Garden & Gun Profiles Silhouette Artist Clay Rice and His Lowcountry Work
Silhouette artist Clay Rice has been featured in Garden & Gun magazine in a profile that highlights his Lowcountry-inspired work and family legacy in paper cutting. The article, titled “Clay Rice Captures the Lowcountry in Silhouette,” appears in the October/November 2025 issue of the publication. Interested parties can find more information at Garden & Gun magazine. The feature presents Rice’s art within the landscape of the South Carolina Lowcountry, where his family has lived and worked for generations. It introduces readers to his silhouette portraits, larger landscape scenes, and children’s books, all of which reflect his focus on simple materials and strong, clear shapes. Rice is widely known for cutting children’s profiles in a matter of minutes using only scissors and black paper. Over a career that has spanned decades and included frequent travel to shops, galleries, schools, and museums across the United States, he has created silhouettes for families who often return over multiple generations. Beyond portraits, Rice produces complex scenes that depict marshes, rivers, wildlife, and daily life along the coast. Many of these works begin as paper silhouettes and later inform larger pieces in wood and metal. His children’s books bring his silhouettes into color and text, introducing young readers to his visual language through stories centered on family, comfort, and curiosity. The Garden & Gun profile follows Rice in and around his studio and family property, illustrating how closely his art is tied to the Lowcountry environment. The article places his work in the context of a family tradition that includes his grandfather, noted silhouette artist Carew Rice, and reaches back more than a century. Rice has expressed gratitude for the coverage and for the opportunity to share silhouette art with a broader audience. He views the feature as recognition of a craft based on patience, close observation, and a consistent commitment to hand-cut work. Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Rice continues to travel nationwide for in-store events, museum exhibits, and school programs, while also offering custom silhouettes, framed artwork, and books through Rice Galleries. Media, retailers, and organizations can use the website to access a media kit, event details, and contact information. To complement the magazine feature, Rice Galleries has published a new blog post on the Rice Galleries website that reflects on the profile and offers additional background on his practice. The post gives readers a deeper look at his approach to portraits, landscapes, and storytelling, and invites new and existing collectors to explore recent work and upcoming events.

Gallery 30 South Announces Easy Riders Exhibition by Lyndell Dean Wolff in Las Vegas
Gallery 30 South Announces Easy Riders Exhibition by Lyndell Dean Wolff Gallery 30 South is proud to announce Easy Riders , an exhibition of new paintings by Lyndell Dean Wolff, set to open in Las Vegas this December 2025 and running through January 2026. This highly anticipated exhibition showcases Wolff’s exceptional photorealistic portrayal of biker culture, capturing the essence of the open road with neorealistic detail and subtle, implied motion. Lyndell Dean Wolff’s photorealistic style and meticulous attention to detail are rooted in more than four decades of craftsmanship as a journeyman woodworker. Wolff’s mastery of both the technical aspects of his medium and the subjects he chooses reflects a deep, authentic connection to his art. His fascination with his subjects, particularly the motorcycles and their riders, mirrors the passion shared by fans and enthusiasts of the biker lifestyle. The Easy Riders series stands out for its ability to capture not only the physical details of the motorcycles but also the spirit of freedom, movement, and quiet moments of introspection that define life on the open road. The exhibition draws viewers into a world where every piece conveys both motion and stillness, bringing the thrill of the ride into vivid reality. “Lyndell Dean Wolff did not choose art as a career. It wasn’t a conscious decision to become an artist. Rather, it was just something that was always assumed; he was always referenced as being the artistic one. He can’t recall a time that he didn’t draw,” writes Car Kulture DeLuxe , highlighting the natural evolution of Wolff’s artistic journey. In addition to his new Easy Riders series, Gallery 30 South will also feature works from two of Wolff’s previous acclaimed series: Wabi-Sabi and Cognitive Phenomenology . These collections, which have been previously exhibited, further demonstrate Wolff’s versatility and dedication to exploring various artistic expressions, from the rustic beauty of imperfection