Artist Brad Nack Takes His Reindeer Paintings on Tour This 2009 Holiday Season
This year marks the 12th Annual Brad Nack 100% Reindeer Art Show and his first international Art Tour, with exhibits in 25 cities stretching from California to the U.K. Take a Reindeer Home For the Holidays.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 22, 2009 -- This year marks the 12th Annual Brad Nack 100% Reindeer Art Show and his first international Art Tour, with exhibits in 25 cities stretching from California to the U.K. Take a Reindeer Home For the Holidays.
A small idea that's just quirky enough to get some attention. In 1993, Nack created one Reindeer painting -- it ended up in a winter solstice art show, where it attracted over 25 purchase inquires. The gallery owner persuaded Nack to consider painting 50 Reindeer for the next year.
"After 12 years, I have painted a lot of Reindeer, they always take a long time to paint, but have their own way of coming to life, which is usually a surprise and that's what's good about it," says Nack. Collectors have arrived before the doors open. Followers have brought their own "red dots" so they can claim their piece without waiting for the gallery staff to assist them. Last year the entire show sold out in 7 minutes.
"I am shaking hands and smiling at all the cool people who've shown up at my art show. It's a success and it is all anyone could ask for, lots of sales in a nice gallery space. Some friends suggest drinks at an after party, and I decline, because I need to bleach the footprints off the walls, pick up used wine glasses, sweep and mop the floor, all by midnight, then drive 2 hours to the airport and fly all night across the continent to make it to the Sunday afternoon show in Miami. I haven't slept in 2 weeks all because I decided to 'make it big' as an artist."
