88.5 virtual show

May 21st, 2009


The 1988 galleries also have a online gallery which a new exhibition is featured every month. I had the opportunity to show a new series of small paintings there starting this weekend. Take a look and let me know what you think, good and bad, via their forum area. I’ll be logging in periodically should anyone have any questions. Or you can just call me since I know all four of you that read my blog. Hi Mom!

Beyond the Page

April 29th, 2009


Gallery 1988’s “Beyond the Page” show opens in San Francisco Friday, May 1st. The idea was to put our own little spin on the children’s books of our youth. It was a lot of fun working on these, and this could possibly be my favorite theme show yet. The above is “The Days Are Just Packed“, a tribute to Calvin and Hobbes. Below is a brief roundup of about every bear character I could think of. Titled simply, “Bears“.

Last is “Chance of Showers“, inspired by Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Mayday

April 29th, 2009


This one is called “Playtime”. It’s for the “Mayday” show at Art Whino in Washington D.C. this Friday, May 1st. The theme is global politics. The opening will be great I’m sure, so please check it out if you have the means.

Gallery 1988 has issued a limited Giclee print run of my “B-Boys Unite” piece from their “Under the Influence” Beastie Boy tribute show, and they look awesome. You can find more info here. If you happen to be in Ottawa then you oughta stop by Canteen Life, a beautiful art shop and gallery. They are currently featuring some assorted prints. Art Whino in D.C. is also exhibiting some as well if you happen to be visiting the capitol. Their exhibits are amazing.

I Can Has 80’s Sitcom Alien Puppet?

March 27th, 2009


Gallery 1988’s Idiot Box show opens April 2nd. It’s a show dedicated to television, and maybe more specifically, bad television. I chose ALF based on my childhood fascination with the dwarf powered puppet and his hunger for feline flesh . The piece is titled “We Can Has A.L.F.?”. If you are in Los Angeles, you must check out this show. I am positive that it will be insanely hilarious. Plus Mr. Belding will be there.

Kitten Mini’s

March 23rd, 2009

While sort of in the neighborhood for the Beastie show next week, I’ll be doing some live painting in Las Vegas. If you happen to live there, get this post by Friday, are not too hungover from new years, and want to see some painting along with a line up of excellent hip hop artists then I will see you there. Yup.
