Moved into New Digs
What a long hot June In Alabama! I have not fallen off the planet--Just been busy healing from ankle surgery, and closing on one property and buying and moving into a new wonderful location in Birmingham. The new place is on the south side of Birmingham in an old Birmingham landmark and there is an indoor pool, a cabana for entertaining and a fabulous rooftop terrace with the very best view of the city. My webmaster is here helping me with the monumental task of replacing everything I lost in last December's house fire and buying and setting up a state of the art computer office and receiving deliveries from EVERYWHERE and hanging all the art--you get the picture. Finally I am back on line and catching up on a gadzillion emails.
Tim Burton is having an incredible installation of his work both in film and in all mediums of graphic art brought together in a grand retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in N.Y.C. It opens November 22, 2009 and I will, through Tim's arrangement, be on hand for all the festivities surrounding the opening. Three of the major films I did with Tim will be shown as well as STAIN BOY, the internet series in which I did a majority of the voices will be in two theaters within the Museum as well as the major art installation. Very great honor for Burton that I am proud to have a small part in....
Doing a wonderful film called FINDING GAUGUIN with an exciting cast of, mostly ,European actors that will begin filming in early August on Maui. The Taicher Brothers are behind this venture. Robert Taicher will executive produce the film which will be directed by his brother Don Taicher. More news on the cast and details as they become available. It is based on real events and set in the South Seas in 1903. Very pleased to be back at work on a feature film with wonderful artists all around.
Preparing for glennshadix.com to present the first major exhibition of Daddy Chuck Hall, a southern gothic primitive artist who does construction art as well as paintings and various collages in several mediums. It will be up before I leave for Maui and should be an exciting addition to the site. I photographed over forty pieces of his work last week and Gary and I are hard at work preparing for this major talent to be brought into the light of the internet.
Thanks to everyone who has emailed me at ninemooncorp@aol.com. Your love, support and encouragement has been a real comfort during this high stress time between homes.
The site will be back with new goodies very shortly!
