Johnny Depp Is Said to Buy A Painting by Seattle Artist Kellie Talbot
Ballard-based artist Kellie Talbot makes tightly composed paintings of the eccentric American past of the mid-20th century. She pictures rusted old neon signs seen in daylight (so unlit, fallow), and at close range, as if you were up in their air.
They’re signs of a certain shared history that has splintered; you used to be able to find them all over, from Ballard to Vegas, in places that have since gone their separate ways, aesthetically and economically speaking. What they’re advertising may be gone, but these are such pretty hulks. If the paintings are nostalgic, that’s mitigated by the fact that the signs are suggested rather than seen whole, cut into fragments and details.

Meet & Greet in Creede
Johnny and Vanessa split
News are coming in everywhere that Johnny’s publicist confirmed that Johnny and Vanessa split:
“Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have amicably separated. Please respect their privacy and, more importantly, the privacy of their children.”

Because everything else than this official announcement is none of our business and they asked to respect their privacy, I will close comments on these sad news.

Colorado mining town goes Hollywood
CREEDE – The Lone Ranger is getting the big screen big budget overhaul from power producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
And folks in the southwestern Colorado town of Creede couldn’t be happier. But while Hollywood may be new to the town, the arts are not.
“We got the Governor’s Art Award 2010 for the “Best Art Community in Colorado,” Mayor Eric Grossman said.
Not only does the movie put the mining town on the map, but many hope the entire state as well.
“Everybody around the world will see this movie,” Colorado Film Commissioner Donald Zuckerman said. “These movies in the past have done a million dollars at the box office.”
The film stars Armie Hammer Helena Bonam Carter and Johnny Depp. The movie is set to open July 3, 2013.
