Tonight at the Gallery 1988 in San Francisco, Stella im Hultberg’s solo show “Silent Spring” opens up. The reception starts at 7pm and will go until 10pm. There will be a mini print set released, with 5% of the sets containing an original drawing, and a larger print.
There is a preview of the show online, a good majority of the work has already sold. I imagine the prints are going to sell very fast tonight. I love the new oil on canvas works that she has been making, and cant wait to see these in person. I’ll be heading to the reception and will post photos during the weekend.

If your like me you missed the opportunity to go to the “Revelations” workshop put on by Conceptart.org, where one of the many artists teaching there was Michael Hussar. It was a great opportunity, and you can see what you missed in these photos by Phil Holland.
It now looks like there will be another chance, this time in Pasadena instead of Seattle. Michael Hussar will be teaching a 3 day painting workshop the end of this month. The workshop will be taking place the weekend of the 28, 29 & 30th. More details will be announced, but I imagine if you want to go to this, do not wait. Head on over to BirdBath Publishing and reserve your spot now. This is a great opportunity to learn from such an amazing painter. Make sure to message me and brag if you go.

On a side note, it looks as though there is a “Hans Memling” and “Daddy’s Little Girl” print for sale as well.

The SF Fetish Ball Gallery show was great. I had to get a press pass to be able to take pictures in the show, but thanks to SFWeekly I was able to do that. I managed to pull off around 230 pictures, once I pruned them down though I ended up with 100.
The highlight of the show was being able to see Michael Hussar’s paintings in person. The paintings were amazing, and really show why viewing paintings on the internet and in print isn’t the best way to enjoy art. “Vasoline” in particular was huge and took up a majority of the stage area. “Gummer” along with “Saliva” were also huge in size. They were both being supported by soft benches. It was great to able to see all the brush strokes and details in each one of the paintings.
At 11 pm they had an auction. Prints were being auctioned off to help out Philip Warner who also had some work on view at the show. The “White Devil” print by Michael Hussar hit $900. I don’t think you can find that print at a cheap price anymore, but the “Hans Memling” print is still available as well as “Still Life with a Smile” both still around $350.
If you ever have a chance try to see Michael Hussar’s work in person. I like to see any work in person, but this was a great opportunity to see the work of an artist that isn’t flooding the market with hundreds of prints and paintings. These are highly skillful and meticulously created works of art. Modern day masterpieces really.
Check out pictures from the show on the Creep Machine flickr area: SF Fetish Ball Gallery Show
And if you want to grab some prints by Michael Hussar, head on over before the price gets too high. Micheal Hussar prints

Opening the 7th at La Luz De Jesus gallery will be “Everything But The Kitschen Sync”, a no themed huge group show.

This Thursday night, march 6th will be the opening of two art shows. I’ll be at both of the shows, taking pictures and just enjoying the art.
First is a solo show at Varnish Art “The Turning Time” by Michael Page. I really dig his work and Varnish is one of my favorite galleries to visit. The gallery looks great and there is always amazing art to view. Check it out Here
Next is the SF Fetish Ball Gallery Show at the DNA Lounge. The artists that will be featured there are Michael Hussar, Alan Daniels, Philip Warner, Allan Amato, Collin J Rae, Oliver Mendoza & Jody Cortes. I’m super excited to finally be able to see Michael Hussar’s paintings in person. I’m not sure what paintings will be there to view, I’m happy to see any of them really. There will also be an auction at 11pm and music by dj trevor simpson. Check it out Here

Andrew Bell, of “Creatures in My Head” fame, is having solo show at the Gallery 1988 in L.A. and it opens up March 4th. The show will run until March 27th.
You can look and maybe purchase the work right now. The show looks great, much like the Kathie Olivas show in the SF Gallery 1988, Andrew has all sorts of work to show. Paintings, toys, sculptures and drawings. I think it’s great when you have such a variety of mediums to look at. My favorite work from him has always been the little framed drawings that he does, such as the ‘Everything is Fine’ piece.
You can see the show here: Andrew Bell “Burning Desire”
