Chuck Keppler at LimeBlue

Tonight is the December Artwalk - my favorite one because the evening is guaranteed to be cool and downtown always looks so nice, with the streets dressed up for the holidays.

And if I might twist your arm, please stop by Jeff Kopish's gallery, LimeBlue (62-B Queen Street), and take a look at Chuck Keppler's show.

Chuck is a marine biologist at the campus where I work (bio), and I knew him for several years before I discovered that he had an 'artsy' side.  He started out doing gigposters that have become quite popular - and now he is expanding to other subjects and approaches.

Stop by.  I'll take a break from grant writing and do the same.

I liked a lot of what I saw at his site, in particular the Dia de los muertos pieces and the Sullivan Island lighthouse piece (the one that's sold, of course).

Your Art Walk sounds like Wichita's Final Friday, which is to say: it sounds like a good time.

I saw your post on the Wichita art walk, and it does sound similar. I think downtown Charleston has a formal 'french quarter' art walk about four times a year. They're always fun, but I find myself standing in front of one gallery (primarily my friend's gallery), talking to a few people - and then I realize the time and that I didn't really 'walk' all that much. I always run into folks that I haven't seen for ahile, and that's fun.

Chuck Keppler is a really nice guy. And if there is something you're interested in, he takes requests for pieces and I think makes more than one of things (since they are often based on photographic images). I purchased one small one (for me) and then another small one for my brother for Christmas (they were both of buildings on King St in downtown Charleston). I think that he ended up selling quite a few pieces last night - I was happy for him.

I hope the walk was enriching and calming. Interesting art work and I love your pixies. They are out there, I know they are!

Layanee, it was a wonderful evening, and as for pixies - I'm looking out for them (but weren't they hilarious?).
