Cyrus Webb's Art Show "This Is Now" A Success

On Saturday, October 26, 2013 Mississippi native Cyrus Webb hosted is first major art show in almost 8 years at the Pearl Public Library in Pearl, MS. The title "This Is Now" symbolized not just how he was moving forward in new ways of creating but how his work has evolved over the past decade.

"It was a great experience for me," says Webb, 38. "To see people of all ages and races come out to show their support was truly a humbling experience." On display were both original art from the past 5 years as well as prints.

"Because of the response I am looking forward to hosting another show real soon," Webb says. "There's nothing like creating, and I have a lot more I want to share.

Cyrus Webb Chosen As Publicist For Kid Energy Tour

Mississippi and Tennessee are poised to take the lead in a brand new campaign geared towards educating the public about safety, 811 and positive aspects of the petroleum industry. Introducing Burnie and Earl: the creation of Mike Fesi, owner of Louisiana-based Pipeline Construction & Maintenance, Inc and Kid Energy USA.

"About a year ago I noticed an abundance of negativity being directed toward our industry," says Fesi. "I realized that we needed to teach kids, and adults alike how important the petroleum industry is to our everyday lives." Burnie and Earl were born for that purpose.

Through Kid Energy USA Fesi and his team (Myke Fay-Z, Mike Smith and Eric Tabor) will be using the two character to travel across the country, with Mississippi and Tennessee being the launch states.

"We're excited to have been selected to kick off this important project," says Mississippi native Cyrus Webb. He has been tapped by Kid Energy USA to be the tour coordinator for the campaign. "I know that Burnie and Earl will not only resonate with young kids but help educate teens and adults about their responsibility when it comes to safety and what we can all do to pay it forward."

The dates of the Mississippi and Tennessee leg of the tour are January 21-25th. Webb has already set up stops with schools and after school programs, however, more are welcome. During each stop there will be information about Kid Energy USA and its mission as well as the importance of 811 and knowing what is under your feet when it comes to safety. Free material and coloring books will also be distributed to the younger audiences as well as the showing of a video about how Burnie and Earl learn about 811..
