I went to the Art Not Ads gallery opening on Friday night. It was much more then I expected. It was held at Studio Chambers, a large photo studio on Edgewood that was a garage decades ago. There were probably 150 or more people there when we arrived. The studio was packed with paintings, sculpture, illustration and mixed media from some awesome local designers, advertising execs, photographers and illustrators. I was so impressed that people in the professional design community find time to continue and grow in mediums distinct from their everyday, career related creativity. It is encouraging to see that it can be done and challenging to think that I should be sketching and painting more. Artists of mention: Ed Young, from Young and Martin Design and Tim Smith of BreenSmith Creative Advertising. The show was full of free food and beverage and a donation supported the Grady High School arts program. It was awesome.
