More Black Friday Fun

We're releasing a TON of prints on Black Friday, so we figured we'd show off two more today before you sit down to eat bird.



Leontine Greenberg's recent Venice sold out show was a HUGE hit, we knew we had to release a print. So we went to our blog and Facebook and had the fans pick which print they would like to see produced from the show. And Ferry Man was the winner! One of my favorites from the show as well, now as a signed and numbered giclee print, will be available on Friday!



This time Scott Belcastro takes aim at everyone's favorite driver, making a great companion for the Boyes screenprint. The original of this was sold privately recently and ANYONE who came in the gallery and saw it, freaked out over it, so there will be a VERY limited run of these, first available on Friday.

Good luck, guys!

LeonTIME *nailed it*

We want to thank everyone who came out to, and purchased the beautiful pieces from, the Leontine Greenberg show. Leontine is one of our FAVORITE artists, so to see everyone else agrees is always a great feeling. Leontine, came out to the show, and is really fun to hang out with (I know that seems like a weird detail, but SHE IS!). You can hang with her too at the Crazy 4 Cult signing today, just to make sure we aren't lying.

We also want to thank our friends at NotCot, for this great feature of the exhibit. Click the picture below for the article.

And a reminder, you can see all of the Leontine's show by CLICKING HERE.

Also, be on the lookout for two new Leontine prints, one from her solo and one inspired by The Dark Crystal from Crazy 4 Cult 5!

In the midst of the craziness

I was able to go down to LA last week to help out at the Crazy 4 Cult 4 show and it was pretty insane. Just like old times, the gallery was packed and it was really nice to see everyone and even meet a few artists for the first time in person.

BUT we are now back in SF, focusing on our new show that opens this FRIDAY. Leontine Greenberg and Lawrence Yang will be the featured artists (two of my personal favs). We have all the artwork in here in the gallery and it's a GREAT show!! Here are some sneak previews...

The show is up for another week, so definitely stop by the LA gallery to check it out in person, if you haven't seen it yet.

As our current shows wind down, we are gearing up for our May shows. We have Mark Brown coming up in LA, which is going to be AMAZING, and a children's book themed group show in SF, which I am personally so excited about. At 27 years old, I am still a huge fan of children's books, and I've been waiting for this show for a long time and it finally opens on May 1st. Lucky blog readers, I have some preview pics for you!

Anne-Julie Aubry inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll



Seiji Yonehara inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, Charles Perrault

This is just a small sampling of the amazing artwork that's being delivered for this show. We'll post more preview pics in a few days, so stay tuned!
