Laurie Reydman

All of my jewelry is designed and hand fabricated by myself in my home studio. I work mostly in sterling silver, incorporating gold, precious gemstones, enamel and lesser metals in certain designs. I tend to like a simplicity in both line and structure, and am told by my customers that they find my jewelry both"different"and "unique".

We are back from our extravagant globe trotting expedition to uncover fantastic new artists for you! We did not find any, so we are going to present 2 excellent local artists!!

The first one is an exquisite jeweler and the other is someone you might be familiar with.

Stay tuned tomorrow for another episode of the Drive-Thru to find our what the heck we are talking about.

We are taking this week off!
A new Artist joins us next week!

We hope you have enjoyed this trip down Cleveland's Punk memory lane!
The Dead Boys were certainly a big part of this type of music.

Dave Treat

This is the last photo and was part of the promo shoot. Hope you enjoyed a part of Cleveland music history.
The photo is 11 x 14 silver gelatin prints and printed from the original negatives. All prints are signed, matted, framed and the finished size is 16 x 20. Each print is $125.00.

Thursday at the Drive-Thru!

Dave Treat

The first photo was taken during the downtown photo shoot.
*please note the print on sale is vertical, the one shown in the
original collage. It allowed a larger image of Stiv.
The second photo was taken in 1976, Stiv moved into an apartment on Giel Ave. in Lakewood, Ohio where I lived.
I needed one subject for a final portfolio in college, Stiv was my subject.
All photos are 11 x 14 silver gelatin prints and printed from the
original negatives. All prints are signed. All prints are framed,
matted and framed size is 16 x 20.

$125.00

This shot was taken in the middle of Huron Rd. in front of what is now the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. My reflection is in Jimmy
Zero's sunglasses.
All photos are 11 x 14 silver gelatin prints and printed from the original negatives. All prints are signed, matted and framed. Framed size is 16 x20. Please follow the page to see more information.

***If you live oversees and would like a copy order here, it will be shipped from London saving you a ton on shipping.

Day #2 at the Punk Rock version of the Drive-Thru!

Today, we find these 2 lovely photographs.

The first photo is the gate the band had to climb over for the shot between the buildings that was posted yesterday.
The second photo was taken at the Deadboys practice studio.
Please follow the page to see more information.
All photos are 11 x 14 silver gelatin prints and printed from the original negatives. All prints are signed. Each print is $125.00.

***If you would like a copy of the book and live overseas, you can order here, but it will be shipped from London which will save you a ton in shipping.

Remember, we are not limited to just 1 book. If you are a fan of the Dead Boys, please let us know!

Today is the first post from Cleveland Photographer Dave Treat. Great for any Cleveland music fan. The book will be available all week long as there are multiples.

The first of my photos to be featured on Cleveland Starving Artist's Drive Thru! The photo is a silver gelatin print from the original negatives. Print is 11x14 and 16x20 framed. This photo was featured in the Rock Scene magazine in May, 1977 and inspired the band's first album cover. The framed photo is priced at $125 dollars and my book is priced at $15. Shipping is available upon request.

We started The Cleveland's Starving Artist's Drive-Thru on April 26th with our buddy Scott Pickering as our first Artist. Since then, we have featured a new Artist every week.

Sometimes the Artist sells everything, sometimes they won't sell anything. We don't pay rent for a gallery, utilities, etc. Because of this, we only take a small percentage of the sale. We enjoy feeling that we are helping the Artist keep more money in their pockets. The Arts are important to us and to the world, especially in these trying times.

We hope you have enjoyed seeing the wide variety of Artists on this page. We will always feature diverse people. Just because you do not have a degree in the Arts does not mean you do not have a passion for Art. It is important to us to feature all kinds of Artists. Everyone deserves a chance. Cheers!

Here is a good example of how the pandemic has interrupted an artist. David Treat had plans to exhibit his photos this year in Tokyo and London.

This week's artist has an interesting story. Dave Treat discovered photos that had been sitting in a shoe box 40 years after he took them of Cleveland's legendary DEADBOYS. These were mainly promo shots for the band.

We are also including the book that Dave put out that features many of them.

The prints are signed and framed.

*We hope to have higher res images for the daily posts this week.

Here are the last photos of the week. This is a set of 10 5"x7" photos that can be hung in any fashion you might like. The set is titled "Bicycle" and listed for $200.

Please scroll back to see all of the work from Chris that is available. Please message us if interested in any of his pieces.

Once again, here is his bio:
I earned my B.A. in Fine Art from Kent State University in 1996.
I earned my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from Cleveland State University in 2006.
I started teaching art at Glenville High School in 1998.
I started teaching art at Brooklyn High School in 2001 and that is where I am still teaching.
I was a board member of the Cleveland West Art league from 2007-2017.

For this body of work I used analog photography found in thrift stores and antique stores. I choose image I feel are still relevant in their messages being social or political or even nostalgic. I manipulate the scan ignorer to add the distortion, I then have them printed on large scale metal plates. There is no other manipulations, I like that you can see the rips, stains and history of the photography. There is a floating system attached to the back of the plate for easy hanging.

Thursday!
