I am proud to announce the launch of the expanded business services through Side Arts! It is my goal to continue to develop new, easy-to-use features that help promote both artists and art related business in our community.

Now businesses and organizations can manage their own profile through a simple log in and edit feature on our website! The business page now performs similar to the artist page where the most recently updated profiles are shown first, random profiles are shown second, all profiles are shown on a separate page, profiles can be sorted by category, and a text search feature is included.

Business are encouraged to continue sending press releases for the blog. Any feedback about the site or bugs is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your continued support of Side Arts and the Philly arts community.

New information thanks to @MJRose. Looks like FOX’s “Past Life” will air on Thursdays after Bones. Here’s the 2010 network television schedule. The pilot is set to air on February 11th at 8pm EST, but will regularly air at 9pm on Thursdays after Bones.

This looks like an exciting new show that blends a little bit of House, M.D. with CSI and Ghost Whisperer. It is based on the novel “The Reincarnationist” by M.J. Rose.

15 of my prints, tiles and original paintings were purchased for use on the set, but I do not know in which episodes they will appear. My guess is that the earliest few episodes were already filmed before the set designer purchased my art.

I hope that folks can help in the scavenger hunt to try to find them. I’m looking forward to watching the episodes….not only because the show sounds exciting, but because it will be fun to try to find the art! Be sure to post a reply if you recognize any of the artwork in the scenes. The more eyes the better. haha!

Many thanks to Bonanza Productions for selecting some of my pieces to adorn their sets. It’s really quite exciting! Thank you also to M.J.Rose for tweeting a message to me about the show dates.
