The making of Fake Jan art.

Last night I rallied to go with the crew to watch some of the Brady Bunch Variety Show clips starring Geri Reischel. Ok, maybe it was Florence Henderson who thought she herself was the star, but Geri had some of the true talent there to be sure. Geri's vibrato was unmatched..

So last night while taking in some of this video overload, I snapped a couple of pics to show what creating the official first piece (of what will be many in the stream of Fake Jan Day/ Geri Reischel) of art for all of the crazy things that will be happening in Bisbee to lead up to Fake Jan Day 2010.

 

Gretchen is shown here sketching the outline of Geri.. 

We watched the art flow...

And at this moment Gretchen is at her studio with Bridget to complete this first piece and have it ready for tonight's event. I am pretty sure they are going to live stream some of tonight on ustream.com so that will be kinda interesting for sure!

And Melissa Reaves got a big hit of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman then she was thrust into Fake Jan total immersion education... she was instantly hypnotized!

 I personally am just impressed I managed to stay up till past midnight for all this wacky gathering.  Like I told Gretchen... I just need to be truly engaged.. than staying up late is easy!
