Art Show at Black Star Co-op

For the next month we will have all kinds of art up at Black Star Co-op. A mix of old and new pieces to check out while you drink rad craft beer and eat rad food.

"Thought Bubbles" - think American Horror Story.

This is a piece we decided to reworked and have the most ridiculous crush on. It's huge and rocks when you see it in person. "Barbarella Gets a Facelift."

Super close-up of the reinvented Barbarella piece. 

 A section of "Double Life." She plays housewife by day and then kicks it with her homies at night.

 "1969" - original Chinese propaganda poster from 1969 cut up and redefined.

 "Joan" caught up in all kinds of light confusion. Since all of our pieces are captured within plexiglas it makes it tricky to get pictures because of the reflections. Check them out in person to get the real vision.

Stop in, grab a beer and give us a look. Soft opening Wednesday February 25th. 7020 Easy Wind Dr Suite 100.

EAST Austin Studio Tour Stop #28

Plus, there's 4 other artists and the space is loaded with rad art - seriously.

EAST Austin Studio Tour 2014

It's time for the yearly massive overload of art. EAST!!! This studio tour is the best time to see tons of Austin artists and have a great time. Our show, "Degenerate," will consist of almost all new pieces that we are super pumped to show - a definite evolution has happened with our work in the last year. We will be showing with 4 other rad artists. Swing by for a hang and a look at lots of art. Let's talk art and drink a beer.

 "Bombed" --- Valley of the Dolls style, right!?

Man, do we love her --- this girl don't play.

We'll be exposing it all.

Modern Arts Museum of Fort Worth

Living in Austin, I certainly get my mad dose of art - art in every notion fathomable. But I have to say, every time (ok, it's only been two times) I go to Fort Worth I am in serious art geek mode. The whole vibe of their art district or whatever they call it is great. My visit to the Modern Arts Museum was killer. Two videos I took - showing a glimpse of the immense collection/diversity they were currently showing. 

Sean Scully. The "holy mother of this moment" factor of this exhibit was not lost on me.

Kenny Scharf. The "holy shit I am in the most amazing New York apartment closet ever" was not lost on me. One of the best sensory overloads I have ever experienced. The video is sketchy because I had to sneak it, but I had to video this unbelievable stimulated moment of everything that is good and right and good and perfect and utter chaos and good. And did I mention, good?

Play both videos at the same time for the best viewing.

The Seventh Motel

A recent commission piece turned out so rad. Love it so much, one of the biggest pieces we've made. Had a hard time getting a picture without reflections. "The Seventh Motel."

Installed right over her amazing couch (and dog!).

A couple of close ups of the various cameos.

Yellow ... It's the New Everything

Without even realizing it, I have become addicted to yellow, and in particular, this color of yellow plexiglas. Every piece of art made, my immediate gut reaction,  "Let's assemble it on yellow." 

 

 And then the ultimate happened -- someone ordered a plaque -- on opaque YELLOW plexiglas.

It looks unbelievable -- and their house, will be noticed. In love.

WEST 2014 Group Show

April 12th is the big DUE WEST 2014 Group Show - The kickoff for the WEST Austin Studio Tour that happens in May. Well over 100 artists will have art on display (and to buy). 

"Hooked" is the piece we're showing. The pictures I took aren't the greatest, as it was a serious working up to the last moment to make the deadline.

  

We are expecting a full on stampede from all the rabid Daryl Hannah/Splash fans.

Other title options were "Hooker" "Mounting Hannah" and "Land Ho." If ya buy it, you can pick the name.


DUE WEST! April 12th 6-10pm 6406 N. IH-35, Suite 2850A

Onward

... hello there 2014. Nice to meet ya'.

2013 EAST Austin Tour Art Wrap Up

One of the highlights of living in Austin is EAST - the best collection and chance to see Austin artists. While I had to cut my usual massive artist list down because of cold and rainy weather, I still had a rad time overloading on Austin artists. Inspiring. A few of the many ....

Jessica Wagner. There's something methodically dreamy about her work that draws me in. Second year to see her work, and equally impacted as the first. I love her unique style. Saving to make this piece mine!

Bob Schneider. Never really paid much attention to his music, but his art, striking, and demands your attention. Still thinking about his show.

Always love Industry. How right on is this?!

Up Collective. Man, Jonathan Biehl - his work is big and bad and pulls you in. Stunning is an understatement. His faces/portraits/face interpretations are breathtaking.

OK Dana Brown is genius. This piece (on the left) - he cut out periods from magazines and arranged them by size. Love. And don't even get me started on the intensity of his other collage pieces - meticulously cutting tiny pieces of color to create the solid colors (as seen on the right). Remarkable. His obsessive detail blows my mind. Zoom in on the picture to appreciate the detail.

Kevin Munoz. Dang I love this piece! His studio (within OK Mountain) was great, loved everything I saw.

And the perfect plunger award goes to OK Mountain. Kinda makes you wanna clog their toilet so you can use the trophy. Batter up.

Jason Terracina. Yeah, I want one.

Stopped for a beverage break - only to be met by this - quite possibly the worst adult beverage selection I have ever seen in my life.

These pieces were at Co-lab Projects, probably my favorite curated show on the tour, entitled "Conspectus: Two Thousand Thirteen." Loved just about every piece in the show - loved the general vibe of the space. Really, a great gallery/instillation.

Yellow Jacket Social Club. Stopped in for a beer break/break from the lame cold weather and found this: Rich Cali via the Common House. Something complex in the simplicity.

 Adreon Henry And Jen Bradley. These two create the best art installations you will experience. From the visual to aural - you are engaged and required to mentally participate. My kind of party. Always my favorite art experience. Always.


I sure do love Austin artists. Continue to rock me. And to all who came out to see our show - mad thanks!

EAST Austin Studio Tour 2013 is here!

It's the best art tour ever - everybody knows EAST is where it's at to see more art than you can imagine - and more importantly, creatively badass art. It's been a real push to the end to get our show ready to go  - along with some older pieces (or shall we say "classic" pieces) we will be throwing down some new pieces. Love to tell ya more, but we're straight worn out. Here's a look at a few of the new ...

Um yeah - that is Debby Harry - losing herself.
