Meet the Big Swanky Artists

We’ve officially made it through the first two days of the Big Swanky Art Camp and we’re having a great time!

Take a moment to meet the Big Swanky artists…

Meet Alicia, she really likes sketching celebrities… especially Justin Bieber.

Meet Allie, she’s really into flowers, weddings, makeup, and hearts. You could say she’s “all girl”.

Meet Ashley, she enjoys spending time with her buddies. She likes cats and rainbows.

Meet Chris, he really likes Pokémon and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Meet David, if he could do anything in the whole-wide-world, he would work at the HP call center.

Meet Joy, she would like to be a zoo keeper someday. She’s really into canines. 

Meet Kayslee, if she could do anything she would write wish fulfillment novels. You know, novels about wishes being fulfilled.

Meet Lindsay, she knows a lot about Johnny Depp.

Meet Matt, he really likes tractors and mowing. He’s a total gentleman.

Meet Sarah, she’s precious.

Meet Vanessa, she wants to be an art teacher someday.

Check out these great pics from the last few days…

Stay tuned! We’ll continue to post photos as the week goes on!

The Big Swanky Art Project

We’ve been working on something big and it’s officially time for us to share it with you.  Our newest venture is something we’re calling The Big Swanky Art Project. Youth & Family Services, Inc. and AutismOklahoma.org have partnered to create a sort of “next step” to Bee’s Knees. The artists of Bee’s Knees along with 5 additional artists are teaming up over the next week to create an all new original collection of collaborative masterpieces. The artists participating will be mentored by local professional artists and the experience will culminate into an official exhibit we’re calling The Big Swanky Art Show at the Paseo Gallery Walk on the evening of Friday, July 6th from 6PM-10PM. The exhibit will be at Rainbow Fleet Childcare Resource and Referral. (Click on the image to check out the Facebook event page!) 

As we work together to create a beautiful brand new collection of masterpieces, we’ll be posting photos of the experience throughout the week. Stay posted to learn more about the project and how you can get your hands on some of the art work.

Official Fan Club President Birthday

In case you didn’t know, today is the official birthday of the official Bee’s Knees Fan Club President… the official Dee Blose. This is a picture of her and David at our Expressions of Independence show in 2010.

We love her and are so thankful for what a great friend she is to Bee’s Knees.

In honor of Dee, we created these very special custom birthday cards…

Chris: “The one in the blue is Dee. The guys in brown are Allie, Brandon, and Ashley. That guy in the yellow… that’s me.”

Ashley: “This is a rainbow. That’s Dee in the purple and me in the pink.”

David: “That’s Dee, sitting in a hot tub. On the top is cheesecake and balloons.”

Allie: “I made a flower-heart for Dee.”

Matt: “Circles.”

Lindsay: “This is a flower from my home.”

Not long ago we went out for a very special Fan Club President Birthday dinner. We’re pleased to present to you the…
