The Art of Steve Kuzma

Posted on January 23, 2012 | Leave a comment

When I first met Steve, I was amazed at his daring to set up shop on the boardwalk in Ventnor. “Wow” I thought, “If there were more artists like Steve  in this city, we could really be onto something here.” After I got to know him, I was even more amazed at the sheer volume of work he was producing. Steve could easily fill a gallery ten times over, and the van he was driving was filled to overload with his prints and paintings.

Steve celebrates our town by capturing it on canvas and showing us all the beauty of the beach with colorful abstract work that is bright and filled with emotion. As I watched him sketching that day and interacting with the many passersby who stopped to chat, I knew that he was going to be recognized as one of the top artists in Ventnor.

Please visit his latest online portfolio of work by clicking the image below. – Mark Hills

Kickin’ in the New Year at Malelani Cafe

Posted on January 7, 2012 | Leave a comment

Our favorite punk rock accordionist MALCOLM TENT  helped to kick in the New Year Ventnor style when he played on Friday Night along with 1 ADAM 12 at the Malelani Cafe. It was a full house and the kind of high charged music event that the Cafe has become so well-known for.

When I’m thinking of you,
Wanna’ shove you,
From above you,
Love you!
