WANTED!
ARTIST ROMAN
"OBLIO" BORALDI FOR
CRIMES AGAINST NATURE & THE STATE
Have you seen this man?
Boraldi's last known whereabouts were the South suburbs of Chicago.
Allegedly reputed to still be painting, Admiral Krozabeeep has
filed |
|
charges in ThirdStone court
to bring this miscreant to justice. if you know where Boraldi's
hiding out, email
Krozabeeep. Please
do not attempt to apprehend; he may be armed and legged. Shown
above in a photo taken by the Admiral in 1975 (wearing his trademark
garb of a pink chiffon party dress, with a Mr. Ed puppet peeping
out of the bodice & a hard hat) be advised that his appearance
may be somewhat different today. Thank you! |

THE PORTRAIT STUDIO PROJECT! |
Beginning immediately,
ThirdStone is offerring portrait services. If, when you think
of portraits, you think of boring, yikes-boyo-howdy, are you
in for a surprise. Of course, those of you who know ThirdStone,
would never expect the mediocre or the normal. Three of our astoundifying
artists have cooked up a project that'll blow your doors off.
"
Ummm...Yes, Ma'am, would you like that portrait in 2D or 3D?
Oil painting, chalk pastel, pencil, soft pastel, clay or environmental
photo portrait? would you like fries with that?"
First
to go to bat is ThirdStone ArtistPenny Alexander(that's her
self-portrait above). Aside from her other artistic endeavours
that have been such a hit here, Penny is the very best portrait
artist I've ever seen. Amazing likenesses that truly capture
the person behind the face are rendered as oil paintings, pastel
(chalk or oil) or pencil drawings. Stay tuned to see samples
soon.
Sculptor Deb
Van Deusen is producing portraits as truly wonderful clay sculptures.
We'll have some of these on this page soon for you to see.
Photographer
Jim Rasmusson specializes in what he refers to as "Environmental
portraiture". He shoots folks as they work or live or doing
something they love to do, thereby capturing the essence of the
subject and their spirit at work or play.
Stay tuned
for lots of samples and more info on this. If you'd like a portrait
of yourself or of someone you know, contact Bruce for details. Portraits
can be produced from photo images or live sittings. They're amazing
gifts and surprisingly affordable and you won't find anyting
like them anywhere...

ADMIRAL PLUTO'S
FU-FABU EMPORIUM TO OPEN SOON!
"Oh, Shit
!!"
said the
ostrich |
|
Last Fall's windstorm
sure threw a spanner into the works of the grand opening of ADMIRAL
PLUTO'S FU-FABU EMPORIOUM OF TWISTED ECLECTICA. Damn!
That's right; the long-awaited opening of the soon to be legendary
ThirdStone junk store was postponed yet again. Seems mother Nature's
rather "vigorous" (like, 90 MPH!) winds were just too
much for the structure. Plans are in the works to get the greenhouse
building which houses the Admiral's famous collection, back in
shape soon. stay tuned for more info IT'LL OPEN THIS SPRING AT LAST!!!! |
