Stop in at Gnarly Vines this week for three consecutive days of wine tastings (Wednesday, 7/10; Thursday, 7/11 and Friday, 7/12) and an opening reception for artist and woodcutter, TJ Huff’s “Nudie Cards” series on 7/10, 6p to 8p.

Twenty eight of the 53 woodcuts from the “Nudie Cards” series will be on display for the next six weeks. These are based on studies of the human form from vintage 1940’s – 1950’s nudie playing card decks.

The prints will be on sale for $35 (payable directly and entirely to the artist), and come with a full deck of cards illustrated with a reproduction of each of the prints in the series.
