Posted project update #6November already?
Post CommentHello lovely supporters,
I sit here stunned and amazed that November is already upon us. Hard to believe it has been 2 months since returning from the Grand Adventure that is Burning Man. The Portrait Project is underway, I've begun doing small studies from the photos taken at BM, (you can get a first look at all the new work by geting on the client list here: http://www.vlasicstudio.com/vlasicstudio.com/Guest_Book_%26_Contact.html ) and am this week starting on the first big painting. I will be giving a "sneak peak" of the series with one or two paintings in February, as I have been invited to be part of a group exhibit at CVA (Center for Visual Arts) here in Denver. Many of the photographs taken at BM are now online on the Facebook fanpage here, http://www.facebook.com/pages/Welcome-Home-A-Burning-Man-Portrait-Project/169502786438429 . I do hope your holidays are marvelous and joyful, and once again, thank you so much for supporting the project,
-M Vlasic

Posted project update #58 Days and counting...
Post CommentHello beautiful backers,
I hope this finds you well and happy. 8 days to go until this great adventure ensues, and the excitement is palpable. I have everything for the photo booth here and ready to go. I'm still learning the camera, but confident I'll have it down by next Saturday when we leave. The living room has become "Burning Man Central", piled with boxes and bins and bikes getting ready for the journey. You can read more on the website blog at http://thebmportraitproject.com/theBMportraitproject.com/Home_Page.html Remember I'll be posting daily (wifi willing) from the Playa on the blog and the Facebook page so you can follow along, and of course if you are going to Burning Man, I expect to see you at the Project Photo Booth at Whiskey & Dust, 7:30 & Divorce, 5-7pm Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Did you get your bling? The bling has been mailed. If you did not get yours, please let me know and make sure I have your address.
Thanks again for your support of the project!

Posted project update #4Project Update for a Burning Man Portrait Project
Post CommentHello beautiful supporters,
Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you what's happening with the project. The bling has been ordered and will arrive by the end of the month. I plan to get them all packed up and shipped out to you the first week of August. The big news is I am hosting a fundraiser event on August 5th to raise the rest of the needed funds to get this project to the desert, so mark your calendars! It's going to be a remarkable evening with great DJs, live music (the amazing Ian Cooke will be playing, and more! ) aerial hoop performers, food from Watercourse, and an art exhibit and silent auction. Tickets should be available by the end of the week. Only $10 pre-sale ($15 at the door) I hope you can join us! In the meantime, you can always check out the project blog at http://thebmportraitproject.com/theBMportraitproject.com/Blog/Blog.html for the latest happenings. Thank you again for your support. I can't wait to get out there! The man burns in 60 days...

Posted project update #1Project Update for a Burning Man Portrait Project
Post CommentHello Beautiful Backers,
The feedback on this project has been outstanding, getting more excited by the day! 22 days left in the fundraiser and we're 23% there. There's been so much happening! We've decided to camp with a theme camp this year "Whiskey & Dust", where we will have great support and a more permanent spot for the photo booth. I've put a little video up on the Kickstarter page and the project website (www.aburningmanportraitproject.com) talking about the project. My friend and great artist (and apparently great writer too) Mark Penner Howell wrote this amazing article talking about my project. I am honored! Thank you Mark! http://denverarts.org/local_news/marie_vlasic_s_multi-phase_fine_art_extravaganza_.html
Please continue to help me get the word out. Email your artsy friends, post on Facebook, etc. (there's a widget and a short link on the project main page). If you refer a friend who donates I'll throw in a little something extra when I ship your backer reward ;-) Thanks again for your support!
