I am very excited to be part of the Bismarck Downtown Artists Co-op! It will be a gallery/working studio for local artists.
It is locted at 222 North Fourth Street in the historic old tribune building downtown. The 5 other artists and I who started it are in the process of getting the space ready for our first showing on that opens on Dec. 16ht called 'A Foot in the Door'. Any local artist is able to enter. The twist that goes along with the title of the show is: all artwork must be a foot by foot or smaller. For more information email www.bismarckdac@gmail.com

This is quite different from my normal subject matter but I am glad to have had the chance to expand a bit. The 'client' was a fifth grade girl who is a basketball player. She wanted it to be graffiti inspired. Check out the art section of my site to see additional images of the mural.]]> http://www.alilarock.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry111022-203944 Ali LaRock Sun, 23 Oct 2011 03:39:44 GMT http://www.alilarock.com/blog/comments.php?y=11&m=10&entry=entry111022-203944 http://www.alilarock.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry111022-201105
I haven't yet mentioned the film 'House of the Yaga'-the newest collaboration similar to 'Cornerboys' that I was part of this fall with writer Jamie Ridenhour,musician Kevin A. Smith, and photoshop genius Kelly McCormack. I created the art for it-check it out at:

Currently inkjet prints are for sale at ValleyCon in Fargo this weekend where 'House of the Yaga' is showing.
I really like how the inkjets copies look and hope at some point to have the capability to sell orginal artwork and 'prints' (technically the inkjet images are not prints-they are more like a poster but oh well) through my website.]]> http://www.alilarock.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry111022-201105 Ali LaRock Sun, 23 Oct 2011 03:11:05 GMT http://www.alilarock.com/blog/comments.php?y=11&m=10&entry=entry111022-201105 http://www.alilarock.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry111022-140209 www.electricxposure.com ]]> http://www.alilarock.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry111022-140209 Ali LaRock Sat, 22 Oct 2011 21:02:09 GMT http://www.alilarock.com/blog/comments.php?y=11&m=10&entry=entry111022-140209 http://www.alilarock.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry111022-130701

Heres some chalk art I made on the evening of the 4th...back when it was still light out late into the day. The words are lyrics from a song by the group Chiodos that I like. ]]> http://www.alilarock.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry111022-130701 Ali LaRock Sat, 22 Oct 2011 20:07:01 GMT http://www.alilarock.com/blog/comments.php?y=11&m=10&entry=entry111022-130701 http://www.alilarock.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry101127-200615

I created these images this November during long afternoon walks when time was still normal and we didn't have to fall back with the clocks. Now that the snow is here I will put my random chalk art messages on hold. It was an exciting endeavor to start up.
I thought I would have more time to continue.
