Digital Artist Lisa Drew begins a two week show at Frank Stone Gallery this coming Thursday, November 13th. The opening reception is Friday, November 14th from 5-9pm.
Lisa’s work is dynamic, studied and energized. She has created everything from minimalist interpretations of stained glass to whisical stills of “dinos.”
Her stark black and white studies of modern architecture [...]

Okay, I’ll admit it. I was a little concerned when the Diva Drew showed me the handbills the French were passing out at their concert in Paris. I mean, c’mon! Chants Slaves?
What would be going through your perverted little mind if your significant other brought something like this home? And don’t say, “Why nothing [...]

…or at least he got back without being eaten. The French do love their pork.
So, where did Piggy go and what did he do?
Let me make clear that Piggy came back with a lot of pictures so I’m gonna to milk this sucker for all the blog entries I can get. Besides, a little Piggy [...]

Piggy is on the plane and headed to Paris. In fact, if my calculations are correct, he and the Diva Drew and the Rose Ensemble have already stepped off the plane in sunny Paris.
They were lucky enough to get one of the last direct to Paris flights from “No Way” Airlines.
This was a great [...]

Yes, our intrepid Piggy has finally found a way to travel to Europe. He is, of course, rising “piggy-back” in Lisa Drew’s backpack.
He’s brought along everything he needs. A bag of truffles, a bag of breath mints and an airsick bag. Yes, our Piggy is prepared.
He’s also figured out how to hide from the [...]

Lisa Drew’’s latest gallery showing for her digital art photography begins Sunday, 8-10-08 in the gallery at Plymouth Congregational Church in Minneapolis. The opening reception begins at noon. The show runs through August and part of September.
This is a joint showing with hand-painted glass artist Lucy Rose Fischer. It seems very serendipitous for these [...]

…and I don’t mind saying I’ve missed her terribly. However, it’s also been a good experience for me. I have a tendency to get intellectually lazy.
Lisa has an IQ well above mine and so I tend to rely on her for technological solutions. She’s an extraordinary problem solver. There’s a damned good reason her [...]

The Diva Drew just came back from another triumphant tour in Europe with The Rose Ensemble. They were performing in a festival outside of Milan, Italy for two weeks.
She told me that there were horse races through the streets of these small neighborhoods as part of the festival. Each neighborhood had its own colorful [...]

Last night the Diva Drew and I were watching a little TV. Luckily, our video coma was interrupted by previews of a movie called “The Ruins”.
Oh my god, the previews were so bad we thought it was a gag commercial. You know, like the ones they do on Saturday Night Live. We kept waiting for the punch line.
First, [...]

Actually, the title is a bit of a misnomer. Most people who live in Minnesota would interpret that to mean, “OH MY GAWD! Will winter never end?” Or “I want to hack and shred small furry animals and gnaw on their dead, crusty corpses!” Well, maybe that’s not how most Minnesotans get but I sometimes [...]

I’ll be dropping the Diva off at the airport around 4 o’clock today. The Rose Ensemble will be performing their new show, The Secret Society of Notre Dame in Birmingham, Alabama tomorrow night. I’m a tad worried about the tornadoes they’re having down there but the Diva Drew knows no fear. She’s ready to rock!
She gave me [...]
