Jack Richeson Honored

The Salmagundi Club of New York recently awarded Jack Richeson, CEO of Jack Richeson & Co, Inc., in Kimberly, WI, the prestigious Salmagundi Club Medal at the Annual Dinner coinciding with the 128^th Annual Members Exhibition.  The medal was designed by Ulysses A. Ricci in 1938 to be awarded to Lay Members for distinguished service to the club.  Since then, recipients have expanded to include non-members whose service to the artist community has been exceptional and who further the ideals espoused by the club.  Previous recipients include Norman Rockwell, Ogden Pleissner and Everett Raymond Kinstler.  Kinstler was the presenter for Jack’s award and regaled the group with humorous anecdotes of his relationship with Jack over the years and of Jack’s many contributions to the artist community.  In addition to the members and their guests, present at the event were a few of Jack’s family.

New Artool BioMech FX Freehand Airbrush Templates

The new BioMech FX Freehand Airbrush Templates designed by Mike Lavallee include Skull Buster and Spinal Trap and were inspired by the 70’s and 80’s sci-fi cinema with bio-mechanical backgrounds and alien creatures.  So you can now experience the biological side of things with alien skulls, spinal columns, bone, teeth and claws and be able to create a plethora of biomechanical images.  Included in this Artool Series is the Tech Support Template, containing several repetitive patterns to replicate a myriad of machined textures.  See more at http://www.iwata-medea.com/index.php/artool/freehand/biomech_fx.
