Happy Food...

I stopped by this exhibit after brunch and it was ridiculously adorable.

 The show was at Gallery 1988: East.

 The paintings were by Cuddly Rigor Mortis

 It's on display until June 6th, 2015.

 Delicious!

LA Art Book Fair

I know this is a super delayed post, but I had a fabulous time at the LA Art Book Fair held at the MOCA Geffen.

 It was overwhelming awesomeness.

 It also demolished my budget for the month.

Beast Ashtray x Known Gallery

 Joe Hahn made a movie called Mall, and this show was different artist interpretations of the movie. Even though I haven't seen the movie, the pieces were so amazing. 

My favorites were by Tristan Eaton...

 Axis...

 Mike Shinoda...

 

and James Jean.

 Also, mind blown when I saw Dabs and Myla chatting with Mike Shinoda.

Joss Whedon x Gallery 1988

I stood in line opening night for the Joss Whedon tribute show at Gallery 1988. It was so fun looking for obscure references to Whedon's shows/movies. I wish there were more Dollhouse pieces though.

My favorite piece from the show is of River from Firefly

Alex Pardee's piece was amazing!

Art Collector Starter Kit II

I brought a couple friends to Corey Helford's Circa gallery for the Art Collector Starter Kit show. We had a fangirl moment with Brandi Milne

Good Knight...

 The Merry Karnowsky gallery held Craola's solo show, "Good Knight" May 17th, 2014.

 He steps it up every single time.

 I cannot stop staring at all the details and hidden imagery, especially when the size of a lot of the new paintings are enormous.

 "The Hunting Party" was one of my favorite pieces that night.

Rap Quotes...

Come find me at G1988:E this Friday night.

50 Shades of Black...

What's stopping me from going to an art show in the middle of the week? I'm so tempted.

Hot Pot Girls...

In late October, I went to GR2 for the book signing by Katsuya Terada and to see his Hot Pot Girls show.

 The amount of detail is insane.

 Pages from sketchbooks were framed for the exhibit.

 His book is FULL of amazing work over a ridiculously awesome career.

Bunnywith...

I must back track because I've been terrible about updating my blog. Alex Pardee's Bunnywith show was October 19, 2013 at Gallery 1988: East.

Charlie and I stood in a tolerable line, and were treated to hundreds of affordable pieces. Pardee was there in his Bunnywith head piece passing out 5x7" prints by the door, and signing prints, books, and toys. He seemed like such a happy, sweet guy despite the demented scenarios that spew from his brain into his art. It's a fabulous amalgam.

 There were SO many bunnywiths. Bunnywith Helium was my favorite.

You like robots and donuts, right?

Of course you do...

so, go see Eric Joyner's First World Problems show at Corey Helford Gallery this weekend.

Daft punk art...

This group show looks amazing! It opens May 18th at the Gauntlet Gallery in San Francisco. Wish I could be there.

one of those nights...

 April 13th, no one was available to play with me, but that doesn't mean I won't have an adventure on my own, especially on one of those nights in Culver city where all my favorite galleries are having an opening at the same time. I started at LeBasse Projects for Trusto Corp's "The Future is Blight" show featuring an installation that blanketed LA county with care packages for poverty.

 Polaroids of the care packages spell HELP across Los Angeles.

 Trusto Corp collaborated with Shepard Fairey, London Police, and David Flores for Trusto Cereal flavors.

 Next door at Thinkspace was Meggs' "Heavenly Creatures," filled with bold colors in motion.

 Of course, I loved the phoenix.

 Blum and Poe, around the block was exhibiting in their expansive space "Arhat" by Takashi Murakami. I originally thought I missed opening night since I saw posts from the VIP opening, but I was very happy to discover I was wrong.

 I was obsessed with this metal sculpture. For an idea of how big it was, the smallest skull was a little bigger than my own head.

 At Corey Helford Gallery, Kazuki Takamatsu's "Japanese Ideology of Puberty" show was mind blowing.

The details and textures and size of everything very much made my jaw drop.

 After all that, I treated myself to some Cool Haus ice cream.
