While doing some huipil related research on Pinterest, I stumbled on The Royal Art Lodge. Wow! Their work was so entertaining that I couldn’t concentrate on anything else. The Royal Art Lodge was a group of Canadian artists who met once a week to collectively make small scale drawings and paintinngs. Founded in 1996, they disbanded in 2008.
Their absurdist paintings are a kind of happy Gothic full of humor and wit. During the six years they collaborated together, The Royal Art made a remarkably huge collection of art so full of energy and charm that it makes me smile.

The Narrative Within 
Loving all the wonderful art you bring to my Northwest Indiana home. I feel part of a community that I have so longed for. Even though there are many subscribers, I feel that you personally send me love and art. Thanks. The article about the gentleman was interesting. Makes me want to start my own art lodge!
Thanks Miki! I read where the 3 of the lodge met once a week at a member’s house and would sit together at the diningroom table to draw and paint together….maybe you could do something similar in Indiana? Like a sewing bee with paints instead of threads. Hugs!
inspireatrice… e come sempre queste “tipi di arte” me li sento cosi vicine e svegliano in me la voglia di fare… e credere che l’arte è per tutti e in tutti di noi cè molto potenziale creativo da essere esporato ma sopratutto che ci splode dentro!
es el momento de encerrarse dentro de tu estudio!
