The artists of ‘Naked Genius’, a group of artists of which Edward Kinnally is a member, have published a new art book “The Art of Naked Genius”. (Modest, aren’t we?) You can see a preview here. No, there’s no nudity.
In addition, Ed managed to get a little blog exposure at the Imagekind blog with his artwork “Sirocco” (in their blog - top row, third from left).

Fine Art Show Presents Opportunity for Arizona Artists to Display Work
Gilbert Visual Art League Announces Its 6th Annual, Juried Fine Art Show
Gilbert, Arizona — July 23, 2008
The Gilbert Visual Artists’ League (GVAL) invites Arizona artists to submit their original artwork for the 6th annual Fine Art Show. The show is hosted at the Gilbert Historical Museum in Gilbert, AZ and will be available for public viewing from November 8 through 22, 2008. The show is judged and juried, includes all mediums and subject matter, and features a non-juried, youth division.
This is GVAL’s second Fine Art Show for 2008. The league chose to move the show date to November so they could coordinate with the Town of Gilbert’s annual Gilbert Days celebration. Many of the club members are Gilbert residents so the change seemed like a natural choice.
Awards will be presented at the show reception on November 16, 2008. Ribbons are awarded to the top three works in each category. In addition, a cash prize is given to Best of Show and Peoples Choice winners. Renowned painter, John Cox, will judge the show. Cox has more than thirty years fine-art experience and has hosted many solo and two-man shows.
Artists interested in submitting work can download the official call for entry at the Gilbert Visual Art League website www.gval.org. All entries must be postmarked by September 27, 2008. Acceptance letters will be mailed starting on October 10, 2008.
The Gilbert Visual Art League’s goal is to create a venue for local artists to show their work and be recognized for their talents. The league strives to increase artistic awareness and appreciation in their community and surrounding areas.

Press Release from 1stangel.co.uk
On the 1st of June 2008 a new book will be on sale in the marketplace. ‘Artistic Expressions’ is the first book from the celebrated series ‘1stAngel Interviews’ and contains art and photographs from new talent.

Member Edward Kinnally compiled a series of short videos on his website at http://www.pixelatedpalette.com/artvideos.html. Have you ever seen an elephant paint? Ever seen art made with BBQ sauce? How about art made with flerrofluidics? Sand art?
You get the idea. Some are humorous, some are serious, but all of them are fun/interesting. Visit the Pixelated Palette and have a look.
Ed is also pleased to announce that he has just been accepted as a juried member of the Arizona Art Alliance, one of the few digital artists in the state to achieve that status.
