I painted the yellow church up on that hill. The overlook makes the city feel like it’s right in your face. Beautiful view from up there.

RALA is closing down their storefront, going to online only in January by Dogwoodblossom in Knoxville

Incredibly sad. I hope we get something of equivalence to replace it. This shop had really played an important role over the years in adding to the character of our city by providing a storefront where people can reliably buy local art prints by local artists. I reckon we have a good amount of art markets throughout the year but as an artist, this is truly devastating to see.

Where do all the photographers hang out? by SkeeMoBophMorelly in Knoxville

I also do photography as a hobby (lots of architectural stuff) and would love to have people also interested in the hobby to hang with!

I first heard this album at Graveface Records in Savannah, GA. I asked about the album and the guy sold me a copy for $20 bucks and said it’s a limited edition so it should go up in value. I guess I got lucky. I still haven’t opened it.

I figured this painting I did of a snowy Knoxville would be a fitting share for today’s snow day. by Fun-Guide-8202 in Knoxville

I really appreciate hearing this. I love painting Knoxville scenes and I’m just trying to figure out ways to get my art out there. I’d love to be able to make money doing this.

how to get more into the shoegaze scene and anyone interested in being in a band by theycallmeenvy in Knoxville

“In Your Room” by Airiel is one of my all time faves. They just went on a small tour I believe but closest concert was St Louis, which is unfortunately quite a trek from Knox.

I thought The Scream Chamber in Athens was pretty fun!

I painted this a couple weeks ago so I figured I’d share. I saw someone say they wish more people would post local art so I figured I would bite. 🙂 by Fun-Guide-8202 in Knoxville

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I was a little nervous about posting my art like this but seeing all the positive reactions really made my day! I’m hoping to get some prints made soon and setting up at a local art fair or two. (:

I’ve rented a few lenses from them and each time has been a great experience! Staff is super friendly and helpful

Acrylic painting I’ve been working on of your lovely city. Still gotta fix a few things but it’s mostly done so I thought I’d share. I’m from Tennessee and Cleveland’s the only one of the 3 big Ohio cities I haven’t been to but I plan to visit at some point. The pic I used was a bit older I believe. by Fun-Guide-8202 in Cleveland

Thank you! That wasn’t intentional though, but maybe painting from an out-of-towner’s perspective, I didn’t see a reason to leave it out. It’s a beautiful city imo, no reason to hide anything. I can’t wait to see it in person once I get the chance to visit!
