Now I need your help

Hello All,

I try to do my best to pay what I know forward. Now, I want to request help from all of you. With the assistance of Jeff Love, and Leslie Herman from the forum/Academy, and several others that I will thank later, I am pouring myself into my work for my debut Solo show on September 4th.

I will be showing 104 pieces of new work created for the show (in theory) at the opening. I am trying to do something original in the work itself, and unique with the sale of the work. I can't divulge everything until the show. If you have followed my work, and supported me over the years, I thank you. I hope that many of you can walk away with a piece from the show. This is a huge endeavor and risk for me. I have ambitions of heading to New York after this to beat the streets. In many ways, I am starting over.

I would truly appreciate it if you all would post the show opening announcement wherever you feel it may be applicable: Facebook, Twitter, Illustration Friday, ConceptArt, etc. I can't thank you all enough in advance, but hopefully things will make sense at the show.

I look forward to seeing those of you who can attend!

best regards,

Sterling Clinton Hundley (I'll be going by my full name in the galleries)

Press Release:

August 14, 2009, Richmond, VA . . . The solo show of painter Sterling Clinton Hundley debuts at Ghostprint Gallery on September 4, 2009.
Hundley’s new body of work, entitled [i]Emergent[/i], evolves from his noted career in illustration. His title derives from the scientific term emergent, referring to the process of complex systems that are composed of lesser parts.
Hundley’s creative process begins with a 3" x 3" monotype, which he then develops into a sequence of progressively larger and more complex works based on a grid of square panels. The new works use radically different techniques while further revealing Hundley’s intense skill as a conceptual image-maker. The images are suffused with his signature wit and layered meanings.
Says Hundley, “I navigate the gauntlet of abstraction to arrive just this side of representational.”
Hundley’s honors include three gold and two silver medals from the New York-based Society of Illustrators. In addition, from 2006-2008 , his work received more awards from his peers than any other illustrator in the U.S.
His clients have included Richmond Magazine, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, The New York Times, The L.A. Times, Atlantic Monthly, Entertainment Weekly, G Q, and The Washington Post as well as prominent theater companies. One of his paintings accompanied by an original story, has been reproduced on the final page of Virginia Living for several years.
Hundley is a Professor in the Department of Communication Arts at VCU in Richmond, Virginia and a core instructor at the Illustration Academy, which is currently held on the campus of Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida.
Information on the development of Hundley’s new paintings is available at his blog: www.sterlingclintonhundley.blogspot.com
[i]Emergent[/i] continues at the Ghostprint Gallery through September 26, 2009.
