Our multitalented Producer, Leasha, has just had one of her photographs selected by the 33 Collective Gallery for their 5th Annual National Self-Portrait Exhibition!  It will hang at the gallery (located in the Zhou B. Art Center, 1029 W. 35th Street, Chicago, 60609) from May 15 - June 11.  The opening reception will be on Friday, May 15th from 7-10 p.m.  Leasha not only keeps the rest of Team Elledge focused and efficient, but she also finds the time to cook amazing meals, tend a very neat garden and take some amazing photographs.  You can view her work on her website at www.leasha.com.

 

And speaking of Leasha, she was thrilled that her favorite Moto GP racer - Valentino Rossi - won the Gran Premio De Espana race on Sunday.  Paul was also glad to see Valentino defeat Dani Pedrosa on his home turf, but it stung a little to watch his beloved Team Ducati place 3rd (Casey Stoner) and 15th (Nicky Hayden).  As the season progresses the Leasha/Valentino (Team Fiat Yamaha) and Paul/Casey (Team Ducati Marlboro) rivalry will definitely be heating up in the Elledge studio.  Not to mention how things will get once Nicky Hayden gets on track.  They are both big fans of Nicky (but for arguably different reasons).

 

 

Revolver Magazine

 

If you can get your hands on a copy of the April Revolver magazine you will find one of Paul's pictures in the Visions of Disorder section.  Paul was honored to have his work for the Ministry album Psalm 69 recognized as one of "metal's greatest album covers."  Here at the Elledge studio, we listen to just about every genre of music you can think of, and being recognized for contributing complimentary visual elements to great music is quite an honor.

 

Finally, we occasionally come across a contemporary artist whose work makes us say, "Gosh, I wish I had thought of that first."  Jay Johnson is one such artist, and we have been enjoying the results of his artistic endeavors.  Click HERE for an interesting 13 minute short about him (but be sure to check out his individual sites listed at the bottom of the page).
