“One cold, stormy January night somewhere deep within the forest, far far away from seemingly civilized human world, gathered the most outspoken representatives of all animal tribes. They have gathered there with a clear mission: to let their stories be heard in the human world. After hours of heated discussions – full of anger, pain and disappointment, the animals have decided. They would unleash a weapon that would be heard by both ears and hearts of humans. For this special mission they chose one human-like beast they named IFEEL." www.MusicIFEEL.com

STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFO CHECK:
D.C. artist Dana Ellyn is a DC resident and full-time painter who lives and paints in her studio in an artist housing unit in downtown Washington DC. Ellyn documents the political, social and cultural events of the day with the humor of a satirist, the mind of an informed citizen and the color and brush strokes of an engaging artist who is serious about her work. With her political work, she is story-teller, a modern day town crier, documenting current events. Ellyn values her fine arts training continually but works on peeling away the art school compulsion to make, and hide behind, pretty pictures. Meats oozing red liquid...tendons...skinned creatures stretched-out in a deli case. These images formed the nightmares of artist DanaEllyn's childhood. Today, separated by the distance of years and a vegetarian diet, Ellyn's paintings lend a darkly humorous twist to the subject of our consumption and use of animals. Ellyn invites viewers to reconsider the every day. Pieces give a new meaning to ubiquitous phrases, lending a comically sinister meaning to "baby back ribs" and turning "pig in a blanket" on its head. More >>>http://www.DANAELLYN.com
