Post The Hollow Gallery & Halloween Toy Show
My fiancee and I are opening a gallery in Portland in the next couple months with our first show happening in August.

Posting about it here because we plan to do some toy shows throughout the year, and the first one will be a Halloween themed custom show this October.

So far the list of confirmed contributors looks like this..

splurrt
velocitron
monstrehero
grumble toy
steven erst
beak
spencer hibert
ButcherBrand
HipHopRobot
Bwana Spoons
Josh Herbolsheimer
Walter Parenton (Bobby Beast)
and myself

I've contacted and will be contacting more people so expect this list to grow.

also.. hiphoprobot and grizli will be at the opening doing halloween tattoos :)

Post Re: The Hollow Gallery & Halloween Toy Show
The opening for the show was yesterday, and most of the people on my list ended up not sending stuff...

so my small list looks like this...

uamou
monstrehero
grumble toy

there are some micro kusogons on there way as well, but they didnt make it to the opening.

most of the uamou stuff is already sold out.

super thank you to everyone who sent things. and also super thank you to michael for busting out some awesome art in the last week since moving to portland.

heres a link to whats available...

Post Re: The Hollow Gallery & Halloween Toy Show
That's a shame. Sorry, Jesse. Did it at least work out where there were enough pieces to fill up the space then?

I can only imagine what it must have felt like to promote the show announcing the inclusion of those artists, and come opening night, you only have work of 3 of them to display. Yikes, man. :?

You know what though? It was only yalls' 1st exhibit! Of Course you wanted it to go off w' a Bang, BUT unfortunately things happen, so shrug it off and Here's to your next show!

Big Thumbs Up to the Artists who stuck with it, and Awesome work!

With the help of some pieces from my collection i was able to put a nice little display together...

michael did a fun mural the night before the opening. Everyone who came by enjoyed the show (it was our 3rd opening actually). I still would have liked to see all the other toys though.

And bwana, let me know when you have stuff and ill grab it from the hut.
