A Quick Note

Here's just a quick note about the series. Since Keeping the Lights On is no longer on Ropeadope TV, the previously posted links to KTLO videos on that site no longer work. Please do not go to Ropeadope looking for the series -- you will not find it there!

My sincere apologies to anyone who has gone there only to find videos that have nothing to do with Keeping the Lights On. I have been trying to get this problem fixed to no avail. It is out of my control.

But fear not! You can watch all installments of Keeping the Lights On right here on this site.

Installment 1 - George Ferrandi

Installment 2 - Joy Drury Cox

Installment 3 - Ishah Janssen-Faith

Enjoy...

George Ferrandi Featured In NYFA Current

KTLO's first featured artist, George Ferrandi, is the subject of a fantastic write up by fellow artist and friend, Miguel Luciano, in the latest issue of NYFA Current (the free bi-monthly magazine of the New York Foundation for the Arts). If you paid attention to the credits attached to This Is Our Moment then Miguel's name should sound familiar to you. He, like George, helped conceive and paint the mural which that film documented.

It really is a wonderful piece on George and I urge you to check it out. It gives some beautiful insight into the ways George's day job work overlaps with her artwork -- and vice-versa -- and offers a perfect take on the themes and overall essence of this talented artist's work.
