Howdy Everyone-

As we go into the last week of my art show, I wanted to say thanks to everyone who came out and supported the show whether it was through purchasing art or by coming out for the opening and enjoying the birthday celebration. I truly appreciate it.

For anyone who hadn't made it out yet, Coup D'Oeil (2033 Magazine in the LGD) will be open through this coming Saturday (barring Turkey Day), 10:30 to 6 p.m. and also by appointment with Ken Capone at 504-722-0876.

So far, we've sold approximately 40% of the show and are looking forward to continuing the success this week. Again, thank you all so much for your support and I look forward to bringing you fun shows in the future.

All best,
Rex

Joe Iurato Takes that :01 Second to Sunday Night Football on NBC

Joe Iurato keeps doing amazing things...and just when you think he can't out-do himself, here comes Joe on NFL's Sunday Night Football on NBC. For the Colts / Patriots Game, Joe cut three unique stencils for the game. Naturally, our favorite stencil was New Orleans' very own Peyton Manning (even though he plays for the Colts instead of the Saints). Check out this video and the words below...



From :01

I did some artwork for the Indianapolis Colts Vs. New England Patriots game which was aired on NBC's Sunday Night Football, November 15th 2009.
I was asked to create 3 multi-layer stencils Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and the SNF Logo. Theyd be used for a short piece the producers were calling Quarterbacks Of The Decade. The piece would be shown several times throughout game, mostly as transitions during highlight reels and replay TD passes. I spray painted the stencils on acetate so NBC could photograph them against a green screen and combine them with computer generated effects in the final cut. I sent a final composite along with each individual layer sprayed on its own sheet of acetate so they could also be shot separately - this allowed the images to rebuild themselves quickly on screen.
