Lewis Acrylics - Fine Art & Illustration

News

Lewis Acrylics is featured on the Cover of OVS Magazine this quarter! There is also an interview with me that I am quite excited about. I'm working hard on the editors of the journal to let me interview the next artist as well, since it is Mel Kadel, who is just all around awesome! Wish me luck folks.

Blue Bottle Gallery and Boutique was sold this Spring, because the owners are having a baby. Congratulations to Andrea and Matthew. This would make me sad, however, Jessie has taken over with her new line of Cake Spy Merchandise, and is doing a wonderful job running the gallery as the Cake Spy Shop, and I got to keep my show! So that was mailed out this morning & will be running for the month of September! The title is Tweet Tweet, My Lovely and I am very excited to bring you some new, small, and nicely priced works for late summer. You can see a preview of some of the pieces in that show on my flickr account, here. I will also be posting a link to the Cake Spy online shop once we have the pieces up and saleable online! Check back soon.

I have been showing with Lunar Boy Gallery again this year, and I am so excited. Deborah Starr is just a brilliant gallery owner to work with, and I adore the town of Astoria, OR. You can catch my newest piece, "Oh Yeah" for the Beer Show here. I will also have two upcoming pieces in the Day of the Dead show in late October and early November.

Dadaist Projects



As many of you know, I am currently in graduate school at MECA. A couple of my classmates, some friends from Twitter, and a few local Portland residents and I are amassing a dadaist journal in the tradition of Tristan Tzarra and the his fellow dadaists. If anyone would like to be involved, be sure to email me. If you don't make it in for the first one, I intend to be making more than one.

The Happy Project



This fall will mark the beginning of a new project for Mike Lewis and Lewis Acrylics. The concept behind it is that art is almost always about the object. I want to turn this on its head a little bit. I am going to produce small finished pieces of artwork and distribute them to individuals across the country for free, in exchange for them then doing some artwork, writing something, or cooking something and passing the love on to another person, and sending me documentation of what they do. If you are at all interested in this project, please send me an email and lets get this project in gear!!

If you are interested in either of these projects the email is mike (at) lewis acrylics dot com.
Thanks in advance!

A Little More About Mike



Mike lives and works in Maine with his cat, Cedric. He is an avid bike rider, an extreme music nerd, and a comic book geek. If you'd like to know more about his art, his craft, or are just plain curious as to who this guy is that draws birds wearing headphones you can follow him on Twitter and Facebook. The links are to your left.


Thanks for stopping by.
Peace.
