SO, I figure it's time I formally mention my involvement with my current incarnation of artistic family:
The Safehouse Studios. Located in the gritty SOMA district of San Francisco, The Safehouse has a character hard to find elsewhere. Housing the new
Safehouse Atelier, inheritor of the
Carl Dobsky legacy started at Conceptart.org's Next Gen Atelier nearby, Safehouse is bigger and badder than ever. We have our own building now, housing both the 15 student capacity atelier facility upstairs (right next to Pappa Carl's own Chamber of Wonders), and 7 additional professional artist spaces on the ground floor, where
Jeremy Mann holds down the fort. The ambiance is rustic, refined and scrappy all at once, and the attitudes and skills are first class. All the studios are held by talented members of our artistic "crew", many of them alumni of the school upstairs and all of them working professionally as dedicated artists. It's a no-nonsense atmosphere of creation and hard work, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
We got together a week or so ago and took a Founders portrait in preparation for the upcoming show. We kept it old school and classy, with a nod to the old masters who really knew what's up. Big ups to everyone for looking so slick...
But then, what fun's all that work without a little play? We gots ta keep it real....
Big thanks to
Scott Hermanson for taking the awesome shots. More on the way.
Coming soon: pics of the show madness.... stay tuned!
