The Tom Waits Project

I will be doing a two part exhibit starting in August at Michelle’s coffee in Sioux Falls for the Wait’s themed exhibit. I still am finalizing the second part of the exhibit, which will be out of state, and bring those details to you when I get them.

The above two paintings have been sold to a private collection and will not appear in the themed exhibit (Jockey Full of Bourbon, Christmas Card from a Hooker in MPLS)

Could have seen this coming a mile away

When cops setup stupid entrapment stings, it just ends up costing taxpayers in legal fees. I’m all for them catching child predators, but the investigative unit should concentrate on ACTUAL complaints from parents, not creating crime. The Sioux Falls PD has a history creating crime. I remember a few years back an undercover cop was trying to sell fake dope to some kids in a Shopko parking lot. You know, for a department that claims to be understaffed, they sure have plenty of time and staff working on being 13 year old sex starved girls. Dumb. 

South Dacola Art club w/Brady Lynch (part 2)

Brady Lynch is an artist, born and raised in Sioux Falls.  Although he studied art in college almost a decade ago, he has only recently begun to set aside ample bits of time to create his acrylic, oversized, textured paintings.  His work is usually done impulsively while sitting at his downtown studio that overlooks a railroad, aged buildings and the 10th Street Bridge (all of which he has included in his work).  For instance, his piece titled “Saturday” was done on a Saturday when he wasn’t feeling overly creative and figured he’d just paint how he felt…numb and jaded.  “15 Red Roosters” was painted while listening to Big Mama Thornton’s version of “Little Red Rooster”.  So, all of his paintings have a story, but it may be as simple as his mood that day. 
 
He will soon have a website dedicated to his artwork, but until then, you can contact him at either artbybrady@gmail.com or 605-941-4201 if you are interested in displaying his work at a place of business or regarding prices and availability of his paintings.  Thank you.
