A Pile of SICK AND EVIL News….

Mr. Schibi just posted a really nice synopsis of everything he is doing right now (hint: it’s a lot). If you like his work you should check out the full post to see everything he is up to, but here is just the part about our upcoming show together:

Speaking of painting & maximus erections…I’ve been doing just that like crazy the last few months in anticipation of “LoveSick”, a three-person show consisting of the talented Heather Hansma, Josh Buckenberger & myself.

Opening reception will be NEXT Saturday, Feb. 4th, 7-10pm, at LIFT Gallery in Detroit.  I’ve completed eight new pieces for the show that I can’t wait to share with you, so if you’re in the area come say “hi” to my paintings….they may just high five you back & force you to take them home with you.  All paintings will be up online for purchase that Saturday night for those that can’t make it, so check back as I’ll be posting all information &; paintings right here.  Here’s my sneak peek, promotional piece that I’ll have prints of at ARTSLAM! this Saturday & available at my store soon!:

I love how the term “maximus erections” is completely out of context with me cutting everything else out. Priceless.

Happy Serum: Press Roundup

I can hardly believe how fast time flies and that our show is opening tomorrow. We’ve put a heck of a lot of hours into putting this together and it all culminates in a big ol’ party tomorrow. Here are some of the articles some nice folks have written about the show:

The Romeo Observer - Happy Serum art show features 3 pop surrealists

The Oakland Press - Starkweather Arts Center gives metro Detroit ‘Happy Serum’

The Macomb Daily - A dose of ‘Happy Serum’ at Starkweather Arts Center

Advisor & Source - Artists bring unique works to Starkweather exhibit (Note: the pictures in the article show one of my prints, but the other works are that of Emi Slade (the cyclops sculpture) and Daniel Allyn Lee’s Happycloud Thunderhead plushies.)

CW50 - “Happy Serum”

Perfect Laughter - Happy Serum Opens on June 3 at Starkweather Arts Center

Whew! I’m pretty stoked for tomorrow. Hope to see you there!

Emi Slade’s “Plated” opens @ Woods Gallery

Metro-Detroit artist Emi Slade served up a plethora of gourmet extraterrestrial delights with the opening of Plated, her solo exhibit at the Woods Gallery.

Her collection of new sculptures were a veritable smorgasbord of alien delights with wide eyed herb encrusted creatures, forlorn ice cream plops and cephalopods cradled with fruit.

The show will be up through June 23rd so make sure to swing by and check it out.

I was working at Starkweather last night and missed this, but my “assistant” (seriously, nobody tell my significant other that I have assigned this title to him) went in my place and came back with excited tales of wonder. I’ll be headed over sometime soon to see it all in person.
