Although I did not win either award at this year's Art Walk Central, YOU now have a chance to come off as a winner: "Protest" is available for sale, with the purchase price going towards the LaMarcus D. Howard Scholarship, an annual award available to CMU's multicultural community. You have until September 15 so start the bidding! I have a minimum in mind that must be met for this piece to sell.

If you’d like a little slice of art all for your own, head to Roz’s Diner in Rosebush, MI, now through mid-August. I’ve got a ton of work there available for purchase: canvases, 8” squares, and hand-carved linocut stamped magnets and greeting cards for you to tell more people about the art you discovered.

Your life got better already: Corby’s back-stock of art is now 8 bucks each (3+ for 7!) Cheap art could improve everything about you, but I’m not guaranteeing that. So take a look below because in two weeks, I’m priming over these pieces and starting over. The new stuff arrives in Roz’s Diner, Rosebush , MI, July 14.

You know you can buy more Blem art, right? And there is still time to get a little something before Christmas! Let's start with this Hot Dog. Why settle for a crummy landscape when you can have a frankfurter, slathered in a condiment.

Hot Dog! Its not a real hot dog, so lets be up front about that. Its covered with mustard and comes with a whole grain bun. You dont have to actually like those things, but you do have to like the art. I do not recommend eating this, but you can hang it up in your camper and remember all those

So, *this* still exists. It's like a time capsule of ArtPrize past:

Checkered Past: Freshmen Nerds, 1963 by Corby Blem At a thrift store I found a 1963 yearbook. Everyone inside looked like nerds! That's when I decided to turn my family and friends into a giant yearbook of ner

"Checkered Past: Freshmen Nerds, 1963" in its new home at Great Lakes Christian College, Lansing, MI. Thank you, Frank, for your tenacious effort to have artwork seen by a broader audience.
