Old chairs with custom paint job makes a great addition to your music room, front porch or a gift for your finger picker.  No arms on the chair allows plenty of elbow room!  This classic ladder back chair is the quintessential addition to your southern folk art collection.  I have several more ladder backs, a spindle back and an old school chair in the studio waiting for paint.  This particular piece has a primitive blues theme. starting at $325.00

OUTLAND BLUES: Visions from Alabama’s Peculiar Highway.

Please join us on the evening of Friday, May 4^th at Grace Aberdean Habitat Alchemy in Tuscaloosa for the premier of the latest works by outsider artist Anthony Tavis.  You may have seen Anthony’s vibrant and colorful art at the recent Druid City Arts Festival in downtown Tuscaloosa and the Montevallo Arts Festival.  His latest series includes a variety of new characters, old legends, ancient artifacts, highway signs and roadside varmints. This show is a must see for West Alabamians in particular due to its regionally specific subject matter. Hope to see y’all there!

Art on "R" mountain was a huge success, thank you all who came up to Ruffner Mountain for the show.  A special thanks to Jeff and the crew from the East Lake Arts District for hosting an amazing show.  We will definitely see you there in 2013!

Druid City Arts Festival: The best show to date!

I just want to thank Creative Campus and the Druid City Arts Festival for all their hard work and dedication.  I would also like to thank all of my customers in Tuscaloosa! This festival was truly the best to date.  My Wife, my son and I all had a blast!  It's a shame that this extraordinary event may not happen again next year.  Hopefully DCAF will find a sponsor and this party will go on for years to come.  It was great to see so many familiar faces, the bands were excellent and the food was spectacular!
