D. M. Gremlin Productions recording and photography studio's monthly Open House and devMEET night is a no-admission, friendly get-together for local artists, friends, and deviantART members to share an evening of studio tours, meet-and-greet, networking, and fun. Open House night is the night we open our doors for anyone interested in the recording or photography studio to come by and tour the facilities. Check out our forums for a look at images and videos shot right here at our last several Open House events!

Open Houses are generally hosted by our studio crew: Our photography master-in-residence, workshop and private instructor Adam Chilson; bodypainter extraordinaire and workshop MUA/co-instructor Lisa Berczel of Battledress Paint-n-Body; and studio owner Wendy Levin. We are also expanding our affiliation with the world's largest online art community, deviantART, where both Lisa and Wendy are part of the administrative team of Gallery Moderators. Every month, Open House doubles up as an official deviandMEET, with any local or traveling dA members welcome to attend!

July's event is set for July 24, 2009. The event theme is "Zombie Apocalypse Night!" Come as a zombie, a zombie survivalist, or be prepared to be transformed into a shambling, decaying hulk by Lisa and our master of gore, Andrew Gettler! It's almost certain that at least one photo shoot will ensue. We will also have our regular studio tours, casual shooting, socializing, and meet & greet throughout the studio.

To see some of the fun from our recent "Open House adventures," check out some images of our "80's Rock Band" Sessions in March, "Super Heroes" theme night in February, and our "Heavy Metal" bodypaint shoot in January, posted in the studio's forums!

For all photographers: please read our current policy for photo shooting at Open House events. We will usually be set up for casual photo shooting of portraits and candids - no nudes - in one of the studio rooms. On occasion, we may also feature a formal shoot at Open House, with either a "no camera" policy in that room, or a small fee per camera to participate. Please pay attention to Open House announcement emails, this web page, and posted signs during the events, for the specifics of shooting at each Open House event.
