Jean-Pierre Velly

Jean-Pierre Velly (14 September 1943, Audierne, France – 26 May 1990) was a Breton etcher, draftsman and painter.

In 1965, after attending the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Toulon, he began study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The following year he won the "Grand Prix de Rome" for etching. In 1967 he moved to Rome for three years to work under Balthus at Villa Medici, the French Academy. From 1970 he lived at Formello, a small village near Rome, where he worked for the next twenty years.

In 1971 he began exhibiting at Rome's Don Chisciotte Gallery, and started working in silverpoint, and painting in watercolor, particularly for the series Velly pour Corbière (1976–1978) from the poems of Tristan Corbiere, and Bestiaire Perdu (1978–1980). In the 1980s his subjects turned to landscapes, still life, life studies, trees and self portraits; using pencil, china ink, watercolor and oil.

In 1990, he was the victim of a boating accident and drowned in Lake Bracciano; his body was never recovered. Since then his work has been exhibited in Italy, France and Germany.

The Coats

The Coats (sometimes called the Coats vocal band) are an a cappella singing group based along the west coast of the United States and originated in Seattle, Washington. It consists of bass singer Kerry Dahlen, baritone Doug Wisness, and Jamie Dieveney and Keith Michael Anderson as second and first tenors, respectively.

History

The group was formed in 1987, while each of its four members were studying at the University of Washington. They began singing unprofessionally around Seattle, at such locations as Pike Place Market, to pay their way through college. However, their unique singing style attracted attention, and they were soon singing professionally throughout the west coast and elsewhere.

Name change

The Coats were originally known as "The Trenchcoats," but following the Columbine High School massacre, they became unintentionally associated with the Trenchcoat Mafia. Numerous news reports erroneously provided the singing group's web address as that of the killers, so it was quickly simplified to their group's current name.

The Coats of Claude

The Coats of Claude is the seventy-fifth studio album by guitarist Buckethead, and the forty-fifth installment of the Buckethead Pikes Series.

The album was released as a digital version on January 17. Along with the digital version, two limited edition formats were announced to be released on February 7. The first format consists of 300 copies of an untitled white album signed by Buckethead himself. The second version consists of an unspecified amount of copies of an untitled white album with hand drawn covers and signed by Buckethead himself. The second version was only offered until January 24 while the first version lasted until copies sold out.

A standard edition was announced but has not yet been released.

The album is speculated to be dedicated to Claude Coats - an American artist, animator and set designer, known for his work with the Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering.
