slight progress...

Hey to anyone who follows this blog, a wonderful young lady, a Ms. Emily Wisely, wrote an article about Modern Skeleton, to you can find here. Kevin Ross, a site builder, has also promised a very basic site to be completed very soon. It will take a while for it to be completely customized and ready for publication.

As far as Artist Updates, we are all very much in the process of creation. Some also in the process of Graduating. A few of us leave this coming December. My personal creation will mostly happen during the duration of the summer.

I'll try to keep everyone updated better as well!

Modern Skeleton's First Blog!: A History

2009-10-27T16:55:00.000-07:00

For those of you who may not know me,

my name is John J. Radcliffe III, but all

my friends call me "Tripp" and so can you!

I'm a Fine Art Major / Business Minor

at Harding University. I've interened for

Greg Thompson Fine Art, in Little Rock, AR.

as well as M2 Gallery in Little Rock, AR, this

past summer, which is one of the inspirational

contributors to this project... this project being

MODERN SKELETON GALLERY ofcourse!

Modern Skeleton Gallery (MSG) is an online

art gallery owned and opperated by your's truly,

that i bought in the summer of 2009,

where I sell and represent some of my friends',

as well as my own, artwork. All of this while

testing the waters of the Art & Sales world,

and trying my hardest to get my foot in the door

of Sotheby's Art Institute of New York, to persue

a Master's Degree in Art & Business.

I named this project Modern Skeleton Gallery

because it's exactly that. As artists in today today's

generation, we're putting new skin on the same

frames that were used generations ago by our fore-

fathers with every canvas we stretch and gesso, or

by the use of the same practices excersized in the

past. Every piece of this earth used, it's tree's, its clay,

its minerals of color...every piece is a revolution.

The current MSG Draft includes Artists such as

the great: Ginna Lambert (mixed media),

Laura Cooper (mixed media), Andrew Thompson

(mixed media), Paige Walton (Ceramics/Pottery),

Lyn Rushton (mixed media),and myself,

John Radcliffe III (mixed media).

The range of art willcontain: Oil Paintings, Watercolor,

Prints (woodcut,etchings, aqua - tints, and soft ground)

Pottery,Pen&Ink, Concept Art (computer made), and

drawings of various media.

This Blog is not only to help keep a record

of MSG's triumphs and falls, but to help tell

a story of demand for the Art, of growth of the

Artist's it represents, and quite excitingly

(as well as anxiously) the possibility of success

and failure of it's "on the brink of something new"

owner... Me.

The site will be up by the end of January 2010,

so keep your eyes and ears open!

Sincerely,

Tripp
