for those who don't trend in the Whatever waters... Sorry Carl for doubling up. Hope you and LASK don't mind

So, depending on how you look at things this is our FINAL exhibit at our current location (more details to follow). After two and a half years exhibiting in Long Beach, we're moving on and the future is bright. With that being said, here are the dirty details and I am hoping that we'll see some of you attending because I can assure you this show is going to be outstanding.

Looking at the Sun : A Group Exhibit

Opening Reception : Saturday, December 12th from 6pm til...

Artists : Rotor, Zosen, Roope Alho, Saddo, Maciej Wodniak, Fefe Talavera, Melina Rodrigo, Lindsay Campbell, Kenji Toyooka, Howie Tsui, Maria Lezon, Stefan Thompson, Zeke, Scott Harber, Dietrich Rosteck, Drew Mosley, Jeremy McConnell, Pierre Richardson, Dave Cooper, Kari Cwynar, Sara Cwynar, Batya Cavens, Aaron LaShomb, Luke Ramsey, Dario Petruzzi, eepmon, James Erdeg, Stephanie Page’, Carl Ruttan, Isabelle Pouliot, Bruno Souliere, Dixon / Royal, Pedro Cuevas, Sarah McNeil, Bennett Slater, Remi Theriault, Chris Sheppard, Taka Sudo (TiFdyL), Sebastian Millar, Anna MacLellan, Melvyn Herrick, Nick Deakin, Paul Sharp, Brian Watson, Sandow Birk, Jeff McMillan, Anita Sinclair, Marisa Sayler, Melissa Devine, John Culqui, Danica Ristow, Jay Sagen, Jane Bauman, Anthony Gordon, Desiree Devergilio, Iaian Greenson, Ibie, Amy Thompson, Mark Leysen, Elyse Pignolet, Hilary Norcliffe, Rob Kruse, Sue Blanchard, Brooke Kent, John Scane, Matt Wignall, Matt Maust, David Michael Lee and Sarah Arnold. We actually expect some surprise artists as well

We'll be selling work traditionally as well as silent auction and special cash n' carry pieces will also be available. Surprise performance pieces will also be happening throughout the exhibit times. We're planning on rotating out the installation works weekly as well. The ones by Sandow Birk and Elyse Pignolet are amazing! There are two.

Anyway, this is not at all my normal press release type material, but I figured the list of participating artists would be enough to prique up your ears (and eyes). I really hope to see some of the board members here attend. And, as usual, free booze.

Digital preview will be up soon and interest in any of the work... you know how to get in touch. Thanks everyone!

how will you fit so much in such a tiny space?

that's what she said.

Salon style

Top to bottom

What has me concerned are the two installation pieces from Sandow and Elyse... You've been here and know that though the ceilings are high, the width aint, so... All I can say is aside from it being a really great exhibit with amazing work, it's gonna be interesting. After this I don't think space size is gonna be an issue. We're off to do work with the LB Museum and the City of LB

Way to go Maz

what's up this coming weekend. Will be there from Thurs. -Sun in Echo Park. Any LASK around?

when did Echo Park become cool?

when I was growing up near there, it was kinda ghetto.

i hear it still is in some parts. Also heard it's kind of the equivalent of a west coast Brooklyn.

Echo Park is hipster central, since Silverlake up and came.

SIlverlake aside: Maybe 5 yrs ago my work mates missus was in Gelsons Market on Hyperion at lunchtime and she spotted Christine Ricci on one Aisle and three over was Gwen Stefani...

well, Silverlake has always been cool.

Most of my lunches in high school were across the street from that market (wasn't Gelson's at that time)....Burito King!

I'm having band practice in hipster silverlake sunday..where ya gonna be around you can pm me if you are free..I'll be with some friends in the area

yeah, most definitely. I don't know what time but we're leaving Sunday. If I'm still around I'll hit you up. I'll probably working at the new Mishka store all weekend. What's good as far as toys go around there?

March 31 in Hollywood:

MEGADETH ~ TESTAMENT ~ EXODUS

Who's down?

hey bob, double check the date on it. they postponed the date out here from February to August

aside from that, i saw Testament and Megadeth open for Priest years ago...great show!

It's what's on the Megadeath website. I did see that a bunch of shows were postponed though. I saw Megadeth in 1995. Korn opened up for them.

and its at one of our venues, right next door to work at teh Palladium - except we'll have moved offices by then.

Wouldnt mind seeing Megadeth - not sure about teh rest of em tho to be honest (cue metal outrage)

looks like you guys are getting Exodus too!

fuck megadeth... testament fucking kills

I'm down like charlie brown! was looking for someone to see this show with

If any of you are free tomorrow(4/10) and want something to do, I'm in a group gallery show with an awesome science faire theme. The gallery is a bunch of animation friends I went to school with. If you want to see a preview of my work in the show there are links below.

Today and tomorrow, the Artwalk is going on at the Brewery, and I'm opening my studio for the first time since I've been located there. (I dropped my camera and broke it, so I'm trying to raise a little extra cash for a replacement.)

The upstairs toy sanctuary is going to be off-limits to the regular slobs, but if any skullbrainers come by and say the secret word, I might take you on a tour of sofubi island.

My studio is 690 Moulton, Unit B, in one of the brick building in back of the complex, across from the UPS depot. It's the only unit with bright yellow doors. Come by and buy something!!!!

came by mid-afternoon, but sadly the boat to sofubi island had apparently already set sail. great complex - must be a fun place to work.

Sorry - I got shut down by "The Man" because I didn't pay the 150 bucks registration fee! I thought my rent was my frigging registration fee, but you can't beat city hall.

i rolled out too... sucks you got shut down. thanks for the heads up though... i'd been wanting to go out there anyway... a very cool place, saw some good stuff.

You telling me that they bar you from even having "guests", someone can't just knock on your door and pay you a visit?
I was thinking of dropping by tomorrow. Open House is apparently not that Open. Sorry!
