Secret ArtWorks 2013

Once again I have painted a card for the Secrets Show. 
I know I am not supposed to show you the work- it being a secret and all, but here is a shot of the card.


It is not a great photo and really the other side is more exciting, but if you want to see it you had better show up and check it out. It is a happening party.
Click to buy tickets
Click to see the cards online.    Last I looked, mine was not showing, as I turned mine in about two weeks after the deadline- that is just how secret mine is. Anyway, if you saw it, you would know it is mine.

Shown above is my entry for last years event, a painting that kick started the basement series which will be on view this Saturday at Gallery 42.

Psssst, Pssssst

Once again it is time for Secret Artworks.

Below are two Secrets cards I did a few years ago. I can't show the card I did this year, but I can tell you it is very cool.




Secret ArtWorks: The Masters

 The Party Starts Next Friday (Nov. 18th!)

Still haven't made plans to attend Secret ArtWorks: The Masters? Here are 3 reasons why you should:
  1. You could be the proud new owner of brand new, original work of art by some of the best artists from Cincinnati to Columbia!
  2. Proceeds from Secret ArtWorks supports ArtWorks programming! That means your money will help ArtWorks employ youth and artists, and engage the community to create public art that will transform our city! 
  3. It's a lot of fun! There's food, drinks, live music, and a room full of art-loving individuals like yourself!

Luschek Reveals All in Record Setting Auction

"Sold for $520 million to Scarlet Johansson in the front row!" 

Unfortunately for you, I have yet to unleash my collection of life sized nude self portraits on the world. We can only imagine what a smash hit that would be. Records would be broken I am sure, but the above simulation of this fantasy was staged just for this blog post. Thanks to Sotheby's for their cooperation.


Actually, I do have some work in an online auction. The auction is being hosted by Brigham Galleries online. A percentage of sales go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, an international charity raising awareness for breast cancer [http://ww5.komen.org/]

While a preview of this auction was held last week in New York, the auction is still going on. If you are interested  log in and place a bid.

Above is the painting available for auction shown in its frame. Let the bidding war begin!
I discussed this painting last month in a post, basically explaining how complicated life can be.
