GEARING UP TO CARVE!

Just because I haven't carved in a while doesn't mean I haven't t been brewing things internally. When I got back at it after my last break, I worked on 5 sculptures at once. Boom! Boom! Boom! While I've been percolating, my friend Klara Thomkins has been helping me create a new website & get started with Instagram - @eugeniespirito - for which I am forever grateful to her.  Like many of you, her friendship is very dear to me. Feel free to view my work on the site, and to follow me on IG. I appreciate it.

VENTURA ART WALK - SCULPTURE FOR CANCER

Luigi and I had a lovely time at the Ventura Art walk this past weekend, After a quick visit to the annual Pooch Parade (sponsored by C.A.R.L. - Canine Adoption Rescue League), we stopped by Art City to give our support to our friend and fellow sculptor, the super-talented Joanne Duby. Proceeds for the gorgeous pink sculpture will be donated to Breast Cancer Awareness/Research. I hope to be back up there soon, carving again!

UNITY MAGAZINE

Last November Unity Magazine notified me that they would be featuring me and my art in their 'Sustainability' issue. Well, after months of waiting, the magazine is out and I am stoked!  Everyone at the magazine was incredible, so efficient and professional. Thank you for a great Birthday gift!!!

A NOBLE TRUTH…MARBLE

This past Friday, Lou and I were fortunate to go to see the the premier of our friend, Harry Hamlin's   new movie, The Fourth Noble Truth.  It's a love story with lots of Buddhist information as the backdrop. Beautifully shot, well acted and important...we really enjoyed it. And getting to spend a bit of time with Harry and his amazing wife Lisa Rinna is always a special treat.

After a too-long hiatus helping Lou retool his book, I am gearing up to start a new carving project. My dear friend, Zari, has given me a 300 lb block of white carrara marble that I start carving at Art City in Ventura very soon. I can't wait; it has been far too long.
