“Fanatic - A Group show of Excessive Enthusiasm”
October 10th - November 8th, 2008
BLVD Gallery

“Fanatic” was a group show that explored the enthusiasm expressed in “Fan” art. The artists that participated in the show were given the task of creating art that is in tribute to something that they are truly a fan of.

Rob and I thought about it for a day. It was a no brainer. We are true fanatics of Brazil. We are learning to speak Portuguese, contemplate moving there, love Brazilian cinema, and even dressed up as carnivale samba dancers one halloween. It was the perfect motivation to delve deeper in our fanaticism for this beautiful country and their culture. One of my favorite memories of this project was the music. There is so much great tropicalia and rare songs. We had a blast hunting them down and listening to hours and hours of it. We made a disc of our favorites and had a mixes available at the gallery. I will have some available to download soon.
