Newbies

New Wreaths Today! See here.

Marcus Kenney

Thank you to my friend Amy Z. who also sent me an amazing goodie box for my birthday-which included this great new book about Savannah artist, Marcus Kenney! SCAD was behind the creation of this book-proudly made for one of its most prolific alumnus. I don't know what happened to his snazzy website-but a very factual one, complete with publicity excerpts and gallery links can be found here. Just click on a show under his Exhibitionscategory for an easy view of the work. His book can be purchased at shopSCAD (912)525-5180 or here.
