I will be showing some art in 2 venues this weekend. Tonight from 6 to 10pm is the opening of Mexic-Arte Museum’s Mix N Mash show which I made a super new and fun piece for. Tickets are $25 and my buddies James Huizar, Randy Muniz, and Tony Diaz will also have pieces in this show. Nothing but 12×12 inch panels here. For a full list of the artists and all the details click here.
Tomorrow the Maranda Pleasant Gallery will be holding their annual 12×12 box show with every piece priced at $100 . Some of the proceeds will go to Explore Austin. There is no cover for this exhibit and you can even go before the madness from 10am to 6pm to do some early purchasing. The party is from 6pm to 10pm. A few friends will be showing work here as well including: Jeremy Burks, Will Bryant, and Zach McDonald. Apparently 25 pieces have already sold! So go, go, GOOOO!
Tomorrow is Halloween. This is very exciting news. It’s especially exciting news to my 3.5 year old daughter who is dressing up as Starlite, the magical flying horse, from the Rainbow Brite books she loves so much. She’s been talking for months about dressing up as Starlite and tomorrow her wish comes true.
Almost immediately after she decided she would dress up as Starlite she started telling Giselle that she could dress up as Lala Orange and that I should be Buddy Blue. These are 2 of the other characters in the Rainbow Brite books that she loves so much. They are part of the Colored Kids gang. Sounds pretty controversial, right? It’s pretty innocent, I think. Here is what the Colored Kids look like, with Lala and Buddy circled.
Last year for halloween I looked like I was ready to hit up the gay clubs and this year shouldn’t be any different. Giselle will probably look very beautiful, as usual.
She’s going to love me for posting that.
Oh one last thing, tomorrow night at Domy Books I will be showing a couple drawings for their annual Monster Show. Daily Juice will be there providing delicious potent punches. Mmmmmm. You should make it a point to stop by to see all the spooky monsters that will be on the walls. Here is what my drawings will look like tomorrow night, though they should have less-to-no grass behind them.
I was invited to be a part of The Sex and Death show over at the The Fifth Gallery in downtown Austin. The opening was last night but the work will be up until November 13th when there will be a closing reception.
My favorite piece in the show was by none other than my good buddy, Jeremy Burks. He is what they call “mad talented.”
Here is the drawing I did for the show.
you can view more photos from the opening night and other fabulous art submissions here. Big thank you to John Gomi and the rest of The Fifth Gallery.
If you missed the show this past Friday, Republic of Austin has a good little recap, with photos, right here. It was a great turnout. Thanks to everyone who came out!
Here is a picture I was able to find of the pieces I made for the show.
My buddy Maseman was kind enough to include me into a group show that he and the rest of The Screamer Company are putting together. The show is titled Conversation Piece and will take place on Friday, September 25th from 6-10 pm at The United States Art Authority . Here is the official poster.
I saw some of the other pieces that will be in the show today when I dropped off my pieces and, boy, are they good!
It was so much fun getting some pieces together for this show. Here are some sneak peeks of the work I did.
Tonight is the opening of the 14th Young Latino Artists art show at Mexic-Arte in Downtown Austin. My buddy Randy Muñiz will have work in the show. Randy is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. He’s incredibly talented not only at his craft but also at growing a beard. Here are a couple of Randy’s pieces that will be in the show.
That’s some good stuff! Here is the complete list of the other artists participating in the show:
My buddy Ariel Erestingcol just had an art show in Los Angeles. Ariel is a unique dude with tons of creativity and awesome theories about art and beyond. I wish I could have made it out to his opening but I could not. So, really, I can’t write about his show. However, the great Arlo Eisenberg, creator of streetwear line GOST , gives a great little review right over here.
And for his subject matter he chose people (and animals) who have achieved some measure of fame, dubious or otherwise, through the internet. Hence the name of the show, “CeWEBrities.”
Congratulations Ariel. The work looks great! The show runs through May 30th at the Sabina Lee Gallery.
New Image Art Gallery is turning 15 and to celebrate they’re having the best art show on earth. If you’re in the L.A. area this saturday and want to see magic on walls you need to go to this!! Our friend Matthew Rodriguez got invited to be in this show at the last minute. I stopped by the night before he flew out to L.A. Here are some pictures of some of his work.
This is an art critic that was going to try to go check out the show on Saturday. Everytime I see this puppet he is far from sober. He told me he lost his legs in Nam.
WOW! John Trippe of Fecal Face visited Jeremy Fish in his studio a few weeks ago while he was preparing for his show at FIFTY24SF titled Ghosts of the Barbary Coast. I was blown away when I checked out the interview and I had to share it with you all. The work for the current show looks amazing!! If you’re in the bay area during the next 10 days you have to go experience this.
This travelling exhibition opened in the nation’s capital of Washington DC on the third anniversary of Katrina, and it has now come to the capital city of Texas.Way Down in New Orleans unites an array of New Orleans-based artists with artists nationwide, five artists hailing from Austin…
