at inferno...

wednesday night i took a few friends to gallery 1988, the long way all the way down Melrose. it was a bright night. Dante's Inferno was a great theme, which i should totally finish reading, haha. these two are my favorite from the show...
this was an entire series depicting aspects of hell...
i told my friend, i wouldn't leave until i got Luke Chueh's autograph, and we hung around until i did!
Afterward we ate dinner at Swingers, a diner that had scenes in Knocked Up.
thanks to my friends that came out in the middle of the week; so much fun for a weeknight!
luke chueh is one of my best friend's favorite artists, and since she couldn't come, i say this night was dedicated to connie.

culver city art scene...

saturday afternoon, a few friends and i went art gallery hopping in the art district of culver city. we stoped by the George Billis gallery, Blum & Poe, Walter Macial gallery, Taylor De Cordoba who was showing intricate Melissa Manfull works...

the Kim Light Gallery with a beautiful space showing Kim McCarty watercolors, and a sense of humor about possible homosexuals on the premises...


i thiink it was the Cherry and Martin gallery we saw an original Andy Warhol drawing...

our main attraction was Luke Chueh's solo show at the Corey Helford Gallery, From Light Cometh Darkness. we missed the opening the night before, but sometimes it's nice to be able to just look at the work without navigating a crowd...
guitar gero (above) amused me, but rabbitoise (below) was my favorite...
i never realized he painted on wood blocks. it was a great show; so glad we went.
