Gnarlins '07

American Necktie

There has been a rash of nooses showing up all over the country, even at the Coast Guard Academy.  The folk in Jena, even in this day and age, with internet and history (that is, obviously, not being taught) have the nerve to show their stupidity by calling its use a "prank".  That's like saying sheets and hoods are "ghost costumes". (You'll get that between now and Halloween.) Someone commented on the fact that George W. has been given enough rope to hang the country. 
I'm hoping that this speaks for itself. Chuck Siler

 

 

Y'ALL, THIS WAS A QUICKIE THAT I COULDN'T RESIST.

 

THE DALLAS MAWNIN' NOOS HAD THIS STORY ABOUT MAYOR RAYRAY'S

INTENTIONS TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR.

 

I THINK THAT BOBBY JINDAL WOULD LIKE HIM AS AN OPPONENT.  BOBBY

MIGHT EVEN MAKE A CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION TO GET HIM IN THE

RACE AND GUARANTEE HIS CHANCES OF WINNING.—CES

Chuck Siler's Jazz Angels Deep Water Blues--New Orleans loss is Dallas' gain!  When New Orleans artist Chuck Siler evacuated to Dallas after Hurricane Katrina, and he decided not to return, Dallas gained another master artist. aka CHUCK SILER: THE DALLAS DEBUT marks Siler's first solo exhibition in Dallas and includes a variety of media and themes ranging from New Orleans' lively and unique jazz scene to its lively and equally unique political scene. Siler gives us a glimpse into this treasure of American cities as only a native can, using his art to comment on its complexities, warts and beauty marks. His work spans the gamut of media from fine watercolors and acrylics to biting political cartoons, most of which find their way into various publications monthly. 

Come out and MEET THE ARTIST on Saturday, September 13 from 5-7 pm have a little jambalaya courtesy of Dodie's Seafood Cafe and welcome him and his wonderful art to Dallas!  This exhibit is a part of the DADA Fall GALLERY ARTWALK.  Visit www.dallasartdealers.org for a complete list of ARTWALK locations.

Opening is Saturday, September 13 at 5 pm.  FREE  This exhibit  runs through November 1, 2008.
