By creating a defense mechanism which alienates effort, we are free to admire and then condemn those attempting to better themselves. The innocent act of self exploration provides us the obstacles we must endure through life.<br /><br />Human frailty and fortitude are at the heart of most of O'Brien's work. A Wolf in the Fold embodies the struggle between human ambition and toil, and the boundaries we impose.<br /><br />Gallery 626.458.7477 <br />210 East Main St, Alhambra CA 91801 <br /><a href="http://www.gallerynucleus.com/gallery/exhibition/321">Gallery Nucleus Show Information</a>Rick O'Brienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03952888927416246745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25093343.post-84262210637573148592010-09-29T20:05:00.000-07:002010-10-01T08:31:22.343-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyV-Z0jHRrbVY0LMitKRnak4TzbalaDx928dNtZGh3U7BJGnxxrl15cfEYsnIyJX5GeQQwPSl2IWqrQi1YBoyIccDrQCqDe47WyOIOUD2MetCN_j_dvBWTy160IJWHHxBBsU0e/s1600/Danni+2-blog.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 281px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522538443610585058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyV-Z0jHRrbVY0LMitKRnak4TzbalaDx928dNtZGh3U7BJGnxxrl15cfEYsnIyJX5GeQQwPSl2IWqrQi1YBoyIccDrQCqDe47WyOIOUD2MetCN_j_dvBWTy160IJWHHxBBsU0e/s400/Danni+2-blog.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ4-7Gx819Cd8EWFnaf-DU4uBUB6KdMxsZnBW6kMnEBle_PEFpK6HJV-tztfr9ZQWRuWDX5ePHOQUSMvDe1svEnc9K4hggMHpFTb8F9jNm3vojlrdjTKjuJVLes1cpjU_4ruWx/s1600/rick_sketching.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522537425970479394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ4-7Gx819Cd8EWFnaf-DU4uBUB6KdMxsZnBW6kMnEBle_PEFpK6HJV-tztfr9ZQWRuWDX5ePHOQUSMvDe1svEnc9K4hggMHpFTb8F9jNm3vojlrdjTKjuJVLes1cpjU_4ruWx/s400/rick_sketching.jpg" /></a><strong> Prepping for </strong><a href="http://www.babytattooville.com/BTVille/Home.html"><strong>Baby Tattooville</strong></a> <strong>2010</strong>.</div><br /><div>I have the good fortune to be included in this year's festivities by contributing 50 drawings to the attendees.<br /><br /><div>Drawing primarily from live models (10 to 15 minute poses), I'm gettin' a head start this week...twelve down, thirty-eight to go! </div><div></div><div>My wife, <a href="http://missmindypie.blogspot.com/">'Miss Mindy' </a>, who was a featured artist last year, will once again be creating 50 pieces of art as well...</div><div></div><div>I'll be sure to post more drawings and pictures of the event as they unfold!</div><div>-Stay tuned...</div><div></div><div><em><strong>-Rick</strong></em></div><div><strong><em></em></strong></div><div><strong><em></em></strong> </div><div><strong><em>Join me on FaceBook: Rick O'Brien </em></strong></div><div><em>-I'll be posting new pictures after the event<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=306216&id=677389147&l=1a1fdbaf9d"><strong>HERE</strong></a> - check back!</em></div></div>Rick O'Brienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03952888927416246745noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25093343.post-11424149722441946232010-09-16T20:05:00.000-07:002010-09-16T20:09:25.505-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicVtNU3bFTwTSRW5iMBr_r0qML9dcen203pFLpCs6Dr7GfIlW8P7l1AosQby8ynFtf9qCbUcwnSvfI0rLRxSLxrvJnbGjXbtdkEf9V2lYsC31LBMzHNc2K6-VZULWHK96wcOVT/s1600/IMG_1125%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517713410669265506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicVtNU3bFTwTSRW5iMBr_r0qML9dcen203pFLpCs6Dr7GfIlW8P7l1AosQby8ynFtf9qCbUcwnSvfI0rLRxSLxrvJnbGjXbtdkEf9V2lYsC31LBMzHNc2K6-VZULWHK96wcOVT/s400/IMG_1125%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a><br /><em><strong>Hey Everybody.. were hosting another Dr. Sketchy's Life Drawing session:<br /></strong>Bob from Baby Tattoo Books is at it again....

For those in and around Los Angeles it can be found at the following businesses that have Design Studio Press accounts: Art Center College of Design Bookstrore, Swain's Art Supply, Hennessey & Engalls, Kinokuniya, Meltdown, Art Supply Warehouse, Sterling Art, Gnomon Bookstore, World Supply, Vroman's, and Nucleus. If any other locations are brought to my attention I'll let you know. Online, <em>Counterweight</em> can be purchased directly through the publisher at designstudiopress.com. As for any locals interested in purchasing a book, it might be a good idea to contact the store to check on availability, as I don't have a confirmed delivery schedule for local accounts. Any news and updates on book signings and art showings will be posted in the comings weeks. Much thanks and fortitude.<br /><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Rick<br /><br />Here are a few low resolution spreads from the book.
