Please vote for me... Rawartist - raw awards

http://www.rawartists.org/natedee

Hi all, if you remember i took part in an art exhibition roughly 3 months ago called RAW:Blend. The one night show was a success with a turnout of hundreds and as a result I sold 2 original pieces which was an added bonus.

Now that the Raw organization is ending their exhibiting season they are focusing on the Raw awards which is a national competition among those that got into their shows and exhibited. Over the next two weeks all artists take part in online voting per city... the 10 with the most votes move onto the semi finals for that city  in which they are judged by local creative celebrities and industry professional. They will choose 5 of those 10 to move onto the national competition. The benefit of winning the nationals is that the winner will receive a career building prize package... this includes gallery placement, services, consultations, business solutions, and national exposure.

This will be an amazing opportunity to really jump my art career forward ... so i ask that you please go to the link above and vote for me... you just need to register for an account (this only takes a minute or two) then you can vote for me once a day from today to October 15. (if u manually need to search you can do so by city, just choose miami... and I'm on the 2nd page)

AS YOU ALL KNOW, my goal is to be able to do my art full time and this is an opportunity to do so.. thanks for your continual support and please pass this on to your friends!

future classic interview with nate dee and blackheart couture

JahFe Live - Black Heart Couture - Miami Future Classic Festival @ Yahoo! Video

so when i did the future classic show i did an interview with a couple of pretty cool cats... looks like its been edited and put it on their respective websites... thanks to the good folks at artisticats for the exposure!

adding my two cents to the pile of change left on Art Basel miami

So it's Monday... i am still fighting the remnants of fatigue left by the four day whirlwind that is Miami Art Basel. Overall i will say I had a great time.... in years past i would go to the big show at the convention center and 1 or two openings/events. This year I reside myself to go as hard as possible in the afternoons and nights, while continuing to be an active and contributing member of the workforce at my day job..... what a mistake.. lol

With the previous said and done.. three nods, three cheers, and a tip of the hat go to the organizers, city officials, police, artists, and all others that took part in this mega cultural marathon. With as many people that where in miami from north miami to coral gables... all things ran smoothly.

bellow are the shows and event i saw/ attended in no particular order:

AquaMiami
Mutiversal art show
Graffiti Gone Global by SushiSamba
Art show @ O.H.W.O.W
Eat your art out by MSG
Charcoal Gallery New Brow show
Scope Miami
Foci Gallery
Art Basel big show @ the convention center
Imaginary Friends
Foci Gallery show
Transit Lounge Party
Mural Park featuring public works
Art Miami
Artcenter of Florida's new brow show
First Flight Group Graffiti wall off of sw 7th ave and 34th

all were great.... the stand outs would have to be AquaMiami and the Scope miami show... they by far where hands down the two best shows of the weekend.

side notes I actually met artists el Mac & Retna while they were doing an amazing mammoth sized mural just off of 195 and I95... they are really some laid back super cool guys. I also met Mear one at the Scope show.... he has gotta be one of the most humble human being I've met in my life... I was truly impressed and honored. Above are some pictures from the weekend.... enjoy!

Miami must see's for Art Basel weekend

In addition, custom furniture designed by the several of the participating artists will be available for purchase.
