Hello Monday

We just got back from vacation and I'm absolutely exhausted! It's tough to get back into work mode, but I'm really excited about our shows opening this week! We have Beastie Boys opening in LA on Thursday and Nathan Stapley's solo show opening on Friday in SF! And to top it all off, we just opened Tom Haubrick's online show at www.88point5.com this afternoon. Here is a sampling of Tom's show...

Happy New Year

Happy 2009!

The SF and LA galleries close this week every year to take a small break and relax a little bit. I'm down in Jamaica right now, in the middle of nowhere and it is amazing. We just watched a small group of dolphins swim by! This place is incredible!

This is the first time I've had internet access since being here, so we really do feel out of touch from the rest of the world. I was a little nervous checking my email that something might have gone horribly wrong at home since we've been away. But everything is fine!

I'm returning home soon to get back to work and kick off our 2009 schedule! We have two great shows coming up that we're working on in SF. The first is our new www.88point5.com show featuring the super talented Tom Haubrick.



The show opens on January 5th at www.88point5.com. Jensen and I are both really excited for this one! Take a look at Tom's website in the meantime to check out his artwork... http://haubscomix.com

Then on Jan. 9th we open Nathan Stapley's solo show "Faces and Spaces."



Before I left for Jamaica, I spoke to Nathan and he plans on delivering 100 small paintings for the show! I was so excited when I heard this, the gallery is going to look awesome and there will be a ton of work in the show! It's also the first time we'll have live music in the SF gallery. Nathan's little brother is going to perform at the opening!

I hope you all have a relaxing New Year and we'll see you soon! Our 2009 show schedules for SF and LA are really impressive, so get ready!

Prints Update

We have prints on the way!

Alex Pardee is at the SF gallery today signing his Crazy 4 Cult prints...







I'm going to pack them up today and ship to the LA gallery, where they will be released next week! Here is the entire set of 6, which will be sold individually or as a complete set.


Alex Pardee
The Cult Series:
Baseball Furie #1, Edward Scissorhands, Ash, Sloth, Johnny Eck, Cop #4
giclee prints on archival paper
8 x 10 inches (each print)
limited edition of 50
$40.00 each or $200.00 for the set of 6

Alex is one of the artists in our Vivisect Playset show that's up right now. He has three amazing ink drawings in the show. The detail in these pieces is incredible. Viewing these online really doesn't give them justice. I wish you could all see the work in person.


Squid-Kid Is Dead. And I Have The Proof


I Took Care Of The Giant Chicken Problem


The Hunt For The Giant Kitten Is Over - SOLD

We also got the Dan Goodsell work in from his online show at www.88point5.com.



We're starting to ship them out to make sure they arrive in time for Christmas. So, to everyone who bought a Goodsell piece, keep an eye out cause they're on their way!

Dan's show will contiune through Dec. 23rd, so check out www.88point5.com to see the rest of the work that's still available. Next up, we have Tom Haubrick, which is going to be another great show!



Back to prints...

We are very excited to announce the Kendra Binney prints have arrived and are now available for purchase at the SF gallery.

And finally, the Krista Huot "Snowfall on Poppies" prints are almost ready! The poor prints were held hostage in customs on their way to Canada. We sent them to Krista to sign, number and hand embellish the prints so long ago and they just made it to her yesterday. So, fingers crossed that the prints don't get held up again on the way back to the gallery! If everything goes as planned, we will have them next week. I'm SO sorry for the delay on these prints.