in Wabi-Sabi to the intellectual exploration of human perception in Cognitive Phenomenology . Lyndell Dean Wolff: A Master of Craftsmanship and Art Lyndell Dean Wolff’s journey as an artist is deeply intertwined with his background as a master woodworker. Raised in the East Los Angeles area of the San Gabriel Valley, Wolff’s early life was shaped by a passion for craftsmanship. His career began with a successful run as a woodcarver, winning an international pipe-carving competition and being initiated into the prestigious pipe-carving fraternity, La Confrerie des Maitres Pipiers de Saint-Claude . Wolff’s subsequent work as a professional woodcarver led him to an apprenticeship with a master woodworker, where he honed his skills in fine woodworking, intricate joinery, and the restoration of Art Nouveau and Craftsman furniture. After the passing of his mentor, Wolff turned his focus toward the film industry, contributing to over 59 films in various roles before deciding to pursue painting full-time. In 2016, after receiving positive feedback on his early paintings, Wolff began exhibiting his works, including Easy Riders , which represents a culmination of his passion for craftsmanship and his ability to convey intricate details through his artistic vision. About Gallery 30 South Gallery 30 South is a contemporary art gallery based in Las Vegas, known for representing a diverse range of artists from emerging to internationally recognized figures. Under the leadership of Matt Kennedy, the gallery has hosted numerous groundbreaking exhibitions, showcasing works in painting, sculpture, installation, and new media.

2025 Guide Highlights Cheapest Good Quality 3D Printer Filament Bulk Deals
A newly released 2025 analysis highlights where consumers can find the cheapest good quality 3D printer filament when purchasing in bulk. With the growth of home 3D printing and the continued rise in material demand, many shoppers have turned to larger multi-spool bundles as a way to reduce overall printing costs. The guide compares major retailers and outlines current trends that influence filament pricing throughout the year. According to the report, significant price differences remain between single-spool purchases and bulk quantities, with many retailers offering 10-25 percent savings when buying multiple spools. These savings vary based on brand, material type, and retailer promotions, but bulk bundles continue to be one of the most reliable ways for frequent 3D printing users to reduce expenses. The analysis points to several key factors affecting bulk pricing, including manufacturing costs, shipping rates, distributor margins, and seasonal sales cycles. Major shopping events such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Prime Day consistently deliver some of the steepest discounts, while educational and back-to-school promotions often help reduce prices for students and makerspaces. Direct-to-consumer brands, including well-known filament manufacturers, frequently offer the lowest prices when purchasing from their official storefronts. These brands often provide bundle options that reduce the per-spool cost while ensuring consistent quality control and reliable packaging. Larger online retailers, including Amazon and specialty 3D printing stores, also adjust pricing frequently based on inventory levels, competitive activity, and market demand. For consumers seeking a detailed comparison, the complete guide and updated price listings are available at the link below: https://3dprintgeek.com/blog/cheapest-good-quality-3d-printer-filament-bulk-deal The overview also highlights common buying strategies that can help reduce long-term material costs. These include mixing multiple colors within a single bulk bundle, participating in rewards programs that accumulate points for future discounts, and using holiday promotions to stock up on frequently used filament types. Many retailers also provide loyalty incentives that enhance the value of repeat purchases, particularly for high-volume 3D printing users. In addition to pricing, the report evaluates what qualifies as “good quality” filament within the budget range. Reliability, dimensional accuracy, color consistency, and packaging standards all contribute to how well a material performs during extended use. The guide emphasizes the importance of comparing user reviews, tolerances, and printing profiles when selecting lower-priced bulk options to ensure consistent results. Overall, the 2025 guide aims to provide a clear, data-driven look at the most cost-effective ways to purchase high-quality 3D printer filament in bulk. With updated retailer comparisons, seasonal price trends, and practical buying strategies, the report serves as a useful resource for consumers looking to reduce filament costs without sacrificing print performance.

