Our dear friend Joe Weinshenker, aka Camera 1 Photo, is being laid to rest tomorrow. Covid restrictions are making in person visitation difficult, so we will do our best to find a way to honor him at a less restrictive time.

"Joe was a Jew with a special Neshama who was proud of his Yiddishkeit (Judaism), always enjoyed learning, exploring and celebrating his Jewish heritage.

Unfortunately he passed away with no immediate family around to care for him and no income to cover the costs to ensure he receives a proper Levaya (Funeral) and Kevurah (Burial) according to Jewish traditions as he would have wished to arrange.

We are working to collect funds to cover the most basic costs of the funeral to ensure he receives the proper last respects he deserves."

all funds will go towards the funeral expenses any above will be donated to Joe's Temple.

thank you everyone

Everything is permitted because nothing is true. It is all make-believe, illusion, dream...ART. When art leaves the frame and the written word leaves the page - - not merely the physical frame and page, but the frames and pages of assigned categories - - a basic disruption of reality itself occurs: the literal realization of art. Every dedicated artist attempts the impossible. Success will write APOCALYPSE across the sky. The artist aims for a miracle. The painter wills his picture to move off the canvas with a separate life, movement outside of the picture, and one rent in the fabric is all it takes for pandemonium to slice through. All that you believe in art is the confidence of each individual artist and their freedom to create...why would someone stop us, and f**k those that try...

A strikingly strange and unconventional, sometimes capricious, always exquisite artist, who specializes in sensual portraiture, and erotically charged paintings.

Fang Ling Lee is a contemporary artist, progressive painter, and sensual sculptor. Her exhibitions in galleries, museums and well carved niche in the adult, and comic industries have given her an eclectic and international following. Having cultivated a successful career in the art world, Fang has now shifted her expertise and creative skillset towards film, joining the crew of “The Redman” as lead production designer.

Raised in an artistic family from Brooklyn, NY, Fang Ling Lee has exhibited in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami, and New York City. Private collectors, as well as celebrities such as award winning adult star, and director Jenna Haze, and the Marc Sorrentino from MTV's “Jersey Shore”, have purchased her art, and the Erotic Heritage Museum in las Vegas includes Fang’s painting “Pet” in it's permanent collection.

Most recently, Fang was commissioned to design, and cast the “Fanny” statuette for E###OTICA Expo’s Fan Choice Awards, where she was also a presenter. This relationship has also spawned countless trade show appearances, and the upcoming project "XOXO - Erotica With A Cause", in conjuction with DuJour Marketing. Designed to bring social awareness to the erotic art world, and benefit local charities, it is a special project close to the artist's heart.

“The artwork of Fang Ling Lee focuses on symbolic imagery conceived in large-scale paintings. Her work, of which “Almost “is a fine example, shows a union of realism and abstraction in its depiction of female figures laden with symbolic importance. Specializing in a notably sensual form of portraiture, her erotically charged images transform the viewer to vo**ur, tempting them with a new vibrant fantasy.” - Fab.com

I was born in a sunny region of Germany and grew up in Bruehl by the river Rhein close to Heidelberg.
Thanks to my imaginative mother and grandfather, I have a kind of underlying creative impatience that is
driving me to change. I experienced this also in my youth, resulting me
changing hobbies frequently. They always encouraged me to let creativity flow.
So I indulged in painting, drawing, paper Mache, clay art, dough art, and photography I moved to
Chicago in 1996 where I flourished, unfolded and found myself and I’ve been here ever since, and
Chicago has become my second home. The craft of jewelry making was brought to me in 2000
through my dear friend Saraid who showed me how to use pliers and jewelry wire. I was fascinated and intrigued
at once and I knew I had to learn and master this magical craft. Designing Jewelry and following my senses
is a great joy for me. It calms my mind and it’s been the longest hobby I ever persuade. I filled my studio with lots of
stimulating material from all kinds of origins to feel surrounded by magical energy.
What helps me in defining a jewelry piece and the color combination is to just look around. I center my jewelry piece in the middle of my table and open
my eye and draw my inspirations from everything I see and feel by collection beads, shells, objects in different colors and schemes
around my new piece till it feel right and complete. Sometimes ideas just come to me and sometimes I need more stimulus to trigger the right combination.
Not every piece that I love makes it into a finished product because they just don’t feel right. They are lovely but they have not the right feel to
them yet and maybe never will. I keep them and sometimes they call for me and I find the right balance to make them feel right and perfect after all.
