Our friends at Hi-Frutose and interviewer/artist/magician Nathan Spoor posted a GREAT interview with Dan May, as we enter the weekend before "Into The Wild," Dan's first solo show at G1988:LA. The work for this show is so stunning, and you get to see some serious peeks in this article.

May In June

We are so happy to have our newest show, "Into The Wild," a solo exhibit from artist Dan May, opening this Tuesday, June 8th, from 7-10 PM at G1988:LA. Dan is easily one of our favorite artists, and this will be the first time we have a large group of his work here in the gallery at one time. Dan's creatures are always able to convey such emotion, almost like we know exactly what the inhabitants of his world are thinking, without a word said. Dan will also be at the gallery for the opening, so you might want to take this opportunity to come by the reception and meet the man himself.

As this week goes on, we'll get you more previews for sure. And if you're interested in getting a preview of this show for purchases, and are not yet on our preview list, feel free to email us at gallery1988@aol.com and have "Preview List" in the subject of your email.

Eddie

For our new show, The Vivisect Play VI, we released a VERY special print by artist Dan May and I wanted to feature it on the blog today, just to make sure you know it's available.

One of the runaway favorites from our last Crazy 4 Cult show, Dan May's "Portrait of a Gentle Man" is now available as a limited edition giclee print. Dan is one of our favorite artists and we're excited to be working with him much closer in 2010! This print, which is 12 x 16 inches, hand-signed and numbered and from an edition of only 50. They are $75.00 and would make an incredible gift. 

Again, just keeping you in the loop. And so you know, stay tuned, cause tonight, the loop is about to get way more crazy.

It's May

New print announcement for ya!



Our first giclee print with Florida artist Dan May is called "The Moment Before Waking," and it's one of the most stunning prints we've published to date. It's a 12 x 16 inch giclee print on archival paper from a hand-signed and numbered edition of only 50. I also think these prints are a bargain at $75 - especially when you see them in person. They will first be available this Thursday, May 21, at 11 AM PST at G1988: LA. You can email us at gallery1988@aol.com or call us at (323) 937 - 7088 to pick one up.

You should definately pick one of these up.

I Get By

THANKS TO EVERYONE who came out last night to the opening reception of "Cackle Factory," and we want to personally thank Brandt Peters for putting together such an impressive collection for his debut LA solo show. I've always felt such a strong connection to Brandt and seeing him put so much effort into this, really just reaffirms my love for the man (no on Prop 8). And related, thanks to his wife, Kathie Olivas, for her help and her contributions to the show, as the collaborations were BIG hits last night.

For those who haven't seen the show, and don't live in LA, you can check it all out by CLICKING HERE. But if you do live in LA, we highly suggest stopping by the gallery. Maybe after your weekly stop at the Hot Wings spot across the street. I C U.

Also, small note about last night. It all felt very positive. I could argue that every show feels positive, but I'd kind of be lying. There were so many incredible artists there - Sas & Colin Christian (who flew in to LA for like 6 hours to be there and support), Nathan Spoor, Lola, Jenny Mollen, Travis Louie, Greg Simkins, Ruel Pascual, Misha, and more I'm sure I forgot right now. But they all were such a strong community last night. Even Dan May called during the show to say he wished he could be there. I think as time goes on, and we hit the 5-10 year mark of this scene (meaning the 25-35 year old artists not painting motorcycles) finally getting traditional art galleries to show this work - it will all work itself out and competition amongst everyone will seem so stupid. Everyone is finding their groove and everyone seems so happy about it.

And Boy, Are My Arms Are Tired

Back from a whirlwind trip to SF to catch The G1988/Luke Chueh fiesta "Vivisect Playset (Round 5)" and getting the space ready for what is sure to be an attention-filled exhibit, "Without You I'm Just Me," featuring the work of Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) and Travis McCoy (Gym Class Heroes). Listen, getting preview email requests from Pharrell Williams just doesn't happen much in our parts. In addition to the Wentz/McCoy art skills, the two rock stars also did some collaborations with 1988 familiar faces like Greg Simkins, Luke Chueh, Jeff McMillan and Buff Monster. While long-time desired artist, Dan May, makes his G1988: LA debut, with a team up as well - seen below...



Fall Out Boy lead singer, Patrick Vaughn Stump is also rumored to be contributing a piece. Gonna be good times. And our homies at GelaSkins created dope iPod skins to celebrate the opening reception, which is this Tuesday night.



The public reception is 6-9 PM, Private Friends and Family jump-off is 9-11 PM. The gallery has a few spots for the VIP reception, so shoot over an email if I know you enough to expect that you won't be creepy.

Anyway, back to the grind.
