And I was able to present it to him in person at the 50th anniversary kick-off concert at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta featuring the world's most superb collatura soprano, Elizabeth Futral along with the Atlanta Boy Choir!</p><p>I was so honored and humbled to be included in this celebration for this amazing organization that helps young boys be the &quot;Best Boys They Can Be.&quot;</p><p>Congratulations to David and Rosemary White and The Boys. May you have many more glorious years of concertizing and numerous chances to unleash &quot;random acts of beauty&quot; in all corners of the world! </p><p>THANK YOU to the generous donor who made the piece and the presentation possible!</p><p>Kudos!</p><p>Mark</p>Mon, 26 Mar 2007 04:00 GMThttp://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_new_details3.asp?ID=737http://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_new_details3.asp?ID=737Mark Mulfinger<p>Here&nbsp;are websites where you can access images of all the completed batiks and a news article&nbsp;detailing&nbsp;a few&nbsp;of the pieces from my show at the Hampton III Gallery&nbsp;on Thursday night.&nbsp;Seeing the show up and finished was immensley gratifying.

I couldn't have been older than second grade when an elderly lady sat for me. I was mesmerized by her wrinkles and did my best to get them while I was drawing. Upon completing the drawing I presented it to her and told her that I was very sorry I couldn't get <em>all</em> the wrinkles. My mother was embarassed, but&nbsp;the&nbsp;woman&nbsp;was rather amused. Through the eyes of a child you are who you appear to be. There's no shame in that. </p><p>I guess I was a visual artist from the beginning. Sentimentality can close our eyes to the unexpected essence of life. The things we think are bad--are they really? </p><p>Abraham Lincoln said, &quot;After forty, you are responsible for your face.&quot; The expressions, the demeanor, the attitude and the lines are all dictated by the spirit that governs your face. Even the lines that are God given fall in pleasant places when the attitude is sweet.</p><p>Off to make more cracks (in batiks),</p><p>Mark</p>Tue, 30 Sep 2008 04:00 GMThttp://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_gallery.asp?GalleryID=mu91906122956http://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_gallery.asp?GalleryID=mu91906122956Mark MulfingerNew photos have been added to the following photo album on 9/30/2008:<BR><BR><B>Snaps of the Studio</B><BR>A brief visitFri, 9 Mar 2007 04:00 GMThttp://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_gallery.asp?GalleryID=mu10130692128http://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_gallery.asp?GalleryID=mu10130692128Mark MulfingerNew photos have been added to the following photo album on 3/9/2007:<BR><BR><B>Sketchbook Drawings</B><BR>Random sketchbook material.Mon, 5 Mar 2007 04:00 GMThttp://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_gallery.asp?GalleryID=mu10210601820http://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_gallery.asp?GalleryID=mu10210601820Mark MulfingerNew photos have been added to the following photo album on 3/5/2007:<BR><BR><B>Mulfinger Travels</B><BR>Capturing CitiesWed, 1 Oct 2008 03:19 GMThttp://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_prodinfo.asp?PID=mu93008231929http://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_prodinfo.asp?PID=mu93008231929Mark MulfingerA new web store product from <a href="http://www.markmulfinger.com">Mark Mulfinger</a> has been created with the following details:<BR><BR><b>Title:</b> The Seven Deadly Whites<BR><b>Subtitle:</b> Created 2007<BR><b>Created By:</b> Mark Mulfinger<BR><b>Category:</b> Linocut<BR><b>Price:</b> $450<font size=1>&nbsp;USD</font><BR><BR><b>Details:</b> Edition: 54 Remaining: 50Wed, 1 Oct 2008 03:12 GMThttp://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_prodinfo.asp?PID=mu9300823123http://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_prodinfo.asp?PID=mu9300823123Mark MulfingerA new web store product from <a href="http://www.markmulfinger.com">Mark Mulfinger</a> has been created with the following details:<BR><BR><b>Title:</b> Lake Country Farmland<BR><b>Subtitle:</b> Created 2008<BR><b>Created By:</b> Mark Mulfinger<BR><b>Category:</b> Acrylic<BR><b>Price:</b> $9,000<font size=1>&nbsp;USD</font><BR><BR><b>Details:</b> Acrylic on WoodWed, 1 Oct 2008 03:08 GMThttp://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_prodinfo.asp?PID=mu9300823832http://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_prodinfo.asp?PID=mu9300823832Mark MulfingerA new web store product from <a href="http://www.markmulfinger.com">Mark Mulfinger</a> has been created with the following details:<BR><BR><b>Title:</b> Artist in History<BR><b>Subtitle:</b> Created 2008<BR><b>Created By:</b> Mark Mulfinger<BR><b>Category:</b> Acrylic<BR><b>Price:</b> $2,700<font size=1>&nbsp;USD</font><BR><BR><b>Details:</b> Acrylic on WoodSat, 1 Dec 2007 18:26 GMThttp://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_prodinfo.asp?PID=mu12107142618http://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_prodinfo.asp?PID=mu12107142618Mark MulfingerA new web store product from <a href="http://www.markmulfinger.com">Mark Mulfinger</a> has been created with the following details:<BR><BR><b>Title:</b> Mill Village Main<BR><b>Subtitle:</b> Created 2007<BR><b>Created By:</b> Mark Mulfinger<BR><b>Category:</b> Linocut<BR><b>Price:</b> $200<font size=1>&nbsp;USD</font><BR><BR><b>Details:</b> Edition: 48 Remaining: 46Wed, 24 Oct 2007 15:37 GMThttp://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_prodinfo.asp?PID=mu102407113717http://www.markmulfinger.com/ss_prodinfo.asp?PID=mu102407113717Mark MulfingerA new web store product from <a href="http://www.markmulfinger.com">Mark Mulfinger</a> has been created with the following details:<BR><BR><b>Title:</b> Atlanta Boy Choir<BR><b>Subtitle:</b> Created 2007<BR><b>Created By:</b> Mark Mulfinger<BR><b>Category:</b> Linocut<BR><b>Price:</b> $1,200<font size=1>&nbsp;USD</font><BR><BR><b>Details:</b> Edition: 25 Remamining: 23
