The Call of Cthulamp!!!

So much time and so little done, summer is on in full force and the evil Arizona sun has sapped the drive out of little ol' me, so pardon the long pause between posts.

The Call of Cthulamp came, it saw , it conquered and was sold! A success if I do say so myself. There were many awesome lamps to be seen at the show and I like to think that Cthulamp held it's own among them, and maybe corrupted them a little, so if you feel yourself being drawn into the light, fear not, that is just your sanity slowly ebbing away...you wont be needing it anyway. ;)

COME OUT AND SEE THE LIGHT!!

Forbidden love

Goauche on Paper, The forbidden affair between the Tooth Fairy and The Easter Bunny



My tribute to my least favorite holiday, everything is closed and it's the worst of the holiday candy. ;P Hollow chocolate bunnies...what a gyp.

Home again, Home again...

This post is a bit late coming do to the onset lethargy caused by a prescription of Soma (back attack, ouch).

So what can I say about San Francisco...oh yeah, it's absolutely brilliant! Definitely now my top pick of places I want to live.
We stayed at the Hotel Kabuki in Japan town and hoofed it most of the journey arting it up as we made our merry way.
First stop was White Walls and The Shooting gallery, I had to stop here after seeing so many pics of the place in Juxtapoz. Only got a couple of strange looks at I snapped a few photos and explained that I was art blogging.
I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak of a piece by Chris Pugliese, his work is evidently striking, being that I picked it out sitting on the floor wrapped in plastic waiting for an upcoming show. Justin, a gallery employee was nice enough to unwrap it so I could get a better look.


Next stop was 111 Minna, hidden in an alley it's easy to miss if you don't keep your eyes peeled for the bright red door, but is a definite must. I was told that I had to check it out by artist friend Matt Brown (of Push Gallery in Phoenix), and I was not disappointed. From an artists perspective and from a viewers as well, I advise checking it out.


Next time I hope to catch an opening here, but we had strict plans involving a night of burlesque, featuring the remarkable..ahem..talents of the Hubba Hubba review at San Fran's DNA Lounge...but I'll save that for net time. ;)

Off I go in to the wild blue yonder....

Heading to San Francisco the day after tomorrow, and I can't wait to hit a few of the low brow galleries I see in Juxtapose, like The Shooting Gallery and White Walls.
This is my first time to San Francisco where I get to spend more than a couple of hours.

Here's a water color I finished recently called Reflecting...I haven't really decided how I feel about it, I decided not to work for perfect symmetry which I thing may have been a mistake.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY FROM ME TO YOU!

Inspired by a short story by one of my very favorite authors,Neil Gaiman, I give you Harlequin Valentine. He'll give you his heart, but what will you do with it?

More Valentines.....
