Creativity. Passion. Energy. Flair.
Those are just a few of the many words that spring to mind when describing the brush strokes that come from the palette of world-renowned artist Frenchy. Of course those words also fit Frenchy's vibrant personality, which makes sense, because that persona is reflected in every piece of work the artist creates.
Who is Frenchy?
Born to a boxer and a saint on August 16th, 1970 , in the industrial New England town of Lowell, Mass., Randy Leo Frechette -– a.k.a. Frenchy –- has been drawing since he could grip a pencil. In grade school he impressed friends with caricatures of teachers and classmates, but he did not realize his true calling until The Boston Horns approached him in Orlando and persuaded him to paint their performance live.
From that point forward, Frenchy has led a colorful and dynamic ride with stops at concert venues and sports stadiums all over the globe. Based in the talent-rich city of New Orleans, Frenchy is an ambassador to the arts and a bastion of creativity.
His presence fills venues both large and small with an explosion of creative spirit. Frenchy captivates onlookers with his artistry in motion –- painting events in real-time as they unfold before him. His performance is captivating and its end-result is awe-inspiring.
Since 1997, Frenchy has called New Orleans his home and his muse. The vibrant local music scene pushes the artist's creativity and expressiveness to new limits. And he has branched out further by tapping into the city's sporting events -– ranging from weekly Saints game as the “official team artist” to Super Bowls and NCAA Championships. During Mardi Gras season he can be seen marching in parades, painting on canvas while others toss beads.
He is as “ New Orleans ” as red beans and rice on Monday, yet he doesn't limit himself to the Crescent City . Frenchy aggressively tours the country, painting events in order to quench his creative thirst. He hits music festivals and sporting events across the globe, while also pausing for commissions and studio pieces. All the while he bounces along with a care-free step and creative smile.
There will be a limited number of Frenchy 10,000 Lakes Festival prints available for sale at the General Store Merch Areas. Also stop by Frenchy's booth, located near the Field Stage in the concert bowl, for amazing live painting as well as a gallery space and art for purchase.

[glow=orange,2,300]SEAN DOYLE[/glow]
Sean's Doyle's hands have molded some of nature's hardest elements into magnificant organic shapes. From life-size trees of twisted steel, to huge custom door hinges and corporate sculpture.
His medium for expression has varied from steel, to stone and leather and eventually to adorning the human form as an awardwinning fashion designer.
But Sean didn't stop with his elegant garments and extravagant fashion shows. He carried his talents beyond the glamourous world of fashion, and into the land of imagination, with a large scale blacklight, interactive theatrical set he calls "Imagine This."
With an unusual talent for combining unlikely, and often thought provoking visual elements in his art, Sean has a knack for cultivating a visual splendor that lingers in the minds of those who experience it.
Sean might for example, create a giant meadow of glow-in-the-dark flowers and grass, where painted performers move through a living art canvas. Smoke ring cannons, lava drummers in contamination suits, a giant paper monster and glowing backdrops add an element of fun and surprise for the bands and events Sean has been commissioned to create atmosphere for.
Sean Doyle isn't likely to stop at leather corsets, bustiers or blacklight faerie lands. As his rich repitoire of talents has grown, so have his ideas and ambitions. Sean draws assistance from a growing pool of talented artists, musicians painters, photographers, builders, performers
and models to help him express his large scale, interactive visions.
