I wish I were more of a Pepsi or Mountain Dew fan in times like this (Coke really is tons better!). However, I was still bummed when I missed the chance to buy the Throwback when it came out earlier in 2009 and excited to hear they released it again. I like this packaging better anyway. I'll have to save some cans since that old Pepsi logo is a classic. Also available is "Dr. Pepper Heritage", but I passed on that.
I understand this has been out for awhile already, so if you want some you'd better get out and get it.
DeGrazia ceramics were made from original molds. His inspirations were taken from desert shapes and colors. Many of these ceramics had a special glaze he created. One of the main ingredients to the glaze was oxidized copper. After this was added, the ceramics had to be fired in a kiln at an extremely high temperature in order for them to turn the beautiful blue turquoise color DeGrazia was best known for. Happy Throwback Thursday!
We are pleased to announce our upcoming exhibit "Modernist Ceramics of Ted and Marion DeGrazia”! An opening reception for the exhibit will be held from 5-7 pm on Friday, September 2nd, 2016, at the Gallery in the Sun.
February of 2020 marked the first time I ever visited the Florida Funnel, and this was actually the last photo I took in FL before crossing into Georgia for the first time ever. Here's M441 fresh into the sunshine state back on that cool late-February day
Two years ago, to the day, I was wrapping up the last few days on a guided tour through the island of Honshu in Japan. I am not normally a fan of guided tours that feel like a roller coaster ride, especially in a country like Japan where you can barely peel the surface of the complex subcultures of this diverse country. Between language barriers, the lack of any planning effort, or large mob mentality, I could never grasp the history and origins of a particular culture or place and thereby immerse myself as I normally try to do. It may not have been the right way to travel in Japan, but considering it was also one last goodbye to many friends whom I have known dearly for two years, it was worth the tradeoff.
Despite these barriers, I still felt a sensory overload: visual, aural, and oral. There was just so much happening on this whirlwind of a trip through different places, and the smells, the sights, and the sounds have taken quite a bit of time for my brain to process. My camera managed to preserve certain moments of time while the journal managed to capture some of the memories and emotions I felt as I traveled through very diverse locales and cities. And yet, I feel that I have barely scratched the surface of the experiences I have had.

another throwback pic...this time in Queens '08.
My extended family, a bunch of fools...like me! hahaha
My interpretation of throwback was something that is an older version of something still used today. This is an old coke bottle from the 1930s.
DeGrazia remembered well the criticism he received in those early days from people who thought his art was no good. They did not like how DeGrazia followed his own rules in art. On one occasion, DeGrazia was sitting Rosita's Mexican restaurant (located next to his gallery) and a man walked in and shouted to him from across the room. He said," Hey! You DeGrazia?!" DeGrazia did not reply, and kept talking with his friend. The man, who obviously did not like DeGrazia, strode over to DeGrazia's table and interrupted him. He said to DeGrazia, "You're that guy who thinks you can paint on whatever you want, right? No rules, you just do whatever you want!" DeGrazia still did not say anything. There was a basket of tortillas on the table, so DeGrazia took one out and began to paint it. When he finished, he took his brush and he autographed the angry man's clean, white shirt. Before the man stormed out, cursing at DeGrazia, the only thing DeGrazia said to him was, "Now I have painted on everything." The man did not bother to take his original tortilla painting with him, so DeGrazia kept it and it is also on display at the Gallery In the Sun. Happy Throwback Thursday!
I love the big buttons on this thing! And the kickstand!? I remember sooo many old things having a kickstand just like this one when I was a kid. Sure brought back memories...
DeGrazia said, “When I say I am intimately acquainted with every adobe in my studio, I mean it. I put them up. And as I felt the need for more room, I added another studio–-–one for display, one for painting, one for ceramics, one for living quarters.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
