Dubway Recording Studio, NYC

Dubway Owner/engineer Al Houghton, Marc Farre, Dubway Co-Owner/engineer Mike Crehore
It looks like Dubway recording studio in NYC has a new website and it's really nice. I was just checking out the "news" page. There are mentions of Patty Smith, Nora Jones, Janet Reno, Kate Hudson, Whoopi Goldberg to name a few. Dubway Studio records and tweaks soundtracks for films, television, and animation. They also do a fine job recording singer-songwriters. Nickolodeon's Backyardigans, a children's animated feature, depends on Dubway for it's sound. He ain't heavy, he's my brother! Mike Crehore is co-owner of Dubway and he is also a great guitarist. Al Houghton is his partner in crime.
Have a look at their cool website:

Pressure Printing - Perfection!

"Madonna and Karl" copyright Mark Ryden 2007, etching

Brad Keech at Pressure Printing does the most beautiful art prints around. I am honored to be working with him. In January 2008, I will be able tell you more about that, but meanwhile, have a look at his website:
Pressure Printing

Ryden's "Madonna and Karl" reminds me a tiny bit of a painting I did back in 1990 called "Icon".
His brand new print quickly sold out.

The Paintings of Claude Verlinde

Aphrodite
La déchirure
Le Mariage
What a find! Claude Verlinde, a contemporary painter born in 1927. Some call it "imaginary realism" - which is exactly the way I used to describe my own paintings. How lovely and surreal these are. They are painted with such attention to detail, with humor and feeling. More here:
