December 20, 2013

Your PopCulteer finally managed to hit a nearly-full line up of galleries last night at the Holiday ArtWalk, the final one of the year. We’re going to bring you a bunch of photos but the text might be a little light this week. Things are still holiday-hectic around Stately Radio Free Charleston Manor.

We’re starting out this photo essay with a few shots from Jake Fertig’s post-ArtWalk show over at Rival Cards and Games in Kanawha City. Jake has jsut started contributing animation to Radio Free Charleston (you can see his work in the previous two episodes) and he’s currently hard at work on a six-part epic for future installments of RFC.

You’ll see some of what he’s been up to in the last month, plus some artwork that will make its way into his cartoons.

After that, we’re just going gallery-hopping.

The Purple Moon

Always a must-stop place for ArtWalk, we ran into so many friends and had so many conversations going that we forgot to head upstairs.  This is only part of the coolness at The Purple Moon.

That’s it for the December 2013 ArtWalk photo essay. Check PopCult tomorrow for a new RFC Flashback, and on Sunday, it’s a double-shot of Sunday Evening Video. The RFC MINI SHOW is taking Christmas week off, but all our other regular features will be here in some form or another.
