    PRISMA Artist CollectivePRISMA is a bad ass artist collective of 25 international creatives who have gathered to engage in active discussion and collaboration. PRISMA brings together artists of all ages and at all stages of their career – some established; others up-and-coming and just beginning to break through. It is the group’s ambition to encourage collaborations and friendship, and to make the collective a place to foster and inspire each other.

    The PRISMA Artist Collective is currently planning its first annual group show The Animal In Me in 2013, as well as two “warm-up” shows with a handful of select artists in 2012.

    I am honored and excited to be part of this group. All of the artists are incredibly talented, amazing (and just plain nice!) and it feels great to be in such good company. A special thanks goes to group founder Kaspian Shore for rounding us all up and working so hard to make things happen.

    Here’s a list of who’s in the club…

    hDL Mag cover Michael Shapcott's PeleThat’s the slogan for “hDL” – Home Design & Life Style – a high-end magazine that features the latest trends in fashion, design, lifestyle, and art (the last issue showed off artwork from the incredible Tamara Muller!). My painting, Pele, made it on the cover of their latest issue – my first magazine cover! The publication is from Israel and when the production manager, Gil, sent me a copy, I expected that it would be in Hebrew but it was still a little surprising to open the cover on the left side (the issue reads right to left)! There is an awesome spread with some of my older work and I completed an interview which you can read in English here. I’m not quite sure what was said about me. All I know are the questions that were given and answered so if anyone knows Hebrew, please let me know what they are saying! You can view images of the full feature by visiting the press page on this website.

    Curry's Art Store newsletter with Michael ShapcottAND I know that I’m a little late in posting this since we’re nearing the end of summer but I’d still like to share… I’ve been selected as the artist of the month for the summer issue of Curry’s ArtWise, a really great e-publication/newsletter from Curry’s Art Store located in Ontario, Canada. The issue includes four paintings – Pele, Girl and the Owl, Going West, and Auburn – and I offer my personal thoughts and inspirations behind each piece. Check out my newsletter feature, Curry’s tips and techniques, words of inspiration, and more here.
