***Gallery Artist of the Month at The Evening Muse: June 2011 Art at The Evening Muse presents Henry Schreiber. http://www.eveningmuse.com -
This series focuses on the zeitgeist of the postmodern world and zeroes in on the schism between tradition and reality. Like the traditional shamanistic “power animal” these creations present tensile connections to our lives and characters and most importantly to our fantasies and ourselves at play.
**BUSK! is a character-driven documentary in the making about how a city like Charlotte can encourage street art and performance. Your support is needed. http://www.buskmovie.com * http://www.foxcharlotte.com/news/top-stories/QC-Buskers-In-Limelight-119036714.html * http://www.facebook.com/l/97ac6AQoHJERo3nUlr4c35YMikg/IndieGoGo.com/buskmovie * http://www.indiegogo.com/buskmovie
