Basset Hound Rescue of Southern California needs foster homes
If you are in Southern California and can temporarily open up your heart to foster a hound, Basset Hound Rescue of Southern California is in a tough spot and needs your help! BHRSC has 2 hounds in the Pet Hotel (Clyde Jr & Duke); 1 hound with the Vet (Lulu Belle); and 4 hounds (photos above) potentially heading our way on Dec 2nd, and we're out of foster homes. So folks - we need your help - especially if you can foster one of these kids...even if it's for one-time-only. Please let me know if you can help out - I bet the joy you receive helping a hound during the holidays is far better than any other gift you could receive. You can contact Laurie McCulloch at: lmcculloch@bassethoundrescue.org

20. November 2009
What is the Recovery Discovery Tour?: "The Recovery Discovery Tour," is a self-guided auto tour of artists' homes and studios in Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Mount Washington, organized by the Arroyo Arts Collective.Where: Starts at the Lummis Home, 200 E. Avenue 43, Highland Park, CA 90031When: November 22, 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. As part of the Recovery Discovery Tour, artist Edem Elesh will open his home studio in Mount Angelus, a hilltop neighborhood in Highland Park. From an absolutearts.com review: The work of Los Angeles based painter, Edem Elesh, finds itself in the murky waters of the viewer's unconscious.Fantastical, dream-like and dystopian, Elesh's imagery is set in our postmodern time, at an intersection where the subject matter of various sorts has been cut loose from it's origins and dropped onto the foreign occupied space of the canvas.With an irreverence and narrative approach to working, each subject has been abandoned and ultimately left to stake its claim in a new and unfamiliar territory.When asked about the conception and drive of an individual painting, Elesh straightforwardly replies that, "Everyday situations of existence" are always where his subject matter remains fertile.

16. November 2009
Steven Anderson last opened his home studio on the Arroyo Arts Collective Discovery tour in 2003. After a five year hiatus, Steven's home studio high in the hills of Eagle Rock will again be a featured destination on the tour. From the artist's web site Steven L. Anderson was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1971, and raised by a family of creative environmentalists. He achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in 1988 and the following year attended the University of Michigan with the plans of being a "renaissance man." It was here that he began to make small collages using an approach of appropriation and re-contextualization that would serve as a basis for his creative process. A post-graduate slacker/LSD experience in the newly split Czech Republic convinced Steven to follow a path through the arts, leading him to the Art Institute of Chicago to train as a painter, printmaker and graphic designer. It was here that he met and fell in love with his wife Liz (Department of Graphic Sciences), his life-long love and inspiration. Agnes Anderson joined the family in 2007. Steven's career as an artist has been a cycle of collaborative and individual production, focusing on the nature of power and the power of nature. In 1998 he joined Cakewalk Magazine as co-publisher; designing, editing and raising money for issues 2-6. Steven has also been a driving force in 2004's October Surprise curatorial project in Northeast Los Angeles. Other fruitful collaborations have included Fat Farmer Bob and His Colourful Crazy Beard (2008-), Fuz Fon (1999-2001) and Chicago's Free the Real World Coalition (2001). Steven has art-directed and designed for In These Times (1998-2001) and WhiteWalls (1999-2003) magazines in Chicago, and the Center for the Study of Political Graphics (2003-04) and 1105 Media inc. (2003-current) in Los Angeles, among others. The Andersons currently reside in Northeast Los Angeles with cats Big D. and Kittenhead Jenkins. Steven L.
