For the Cool in You.

It's HOT! Will most likely hit 110 today...that's down from yesterday's 114. Wheeeww!!! And don't let anyone fool you when they say, "But it's a dry heat - that's not so bad". I'm telling ya, hot is still hot!

So, anything that even suggests the idea of "chill" is a very good thing. Our Manhattan cocktail, giclee printed onto acrylic, with it's 1960's retro image, harkins back to an era of all things cool.

May we fix you another? (BTW, our studio produces this and many other vintage image artworks in any size to suit specific projects. That's a pretty cool thing, too.)

Has it really been over a month since our last post? Here it is already July, where did the time go?

With the 4th of July almost upon us, we thought it was fitting to post this pic. The triptych hanging behind us is named "American Beauty".

The event? The local chapter of the Network of Executive Women in Hospitality visited us in June NEWH is an international non-profit organization that profoundly believes in fostering success through cooperation, relationship building and most importantly education. It was a good chance to mingle and to show them just what we do here in our studio. It was a fun evening.

Our party was hosted by our representative partner co. Pentimento inc. Check out their website, www.pentimentoinc.com, to see more photos under the News and Events section. Oh, and by the way, the neon green cocktails we're holding are not absinthe but Melon Sours. We made them special for the party. Think we'll come up with a signature drink for every event! Cheers! And Happy 4th!

"FABULISSIMO"

re.collection art inc. is proud to introduce “Fabulissimo” a tribute to the late, great trombonist Al Grey. This mixed media artwork created by artist Dina Petruzzi is first in a jazz series from re.collection art inc. “While listening to Al’s music, I could feel the long notes, I sought to express that in the strokes of color”, says Petruzzi. “I’m hoping that more people will rediscover more greats such as Al.”

Inspired by Al’s widow, Rosalie Soladar and her amazing collection of memorabilia, “Fabulissimo” is meant to be an instrument of sorts, too. Its purpose is to pay tribute to one of America’s great musicians whose life was dedicated not only to playing trombone, but to teaching music as well. Grey created a jazz summer camp in his hometown of Pottstown, Pa., where he recruited other jazz greats to help him teach swing to high school students. The tradition of inspiring young musicians lives on, as a portion of the proceeds from the sale of “Fabulissimo” will be donated to The Al Grey/Rosalie Soladar Memorial Scholarship Fund.
