10 QUESTIONS<br />
WITH VIC<br />

Hal Sparks<br />
Ac<strong>to</strong>r, comedian, musician,<br />
comic and father, Hal Sparks is<br />
exceptionally talented and an allaround<br />
great guy. Most of us may<br />
know Hal as Michael Novotny from<br />
Queer as Folk, but his resume<br />
was quite impressive even before<br />
he joined the show in 2000. His<br />
career has flourished since but he<br />
has managed <strong>to</strong> stay down-<strong>to</strong>-earth<br />
and keep his sense of humor.<br />
Modesty aside, how would you<br />
describe yourself?<br />
I don’t believe in Modesty. That<br />
should tell you something. But in<br />
all seriousness, I would describe<br />
myself as average height, below<br />
average weight, above average<br />
hair… last seen leaving the scene<br />
on a black Honda Fury considered<br />
armed and dangerous.<br />
You have a prolific and diverse<br />
career, doing films, TV shows,<br />
stand-up, radio, writing and<br />
music. How are you most<br />
recognized in West Hollywood/<br />
Los Angeles?<br />

will be raffles, vendors, exhibi<strong>to</strong>rs, and live music in the beer and wine garden, as well as food<br />

AdamsArtExpose’ ART<br />
LOCAL ARTIST GERALD PATRICK<br />
EXHIBITS HIS WORK AT ART PALM<br />
SPRINGS SHOW<br />
Several local galleries had exhibits<br />
at this years Art Palm Springs show.<br />
Gerald Patrick a local artist who<br />
has his studio gallery at 1800 Via<br />
Negocio Road in Palm Springs had<br />
an impressive display of his varied art<br />
creations in the show.<br />
Talking with Gerald at his booth,<br />
he stated that he has been in Palm<br />
Springs for 6 years. His previous<br />
work was as a potter and designer in<br />
Los Angeles. He worked for Mikasa<br />
for several years designing tableware<br />
for them. He also worked for several<br />
other luxury tableware companies,<br />
including: Lenox, Yamazaki, Reed<br />
and Bar<strong>to</strong>n, and also for sivlersmiths,<br />
Cambridge.<br />
He moved <strong>to</strong> Palm Springs in 2015<br />
with the intention of creating art<br />
that he wants <strong>to</strong> create on his terms<br />
not just creating for other entities.<br />
His gallery/studio in Palm Springs<br />
displays the work he has been creating<br />
These works can be viewed on many<br />
canvases, including, abstracts, bold<br />
AdamsArtExpose’<br />
patterns and solids. He also has<br />
colorful metal sculptures that are<br />
created <strong>to</strong> be displayed indoors or<br />
outdoors that can be seen in the<br />
gallery. Sculpture is an offshoot from<br />
his previous work as a potter. The<br />
sculptures are painted in brilliant<br />
colors with shapes that have a graceful<br />
flowing lightness that eludes that they<br />
are made of metal.<br />
Gerald says he spends most of his<br />
time in his studio intently painting,<br />
most recently on large canvases which<br />
express his visual creativity. Mr.<br />
Patrick is an example of the quality<br />
of accomplished artists that have<br />
migrated <strong>to</strong> Palm Springs of which we<br />
have the privilege <strong>to</strong> see their ongoing<br />
work. You can visit Gerald Patrick's<br />
studio gallery on request. His email is<br />
gpatrickdesigns@gmail.com. You can<br />
also view more of his work on his web<br />
site www.geradpatrick.net<br />

THE LAST WORD<br />
Well in the desert<br />
Please consider supporting this Well in the desert event. Many of us are fortunate <strong>to</strong><br />
have a home, a place <strong>to</strong> release, hang a picture. I keep reminding myself that each day is<br />
passing faster and faster. But this is not so for our homeless. They must fight every day<br />
for food, comfort, and clothing. It's the little things that keep us, like hanging a picture<br />
<strong>to</strong> remind us of better times. But a picture can do so much more than inspire, one begins<br />
<strong>to</strong> find comfort in it. Visit www.wellinthedesert.org and finmd out more about helping<br />
thoise in need right here, right now in your <strong>to</strong>wn.<br />
