Plumage and Prey - NEW PAINTINGS and book signing

Mincy says:

On June 14th my new show Plumage and Prey will be opening at Henry Road in Los Angeles. Over 30 new paintings will be on display, and I'll be doing a singing of theGuide to Troubled Birds from Blue Rider Press and Penguin Random House, which will have just been published. It's going to be a gas. If you don't live in L.A. and are interested in buying new work, you can sign up for my fine art mailing list at www.mattadrian.com. For more about the cabinet of good-taste curiosities tha...

Pre-order!

We're back! Thanks for being patient as we set up our new studio in Pasadena, California. It took longer than we anticipated. 3 months is too long to be out of the online loop. Technically, in social media circles, we are considered deceased.



But!



Things are starting to heat up. We just received advance copies of the hardcover Guide to Troubled Birds fromBlue Rider Press, and we couldn't be happier. Seeing the Penguin logo on the back is beautiful avian kismet. If you'd like to pre-o...

The Creative Ramblings of a Restless Mind

Mincy says:



We're happy to introduce our new journal: "The Creative Ramblings of a Restless Mind."This was the result of the two of us getting together and "jamming" on a new design. Okay, we didn't jam. We designed. There was no jamming. I apologize. Sometimes I get a bit carried away.

Inside the vintage designed cover, you'll find 128 pages of creamy, thick, off-white 80 lb. paper that is acid free for archival quality–perfect for writing, drawing, collage–whatever your restless mind can conj...

I was in San Francisco and saw this. You could feel the miles, the hardship and the joy just radiating off of it. It made me want to drop the frozen yogurt I was eating and just go.



But it was lemonade sorbet with just the perfect amount of tartness, so I didn't.

The Guide is going to the Show

The bad news is "The Guide to Troubled Birds" is completely sold out. The ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC news is that it will be published by Penguin Random House in June 2014! I'm beyond thrilled to announce that Blue Rider Press, an imprint of Penguin Random House will be putting the Guide out–IN HARDCOVER!–next summer. Thanks to everyone that believed in this strange little book of avian oddities and helped it find its way to the big leagues!
