Work by Bruce Allen and Michael D Harold at Arodasi Studio.

Pretty much an international version of Michael G Moore's NWLaArtGallery.com, the new Saatchi online gallery has the added cachet of being associated with an art mogul and the city of London. The first regional artist who's come to me having created a corner of their own at Saatchi online is the estimable painter-writer-digitalist Michael D Harold.
His 12-foot, pink penis - created with Bruce Allen at Arodasi Gallery - is shown spitting police cordon tape.
In a first observation of the saatchi, he writes "They say the artist views are randomized, but it's seems to be a little rigged. The same artists keep showing up on the first 4-5 pages." There is an alphabetical listing of all artists in which you will find Harold and works of his that are a lot less phallic. I found him under Your Gallery.
Here's a global position:

or simply saatchi-gallery.co.uk for a tour of the lush work of the moment. Didn't see anything that rivalled the Harold-Allen schmo, though.

Thanks for the pomo promo, Robert. Although the installation was Bruce's gig, he has been more than a friend in allowing me to promote the collaboration. The photo you took is excellent. There is not another photo of anything I have worked on that is nearly as good.
This post is a bit confusing. At first I thought, oh wow, great Saatchi's got a piece of Shreveport art, but then I realized that "Your Gallery" is a social networking tool of sorts that allows artists to put their artwork up on the web, and perhaps gain some prominence - for free. Great find for self promotion, Michael. I've put one up too: http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist_profile/Sara+Hebert/15246.html
Talk about an easy way to get a portfolio on the web! And to think I've been spending all this time agonizing on how I should display my work!
