Art*o*mat® "Dias de Los MATos" Installed at Meow Wolf Art Complex!

Meow Wolf opens March 17th!  Hours: Wed-Sun 10am-8pm    1352 Rufina Circle, Santa Fe, NM

Today I got to install my "Dias de los MATos" 20-column Art*o*mat® at the new Meow Wolf Art Complex at 1352 Rufina Circle in Santa Fe!  This is my 5th machine for New Mexico and my third in Santa Fe. I can't express enough how frikkin COOL this place is and what a perfect venue it is for Art*o*mat®.  I am so excited for it to open!

There is still tons of work to be done before the GRAND OPENING: MARCH 17th and Meow Wolf-ers are working around the clock to get it done in time.  I had some help unloading the minivan and moving the machine into the building. Thank goodness for strong young men! Thank you to the Meow Wolf-ers for helping move the machine and to Emily Montoya, who runs the gift shop, for facilitating it all.  And a very special thank you goes out to Laird and Corky Brown for use of the minivan and their never-ending support of my Art-o-mat-nuttiness!

...all I had to do was hold the door. Thanks, guys!

Special Sneak Peek of Meow Wolf Art Complex!

Greetings Art*o*mat® friends and fans! Happy New Year to you all.  I am excited for this year because I will finally get to install my "Dias de los MATos" Art*o*mat® machine in the Meow Wolf Art Complex which will be open MARCH 17th 2016!!! It's located at the old Silva Lanes at 1352 Rufina Circle in Santa Fe.

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek behind the walls of the new construction and was blown away by how it is all coming along, the sheer creativity vibe that is emanating from the place, and how damn GOOD everything is looking.  Thank you, Vince Kadlubek, for the tour and best wishes for everything getting ready in time for the big Grand Opening.  Buy your tickets here if you haven't already!!!

The latest sculpture to attack the Meow Wolf parking lot is "TaranTula." Fear her awesomeness!

It's shaping up to be a forest of wonder and awesomeness. Can't wait to wander!

Our first look at the House of Eternal Return.  You may think you have an idea of how cool it is gonna be.  You don't.

Now Featuring NEW Santa Fe Art*o*mat® Artist: Corky Brown

VoodooWell Dolls are here just in time for Halloween! By Santa Fe artist, Corky Brown

Find VoodooWell dolls in Art*o*mat® at the El Centro de Santa Fe location.

I'm so excited to feature a new local artist for Art*o*mat®! Santa Fe's own Corky Brown has created some delightfully fun and cute "VoodooWell" dolls for you to enjoy. The instructions read, "To lift your spirits touch my heart for love, rub my back for comfort, stroke my palm for money, and hold onto the topaz staff for wisdom and strength. Gaze into my eyes and try not to giggle. Squeeze me!" But you aren't going to want to poke this voodoo doll with pins -if you did then the squeaker toy inside would cease to squeak!  These dolls have been placed in my turquoise Art*o*mat® machine located at El Centro de Santa Fe located one block south of the Plaza on Water street. Get 'em while they last. Happy Halloween, everybody!

Corky Brown is the Featured "New Santa Fe Artist"

Hey Artists: Art*o*mat® Needs YOU!

Greetings and Happy Summer, Art*o*mat® friends and fans!

This month I want to give a special shout out to artists. Artists local and far away are needed to join the Art*o*mat® team.  Demand for art for our vending machines is greater than ever and I was hearing a bit of a scuttlebutt in North Carolina that MORE ART IS NEEDED NOW!  If you have made art for us before then we want more.  If you have never made art for us but have always wanted to then now is the time to give it a shot.  If you know an artsy friend who might be interested in becoming an Art*o*mat® artist then please tell them about us!
CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT HOW TO SUBMIT WORK!

Art*o*mat® artists are awesome! They get their work seen in machines throughout the country, they can include contact info, websites, and catalogs, and they GET PAID for their art!  It's an amazing marketing opportunity. It's a positive, pro-recycling, and anti-tobacco message to the world.  If you need more reasons to become one of us "Artists In Cellophane" then let me know and I will happily rattle off a dozen.  What kind of art do you do? We need it!
