A Picture Perfect Sentry And Kenny's Corner in Ed Mell's Studio

 August 16, 2023

Lots of artwork on the drawing board today. Fortunately for me, I have a vigilant watchdog who parks himself under the desk in case anyone thinks it might be a good idea to poach a freebee, or two.

A Return to The Mell-Bell Art Studio

Drove into the Beast this morning to attend a meeting at the old Oak St. Mell-Bell Art Studio space. Here's the man himself in front of a wonderful new art print.

"High Desert Maverick"

Kenny's Corner

This photo was taken in the front part of the studio near a spot I call Kenny's Corner. That would be Kenny Richardson with his framed Triple B scratchboards lining up nicely on the wall behind him. That's Edmundo on the right. Dang that Ken kid has good taste in art. Here's a close up on those Tres Vaqueros.

"Tres Vaqueros"

  That is a classic Michael Collier frame which gives everything a two-centuries-old kind of patina.

   We need to talk about Nate Bargatze! His special "Hello World" was filmed at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix last September. Loved this: “I’m the firstborn. We show up, our parents are not ready. They don’t have any money. The youngest just show up and their parents are trillionaires. It’s like, What’s an ‘upstairs’? That’s like a home on top of a home!”
