Get to know a BLOOM Artist: Aimee Manion

Anyone who was at Winter Solstice will probably recognize Aimee's work despite her not being on the bill or any of the promotional material. That is because Aimee was added very last minute. To be honest I don't remember how I came to see her stuff but as soon as I did I invited her to show. There is something very haunting and beautiful about her work that I find absolutely irresistible.

Get to know a BLOOM Artist: Devin Dysart

In regards to Touchfaster events Devin Dysart is somewhat newer than a lot of the other BLOOM artists but we are thrilled to have him back. His first show with us was last years Summer Solstice where he did live sculpture.

Get to know a BLOOM Artist: Dustin Medvid

Dustin Medvid is an artist, musician, father, and all around awesome person. I met him a few years back through our mutual friend Skip Douglas of the band Doomsday Initiative. Skip recognized that me and Dustin had many similarities in our artistic sensibilities and he could not have been more right. As soon as I saw his collection of vinyl I knew that we were going to become good friends.

Get to know a BLOOM Artist: James Gyre of Naked Geometry

Talk about a local artist who is absolutely on fire...DJ, artist, mathematician, philosopher, craftsmen, sorcerer, and founder of Naked Geometry,  James Gyre, has made some incredible leaps in his career in the past year. Like many of the BLOOM artists James is not new to Touchfaster events but we always love to have him back. In order to get to know him a little better we asked him a few questions about the little things that keep him going.

Get to know a BLOOM Artist: Justin Wujcik

Returning for his third Touchfaster event, Justin Wujcik will be one of three 3D artists at BLOOM and we couldn't be happier about it. One look at his work and it becomes apparent that, in addition to a frighteningly creative mind, Justin is a wizard with tools and materials. We wanted to know what makes him tick so we asked him a few questions. Check out what he had to say...

Get to know a BLOOM Artist: Jamie Zbrzezny

We are welcoming back Jamie Zbrzezny for what will be her third (...maybe fourth?) time showing at one of our events and personally, I can't wait to see what she brings to the table. Of all of the artists that we book I am tempted to say that she uses the widest variety of media to get her point across and that always makes for fresh and interesting work. In getting ready for BLOOM we asked Jamie a new round of interview questions. Check out what she had to say...

Get to know a BLOOM Artist: Will McLaughlin

Will McLaughlin, owner of Versad Design, came very highly recommended from some mutual friends. He is not new to Touchfaster events as he took part in our Winter Solstice party this past January but we are thrilled to have him back for another go. In order to get to know Will a little better we had a brief chat about his background, his art, and his plans for the future. Check it out...

If you don't know, now you know...The KGB Interview

I am incredibly excited to announce that we are hopping on board to support two of our favorite cross state bands, Kalob Griffin Band (affectionately known as KGB if you hadn't picked up on that yet) and Chris Vipond and the Stanley Street Band, at their Pittsburgh show at The Rex Theater on April 12th.
