Good Friday Event a HUGE Success!

More than 500 people came out to the Good Friday, Scarlet Steps event last Friday night. What an amazing response! We originally had planned for only 150 people, so you can imagine how shocked and pleased we were. People keep asking if we'll do this again . . . can't wait!

WJTL Radio Interview

I meant to have an announcement about this up before I actually went on the air, but time got away from me. So here's a link to the interview for the Scarlet Steps event we were promoting on the radio last week. Look for "Sacred Spaces Good Friday Art Walk March 19 Part 1 & 2" close to the top of the page and then click on the "stream" link to listen to it from the web.

A Visual Good Friday Experience

This year, NewSong Fellowship Church has decided to step out of the norm of holding a Good Friday Service where you hear about the somber and compelling story of Jesus' death on the cross. They're still telling this story, but it's going to be delivered in a fresh and unforgettable visual way. I have been helping to gather the artists and artwork for this event and have to say that I've been amazed and blow away by what the artists in that church have come up with. I hope this is only the beginning of what God chooses to do with the artists at this church and look forward to working with them again on another project that will reveal how much God can speak through artwork, and does, in a very powerful way.

Picture Frame for New Baby

My best friend in San Diego just had a baby so I made this frame for her. I'm loving the new swirly flowers I made and can't wait to use them again on another piece. I never would have thought yellow and pink would work together, but I think it turned out alright.

War Painting Inspirations

In the midst of continuing my series of paintings about "love" (no, not because valentines day is coming . . .), I'm conflicted with a need to now paint about the Iraq War. I just finished watching "Why We Fight" by Eugene Jarecki and have so much emotion inside of me that I feel like I'm going to burst if I don't express it somehow. I know a lot of the information isn't new (since the film was made in 2005) but if you don't know anything about the Military-Industrial Complex and how it all began, this movie will give you some good insight.

Am I the Only One that Feels This Way?

. . . or am I the only one that will say it?

This is a new piece from my "Love" series that was hung at Square One Coffee last month. It's titled "Trying to Love What I Blame." To see the other ones in the series, go to my website at http://www.akimmich.com/art.cfm?cat=1
