Launch of Pretty Fierce clothing at Women’s Show
It’s an exciting weekend ahead. The launch of Pretty Fierce/Beluxe yoga wear is on at the National Women’s Show at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Nov. 9 – 11. Visit booth 1204 to see all the styles.
Some fab moments are put together in this video that visually connects Beluxe and Pretty Fierce.
Bev Hogue Blue Art show with Pretty Fierce
A striking new series of Bev Hogue “Blue or Nothing” paintings and yoga gear with Pretty Fierce are featured Oct. 26 and 27 at the Oast Hayloft in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
The famous blue paintings of this highly collectible Niagara artist blend fantasy and fashion in the pop surreal genre. And through her Beluxe label, this bold imagery is distributed worldwide on clothing, jewellery, shoes and accessories.
The natural next move was for Bev to partner with Canada’s own Pretty Fierce with a line of yoga pants and tops. See the latest styles at the launch in late October.
Red, Hot and Blue
We made some new friends at the Red, Hot and Blue rockabillly fest in Brockville. Nathalie, Amund, Dave, Heather, Claude, Craig, Trev and Debbie — you made us feel most welcome.
Already looking forward to next year’s show on the Thousand Islands shore.
And we are proud to announce that the Spitfire is the spot to pick up original Bev Hogue art, collectible prints, and fashion necessities like Pretty Fierce yoga gear emblazoned with Beluxe blue femmes.
In the Brockville area, contact Nathalie Lavergne at the Spitfire Cafe, 10 Victoria Ave.
RIP George Romero: Night of the Living Deb
After several months of treatment for an all-to-common malady these days, and for which I received tremendous medical guidance and support from the Juravinksi Centre, a knock came to my door.
It was esteemed radiologist and all-round great guy Stephen Sagar and his lovely partner Christina.
The good doctor was key to zapping the unwelcome intruders out of my system and also keeping my spirits up.
He was popping in to my studio to have a look at a particular painting that we had talked about — Night of the Living Deb.
The painting was part of an effort several years back to commemorate the masterpiece film Night of the Living Dead by cult director George Romero.
The image of my painting was as part of a collection of images for a book. I kept original of course, and never planned to part with it.
It was meant to be part of Dr. Sagar’s own collection.
Then, the painting had a new life.
As a lifelong fan of Romero and his movies, Dr. Sagar made a point of meeting the director at a Canadian ComicCon event.
He had the painting with him, all nicely framed and ready for the possibility that Romero might agree to sign.
And he did — just months before he died.
A photo is of two heroes of mine. I cherish the moment and will endure in a very meaningful way.

Shades of blue at Silver Spoons
Silver Spoons is an art-wine-food event in the Eastside of Toronto May 13 and 14.
Along with gourmet food, wine and beer tastings, live music, there will be a pop-up art gallery.
I will have an exhibit of my latest paintings here, so if you are in the city to say hello and see some of my recent work.
It’s a great event, with proceeds going to support Second Harvest.
The weather in Toronto is expected to be chilly. What better way to chase the “what-ever-happened-to-summer”blues away then to have a few cups at Silver Spoons, District 28. (28 Logan)
Live at the Hive: L.A. animators art opening
It’s another trip to L.A. but this time with a twist. For the opening at Hive Gallery’s “Secret Art of Animators 2” show on Saturday, Oct. 3, I decided to send a representative in my place — an 11 in. x 14 in. acrylic on canvas painting titled In Your Dreams.
The show highlights the artwork of the movers and shakers of the animation industry. Among the featured guests: Simpsons art director Andrew Brandou, Model maker Tory Bellici (The Matrix) and Mythbusters host and M5 model maker Kari Byron, among many others.
I was asked to submit a piece for the accompanying show that plays on ’90s animation favourites. Ren and Stimpy were too hard to resist. They pose (as still as they can possibly be) American Gothic style, bookending a portrait of one of my blue women. She has the expression of one of my favourites, Deer Prudence.
I like the piece and I hope it goes to a good home.
15 minutes in blue fame
Some Hollywood set designers took an interest in a few Bev Hogue blue paintings for an upcoming pilot earlier this year.
After some back and forth on the cast of paintings, Suffragette, Boot Camp, Undercover Girl and Passion Flower were chosen to be positioned in the bedroom of actress Natalie Martinez for a TV series called Warrior.
We heard that director Phillip Noyce loved the paintings. I recall how the Australian director brought us to the edge of our seats in the film Dead Calm, the open-ocean thriller that brought Nicole Kidman international attention.
Alas, the series is not to be, but these Bev Hogue paintings got to strut under the lights for a few weeks of shooting in the spring.
It’s not true that these girls are feeling blue. They feel pretty good to have been chosen to appear alongside kick-ass martial arts crime fighter Kai Forrester (Martinez).