Hull Van Signage Design: Custom Vinyl Vehicle Wrap & Decal Services Expanded
With the service expansion, MatchDesigns now offers a wider selection of professionally designed decals, vinyl wraps, and full-vehicle graphics for drivers and businesses looking to refresh their vans' appearance and improve brand visibility on the road. More details can be found at https://matchdesigns.com/van-decals-hull-transform-your-vehicle-with-match-designs/ MatchDesigns notes that vehicle graphics remain one of the most effective forms of mobile advertising, providing businesses with exposure throughout the day as their vans move along local routes. "When it comes to creating a lasting impression for your business, your van isn’t just a vehicle, but a moving billboard," said a company spokesperson. "Whether you want to showcase your company’s logo, add bold graphics, or go for a full vehicle wrap, our expert team can bring your ideas to life." The process begins with a design consultation, where MatchDesigns works with clients to shape the overall look, colours, and branding elements they want. Digital mockups help customers preview the wrap before production, allowing them to adjust details before printing. Once finalised, the artwork is produced using wide-format printers that deliver sharp colours and durable finishes designed to withstand Hull’s changing weather. Installation is carried out by the studio’s fitting team, who prepare the vehicle and apply each vinyl section by hand. The company explains that careful preparation helps the wrap conform cleanly to the bodywork, resulting in a smooth finish that protects the paint beneath and holds up well under daily use. Decals and partial wraps remain popular with tradesmen who want logos and contact details displayed clearly. In contrast, full wraps are often chosen by businesses that want vehicles that stand out on the road. MatchDesigns also creates fleet livery, one-way vision vinyl for windows, and custom graphics for drivers who want a unique look for personal use. Beyond van signage, the Hull studio offers a range of complementary services, including logo design, canvas printing, custom signs, and web solutions, helping businesses maintain consistent branding across different formats.

Prioritizing authenticity and depth over metrics and trends, The MOOD Podcast is evolving into a cultural archive that documents how modern artists navigate the complexities of creative life today. The Unique Appeal of The MOOD Podcast What makes The MOOD Podcast different? Its focus on meaningful conversation rather than surface-level discussion. While many creative podcasts emphasize gear, trends, or quick tips, Matt Jacob’s approach turns the attention inward, exploring the emotional and philosophical foundations of the creative process. “Conversations on The MOOD Podcast aren’t about quick-fix advice. We’re exploring what shapes an artist — identity, purpose, and the emotional challenges behind the work,” says host and creator Matt Jacob. “I want listeners to hear real stories that reveal what it means to stay true to yourself in an algorithm-driven world.” A Cinematic Approach to Podcasting While most podcasts follow a traditional audio format, The MOOD Podcast integrates a carefully crafted visual experience. Filmed in a cinematic studio environment, each episode is designed with intention and polish, adding visual richness that complements the depth of the dialogue. This approach has helped establish the podcast as a standout within the creative and visual arts space. The show’s multi-platform presence across YouTube and audio channels strengthens its reach, offering diverse pathways for audience engagement and future partnerships aligned with the podcast’s artistic vision. Building a Creative Movement What began as a single conversation has developed into a broader creative platform connected to Matt Jacob’s ongoing photography work, educational initiatives, and expanding creative network across the U.S. and beyond. “I’ve spent years building a creative career on my own terms. I want to share my experiences, along with the insights of other creatives, with listeners who want to go deeper,” says Jacob. “The MOOD Podcast isn’t just a place for interviews; it’s a space for artistic exploration and genuine connection.” Building Trust with Artists and Creatives One of the podcast’s defining strengths is the level of trust guests place in Matt Jacob. Rather than approaching interviews as performance or promotion, guests feel comfortable opening up about personal challenges, breakthroughs, and the layers beneath their work. “The trust I build with my guests is essential to the show,” Jacob explains. “They don’t come to deliver rehearsed answers; they come to have real conversations. I walk alongside them, learning from their stories and sharing those lessons with our listeners.” This authentic connection has contributed to a consistently high rate of guest reshares across their own platforms, further amplifying the podcast’s reach.
