I’m a huge lover of all things Mac and when I stumbled upon Freeland Studios very cool combination of the iPhone and retro house phone…happiness filled my heart. Florida artist Scott Freeland fuses Art with Function and I seriously want two of these for our home. The best part….You can actually talk into this phone’s receiver by plugging into your iPhone…VERY COOL!

The iRetroFone Base is a fully-functional, stationary iPhone dock with working handset and complete compatibility with USB cable. Each individual iRetroFone is hand-sculpted and handcast in urethane resin by Scott at Freeland Studios, Inc.

As many of you know birds are a strong theme in my life. Needless to say I am quite smitten with the works of Frank Gonzales. His bird paintings have pretty much stolen my heart. I love the patterns and composition on each piece almost as if each bird was vibrating color.

Currently Gonzales is working on a series of five 10×10 birds for a show in Livingston, Montana. He earned his BFA from Laguna College of Art & Design in Laguna Beach, CA but now resides in New York with his girlfriend, two turtles and a carnivorous plant terrarium where he makes his art.

I recently did an interview with Raleigh artist Garrett Scales featuring his gorgeous ladies. Well something awesome is happening in downtown Raleigh! Scales will be the newest artist at Artspace where his giant works will be featured.

For now his art will be featured in the Connecting Gallery in the rear of Artspace but on July 6th he’s moving into studio 108 and will be there until January 10th. So be sure to come by and support him! I can’t wait to see his newest pieces! (can you tell I’m a fan?) CONGRATS Garrett!
