This weekend I took a trip to Boston for a gallery reception which included art by Rick Berry, a local artist. Even if that name does not sound familiar (which it didn't to me at first) you may be familiar with some of his work already and just not realize it. That was the case for one person I talked to at the event. Select works include the digital cover for the cyber novel "Necromancer," paintings and book design for limited edition Stephen King novels, and most recently a collaboration with Amanda Palmer and A.R.T. for their production of the musical "Cabaret," which included a portrait of Amanda Palmer as the emcee. He also has art books that you can find on
Amazon.com. All of the art I saw at this gallery was really quite good. I especially liked the pieces involved with the Cabaret project, but that might have been partially because I was very interested in following that project online and wished I could have seen it for myself. There were a lot of people at the event who all seemed to like the art as well.
This is the part where I would have added some photos, but there were too many to add using Blogger. Total side note, but this blog might be moving to Wordpress soon.
A complete set of photos will be available on flickr soon, so pay attention to Twitter for more updates on that. Also, you can find a complete resume of Rick Berry's work at his
website.
And for more information about purchasing paintings, you can contact Sheila@RickBerryStudio.com. She's very nice and would be more than happy to help with further enquiries.
Edit: I should also point out that the gallery is still open and will be up till March 1st, so if you're in the area there is still time to check it out and experience it for yourself.
