The Enchanted Tin pot
A Short Story - Inspired by Young Women Washing Bent Over River A painting by the artist MendyZ
Kate Woodley looked at the enchanted tin pot in her hands and felt stressed. This was unusual for her. She generally had no qualms, and was calm in her isolated environment. She calmed, then tensed again. Her soft body locking up scared her. Kate whirled around searching for the source. she noticed the cracked window, her potbellied stove, her drying hosiery, and the meager supplies stacked neatly in a corner of her wooden home. A home tucked beneath the mountains shadow.
She sat on the rolled up mat that served as her bed, and felt the bamboo mat reeds beneath her thin gauzy dress. she sighed as the feeling dissipated mildly from her bones. She reached for the simple end table, which only held a candle perched on a volcano of melted wax, and a tin pot. Clinked the spoon as it scraped the bottom and used her whole fist to grip the...

Robotic Abe Lincoln short story inspired by art
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
I, however, was an Abe Lincoln in a strange children’s restaurant. You have to admit, what children is going to want to hear presidential speeches over pizza? Some apparently. I remember that there were even a few kids that looked excited to see George W. Bush talk and talk about “The Pet Goat” to the point where the cassette tapes inside his brain were wearing down. There was every president in this strange Chuck E. Cheese knock-off. There was even George Washington. He got a lot more love than the rest of us, he was treated a bit like a celebrity. George even got a pose, he was like a warrior with his sword and his Star Spangled Banner cape. He got regular maintenance, so he always looked perfect. His face was regularly painted white and he always looked on top of his game.
His voice, unlike the rest of ours, was still crisp perfect....

Summer night in the city sketch drawing short story inspired by art
It is odd to wake up to music. Not, I don't mean, like hearing the music you picked for your alarm clock. That's fairly normal. To hear the first notes of Ode of Joy because you thought it would be ironic to have that as the opening to your first groggy moment of the day. The Ode of Joy playing as you tried to pull yourself out of the warm grasp of your blanket, that's rather normal. Hearing any music as your alarm is normal. It is downright ordinary and, even, possibly the most normal thing on Earth. The most normal thing on Earth is being that you wake up to music from an alarm clock or an alarm on your phone. Odd to imagine that, everyone waking up at similar times to music that they once chose because it was their favourite song and is now their most hated song.
Maybe, at one point when you wake up, someone is listening to the same song as you are. Listening to the exact same guitar or the exact...

Chicago Based Artist MendyZ Proposes New Large Scale Public Art Series
“A huge public art project like this is about bringing art to the people, and making sure that as many people as possible can enjoy it."
(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 08, 2012 ) Chicago, IL -- Public art pieces have been regarded as an enriching influence on society since ancient times. Publically displayed pieces by artists such as Robert Indiana and Henry Moore have become iconic symbols of the areas they are situated in. Displaying art in public places represents an essential democratization of art, taking it out of stuffy and elitist galleries and putting it in full view of the masses.
This is why it is particularly apt that proposed public art pieces by Chicago based artist MendyZ deal with themes of Chicago equality. MendyZ is seeking funding for this series of vast outdoor canvasses on Kickstarter, a popular “crowd funding” website where entrepreneurs and other funding seekers appeal to...

Interview with MendyZ on Life as a Fine Art Resident Artist for a Chicago Art Gallery
Mendy Zimmerman, or MendyZ, has a captivating face and enticing hands. His face is a bit more entrancing than Spiderman (Hollywood actor Tobey Maguire), it is perfectly proportioned, and his green-grey eyes change subtly with his mood--with a dimple to boot. He uses his hands to gesture and drive home his points with pin-point accuracy to compound the thoughtful words he uses. The two cause you to flick your eyes from face to hand while he makes his points on art. He speaks in an eloquent and complex English language only reminiscent of my own daily-use English, with an interesting mix of Midwestern newscaster appeal and a restrained New York edge. We are sitting in his art studio only three hours before the creation of his spectacular large 'Lady Liberty' painting which pulls him from a 10 month stretch of art creation on everything imaginable into the lull of his current showing at...

Mendy Zimmerman (Mendyz.com), the Resident fine art artist at Exclusive Canvas Art | A Chicago Art Gallery (ExclusiveCanvasArt.com), has been touted as charming, obsessive, bad at dating, messy, serious, a poet and in love, and more by recent reviews. His artwork are primarily paintings that centralize around humans via portraits, figures, or human struggles and emotions, and are fantastic to look at. They internalize themselves rapidly, and speak volumes with an extremely high return per square inch of canvas. His personality is on par with those winning people's choice awards, and his work is highly sought after by those who take a moment to breath and investigate his artwork. It has been questioned as...

It depicts a woman running down a dark street with some bright light. I feel she is running from something. Our world is full of dangers, and this woman is feeling the danger. One can feel especially vulnerable in urban spaces. We all seek the safety of our own homes. The sense of the woman's motion conveys an urgency. The bright lights, and what...
