Why do what we do? The idea is to create a place where kids and adults can come and work out their creative frustrations. To create a place to learn and practice the arts. To create a safe place for creative expression. When you buy tutorials, buy t-shirts, mugs and other swag, when you donate, when you like or share, you help promote this activity in my studio, in my community and in other like minded studios around the world.
We had a fantastic turnout to the reception a couple of weeks ago! Here are a few of the pics and a video to go with it. We had 150-200 people come through. And that’s not counting the sexy, red headed @DarcyW who watched live on Ustream with my mom and @pennysmom!

I love those days when you wake up to discover you are on the front page of the paper and it’s not a mug shot or an indictment! Â I’m looking for to 2013 being a break out year for Oasis. Â Walking up to the grocery store newspaper rack and seeing this without warning is just AWESOME!
This weekend I dug in and made some serious upgrades to the studio. First I was able to have my art bench wired with its own breaker. That means no more extension cords all over. Second, I was able to install a sound system that would let the the kids shriek without drowning me out. That’s a HUGE accomplishment in and of itself. That means in Thursday nights I don’t have to make my family feel ostracized for the sake of the show. Awesome. It’s been a lot of work and I’ve had to forgo a video for the week, but I think it’s been worth it. Besides, I may STILL get a video out by Wednesday.
