They Created Album Art For Michael Jackson, Prince, Alice Cooper

CLEARWATER, FL -- Two nationally known artists are exhibiting their artwork at Second Century Studios in Downtown Clearwater now through Nov. 11.

Dick Zimmerman and Jim Warren, who both live in Clearwater, have brought their artwork together in a rotating exhibit with distinctive themes, including rock n' roll, portrait paintings and Marilyn Monroe.

Zimmerman, who has been painting for more than 45 years, is best known for his iconic image of Michael Jackson that was the cover of the "Thriller" album. He also was commissioned by the painter Salvador Dali to take a photograph portrait of Salvador Dal and his wife in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary.

Warren, a Disney artist, has been painting since 1967. He has created artwork for Alice Cooper, Prince, Clive Barker and Robin Cook. He painted the cover of Bob Seger's album "Against the Wind."

Second Century Studios, at 331 Cleveland St., is open from 8:30 a.m. to midnight every day. There will be coffee and art each morning. The studio is also offering art lessons, poetry readings and live music.

The artists will be at Second Century Studios at 6 p.m. on select evenings.

Second Century Studios will also host the local artwork of Carlos Cardenas, Kim Braun, Kim Nasr and Kathleen Slaven Nov. 5 - 11.

The exhibits are organized and presented by the Seahorse Art Gallery of Clearwater.
