The City of Brea Art Gallery is pleased to host Watercolor West’s Annual International Juried
Exhibition. Taking watercolor painting to a new level of difficulty, Watercolor West Society continues to exclusively feature transparent watercolor paintings. They do not allow artists to introduce any white paint into their work; they can only use the white from their paper. This year’s juror, Jerry Stitt, is a renowned painter, teacher, and author as well as a member of several watercolor societies worldwide. The gallery will exhibit 100 fine watercolor paintings selected from over 1,000 entries submitted from a global community of artists. Watercolor West will organize a series of fascinating, reasonably priced seminars to compliment the exhibition.

Our Story:
Machinima is animation using a game or virtual world engine to create real time action. My associate, Wayne Graves, produced a short series called AV451 for under $400 and poor equipment. Now, our goal now is to do the full-length film with hired talent and proper equipment to give it a crisper, more professional look. Backed by a quality animated film, we are gearing up to start a small online machinima community with writing classes and collaborative projects to further the art.

The AV451 story:
Lieutenant Maverick Burke awakes from cryogenic sleep to find no operating crew and the ship in the hands of a pirate clan. The ex special ops officer finds himself responsible for the remaining passengers of Colonial Transport AV451 and the dark secret it holds.

I wrote the below manifesto before the internet, before people like Annie Sprinkle reclaimed the word “porn” for life affirming art, before VIMEO, really before a lot of things. I am bringing it back from the vault because I am starting a new group on VIMEO, NUDE PERFORMANCE ART, DANCE AND VIDEO. There is a ton of what I called below EROART of all kinds on VIMEO.

For the past 6 years, we have been running with the title ADVENTURES FOR THE AVERAGE WOMAN, which was meant as a tongue-in-cheek commentary about how women often feel about themselves and their abilities. In truth, no woman should ever feel average, and several have expressed as much about our magazine’s title. So, in the spirit of respect for our readers’ and critics’ opinions, we are now going to adopt the title IDEAGEMS MAGAZINE. We will still remain the showcase for all the undiscovered literary and artistic treasures out there. Moreover, we are staying true to our mission to give writers their first break in the world of publishing.
