profit arts organizaton with which I'm closely affiliated. Check out the blog for the show and then see it in person: http://www.collaborativeconcepts2007.blogspot.com/ Tin Can Art

I am an avid collector of tin can art. The "untitled" work is amazing and Mr. Natello is truly a master. One of the walls in my garage is completely constructed of tin cans. This piece would really be a great addition to my collection. Does Mr. Natello do commission work? I have about 346 rusty cans in my utility shed that are just waiting to become art.
See ya at the pumpkin blaze on October 20. Dr. FB from the Historic Village of Horseheads, NY, gateway to the Finger Lakes. Works of art

These are great! I'd love to see these works of art in person. Will they be on exhibit in the big pumpkin tent?
eGG Sooooo Cooool! written by BooWho, September 24, 2007 @ 07:17 PM
I must say those are mighty fine examples, round like most pumpkins! Were those empty cans in the "untitled/unlabled" piece once filled with pumpkin pie filling?
