It's a Wonderful World


During the holiday season, as the end of the year draws near, we can't help but think of how thankful we are to get the opportunity to work with people like you. At iPrintfromHome.com, we have the pleasure of working with all sorts of different people, but you all share at least one thing in common.

Some of you spend your time observing light and positioning yourself to take photographs at exactly the right moment. Others spend their time in front of easels with paint brushes, pens & pencils...some of you even make your own materials. And still more of you go about your daily lives, working the 9-5 grind, but you have a keen eye and always have camera close by.

No matter which category you fall into (or maybe you don't fall into any), if you're reading this right now, you have the gift of an artist's sensibility. You see beauty in the world and can't help but share it. We're so happy that you choose to share your images with us. After all, it's a wonderful world...

Wishing you the very best this holiday season and in the coming year.

As always, thank you for your continued support of iPrintfromHome.com.

Thanks,
the iPrintfromHome.com team

Fauxtales: a mini-series of drawings by Chuck Tingley


iPrintfromHome.com is pleased to present Fauxtales, a mini-series of drawings by Buffalo artist, Chuck Tingley. Please join us for the opening reception this Wednesday night at iPrintfromHome.com.

Date: Wednesday, October 27th 2010
Time: 5:00pm - 8:00pm
Location: iPrintfromHome.com/the Campos Group
1016 Niagara Falls Blvd.
Tonawanda, NY 14150
On View: October 27 – November 27, 2010

This new body of work shows a continuation of the artist's realistic approach to artwork through his vivid imagination. This exhibit will be his first show with iPrintfromHome.com and will be comprised of 7-9 small to medium pieces using the technique of drawing and collage on canvas. The opening reception of Fauxtales will be held at iPrintfromHome.com on Wednesday, October 27, 2010 from 5-8 pm. The exhibit will be on display through November 27, 2010 and is free and open to the public.

In Fauxtales, Chuck Tingley explores the meaning behind the text in short stories and fairytales by manipulating the character’s physical features in order to transcend the reality of the narrative. Tingley positions his figures in front of a collage of book print, letting the words dictate the story. Through these new works, Tingley takes classic fairytales and stories and makes them his own. The exhibition will be comprised of mixed media on canvas (pencil, paper, collage, canvas).

Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Chuck Tingley is a promising young talent currently working towards his BFA in painting at Buffalo State College. Tingley has been gaining attention on the strength of his unique and emotionally profound style of artwork. Earlier this year, he had his first solo exhibition, Emotional Effusion, at 464 Gallery on Amherst St, Buffalo, NY.
