St. Cloud Times Article

Last Sunday, I got a little press in the St. Cloud Times regarding my show at St. Cloud State University. I was hoping for more along with some pix that I had submitted, but no dice. Anyway, press is press so I'll just chalk it up to experience.
Here's the entire article - well, my portion of it at the tail end of a theater review entitled "Fine arts column: Musical pays homage to Alexander's bad day"

Kyle Fokken exhibit at SCSU
Almost two decades after graduation, Minnesota artist Kyle Fokken is back at his alma mater. Fokken's whimsical creations will be displayed at St. Cloud State University's Atwood Gallery until Jan. 13. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
Fokken's work is based on a love of antique toys.
"You let the art dictate the form to you. I don't always start out with a definitive form in mind. I have a general idea for the feeling of the piece," Fokken said.
Fokken's passion for merging found objects began in childhood when he created his own toy models.
"When I was a kid, I was pretty poor. I used to make a lot of model airplanes and cars," Fokken said. "I couldn't afford all the kits, so I'd go the library and (find a picture) of what I wanted to make and then find the parts that would go in there."
Atwood Gallery hours are 8 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on the weekend.

Funny thing is, that I talked to my parents the other day and they stated that a former schoolmate (a few years younger than me, I think) saw it in the paper and told my hometown newspaper about it. They in turn contacted my parents for permission to publish it and there ya go - I've got street cred in Clara City! BTW, don't look for it online since, I just checked their website and it hasn't been updated since February 25th, 2009!

Anyway, here's the links for both sites in case you need more info:
