One more huge post for the Hammond Clan

On this Thanksgiving week, I have one more thank you.
 
A huge Thank you to my wife Dr. Jana Hammond ed.D., a beautiful and talented writer and teacher; Alex, my
son, a new High Schooler in the hardest college courses (and doing wonderfully); and Eden, my daughter in the 2nd grade,
who works hard at school and at her hours and hours a week at her new dance company (South Beach
Dance Academy). I love you all more than I have ever known possible.
 
You have all given me hope and strength and LOVE these greatest years of my life.
 
Give Thanks this week to your precious gifts.

Fall Art Season

Wow. Thank you so much to all of the artwriters, galleries, and collectors who have been so supportive of
my career this fall and since I started this crazy career. This fall has been amazing. The Annapolis show
has just been more than I could have ever dreamed of or expected.
 
I want to say thank you to Michelle and Henry of Spanish River Grill who purchased  10 paintings for their amazing
restaurant and lighted them perfectly. Also, to my framers Cliff and Paulette Wharin who make the paintings look 10 times
better than they are (maybe not 10, but still). And to all my consistent and new clients across the country
that have made these hard times not so hard for me and my family.
 
I have kept my 2009 schedule as open as I can. So, there is no solo planned as of yet. This will allow me to build up
inventory across the country and work on the Instrucciones Para.. and Bee Cliche, The Honeybee Project for 2010.
These are huge endeavors and I look forward to breakin those out.
 
Oh yeah, I do have a little solo in Chelsea in New York to intro the Instrucciones Para work. On that note, the test
for the Honeybee show at Wynn Bone Gallery was a complete success. 5 of the 8 Bee paintings have already sold. So, on
with the Bees. A special thanks to Doug McGuinnes of Tropic Bee Honey for all of his support and to Atlantic Center for the Arts
for what is to come.
 
Two more things: All my prayers and thoughts to Joe and Lynn Conte as they completely change their family for the future. God
bless the Conte family. AND My great relief as Sam Stewart has had a successful surgery on his cancer in Charlotte. These are
great clients and friends.
 
I am so happy to be doin what I'm doin and to have all your support.
 
Take care, and keep in touch.

New Business Plan

Hey everyone,
I am excited to announce the new business plan.
 
It is vague for all of you at this time, but I will let you in on the details as they progress.
 
The business of art on my homefront will be broken into three divisions:
1.Bryce Hammond: These are my paintings that retain the original market value. Value continues to increase over the years for these originals.
2.Bard Handstorm: This is the collaborative project with several artists and assistants that create original art for lower price points.
3. brycehammondart: This is the installation side of my company. This will include painting, sculpture, drawing, prints, and installation art that
will be space specific. Many proceeds from this project will go to nonprofit organizations.
 
Well that is the vague rundown. I will keep you all posted.
