King Gimp Studio Fundraiser Event on April 1st

My Family and I have decided to open a working studio, not a gallery. We will be holding workshops and private events such as screen printing, wine and canvas nights, and live drawing sessions. We welcome participates of all ages and skill levels, we want to make art accessible to everyone as a tool of expression and bringing people to for fun!

Help us reach our goal so that we can purchase supplies and open shop!

King Gimp Studio is a shop dedicated to providing a fun, educational screen-printing environment for learners and hobbyists of all ages and levels. Learn more about us at facebook.com/kinggimpstudio.

The King Gimp Studio Fundraiser Event on April 1st will be featuring Dan Keplinger drawing live. The completed piece will be raffled at the event and one lucky winner will take it home! Raffle tickets are $50 and all proceeds during the event go towards the purchase of final art supplies required to officially open our shop!

We do offer the option of buying raffle tickets online for those of you who cannot attend or who wish to make donations! The link is https://rallyup.com/king-gimp-studio, any gift that you can offer is appreciated. 

Thank You,
Dan

The Oaks, The land of Oz

The second question this week comes from Dino and he asked what is one of your favorite memories of The Oaks?

For those who do not know the Oaks is where I lived from the age of 5 until I moved on campus at TU and still live 5 minutes from the Oaks today. I have a lot of memories most of them are before everyone started smoking and other stupid shit. Here is a couple that just sticks out. For example, playing wiffle ball in our front yard and the homerun balls would end in the basketball courts be hide Charlie’s house. I would be having so much fun that I would pee myself, because I wanted to stay out. This was before the electric chair days, so I was still was crawling around.
The other memory is when I did have the power chair and pulled everyone up the hills on their skateboards. One night we were up at the Wiz riding around and I tried to make my chair do bunny hops by running into the parking blocks.
