BEST WEEKEND EVER

So this past weekend was especially fun because LA artists, Jeff McMillan and Brian Kesling, came to visit! Emily from StrangeCo and Pete Gronquist rounded up some friends and we took Jeff and Brian down to good old Zeitgeist. The night led to an art making pizza party not appropriate for children, a mild food fight and a house party with Cass, the three-legged dog.








All three of these artists are in our current show, The Onset and you can check out their websites here (click their names)...

Hey, That's Joe Ledbetter!

I love this picture, so I had to post it. Joe was able to make it to the grand opening of Gallery1988 San Francisco last week. He had the best time ever - he can't hide his excitement.



The opening was a huge success and I want to thank everyone who stopped by to support the new location. This was a huge step for us and we are so thrilled about the positive response we've received so far. It's really been amazing!

And speaking of Joe Ledbetter... I took a short walk over to StrangeCo (www.strangeco.com) a few days ago to check on the Vivisect Playset toy series (which includes Luke Chueh, Joe Ledbetter, Thomas Han, Greg Simkins, Anthony Ausgang, Peter Gronquist, and Amanda Visell) and I got a sneak peak...



That's Joe's hand-painted color sample for the series and it's awesome! It's the King of Deadbeets. He sits on Emily's desk and she gets to admire him all day long. The Vivisect Playset series is due to be released late summer '07. Very exciting!!!
