Preachin' the Galkyd Gospel in the durty Souf


I'm in Birmingham Alabama right now and my current mission is to find the best BBQ this town has to offer. But BBQ is not what brought me here...

Gamblin Artist Colors is an oil paint and mediums company based in Portland OR. Robert Gamblin started his biz back in 1980 out of his garage, brrr. His goal in launching this business was to produce a high quality line of materials for contemporary masters (check) and also educate his fellow artists on color and the materials they use. Not only has Gamblin grown a great company, but he's also recruited a great team of Artist Representatives to help him communicate the relevant yet often overlooked details of color and oil painting. I am proud to be a part of this team of Artist Educators.

So this must be why I am in Alabama. I have four lecture-demos down and one to go. My current mission may be BBQ, but my real goal here in Bama is to reach the artists at U. of Alabama, U. of Montavello and the wonderful attendees at Forstall's Art Center. It may be pulled pork and collards tonight but tomorrow morning, I'm back in the spotlight hustling some mad Gamblin game. Click here to see Gamblin's lecture series schedule. Maybe there's one near you.
