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”

At the Gallery 1988 in San Francisco, Kathie Olivas has a solo show called “Bittersweet”. The show looks amazing and I like I stated in a previous post, there is a huge amount of work to be seen. Check it out Here.
Brian Horton has a show/contest at the Strychnin Gallery in Germany. The opening night will reveal the winner of the lucky lady that was able to get a portrait painted by Brain Horton. Check it out Here.
Kathie Olivas also has a new print available in the Circus Posterus store. It’s a print from one the pieces that will be shown at Gallery 1988. So if you don’t have the ability to go to the show, you can still get a print that most likely people will have to wait in line for. The print is called “The Desecrationists” (shown) and is from an edition of only 25. You can get it here.

If your in the Los Angeles area (Costa Mesa) this weekend, Kat Von D’s “Musink” festival is going on. Music, art and tattoos. There is a huge list of artists I would love to see, not to mention get tattooed by Hannah Aitchison or Bob Tyrrell. Looks like it’s going to be a great turnout, that those of us that can’t go will no doubt see on “L.A. Ink” in the coming weeks. Visit Musink here
The shows im most excited about open this Saturday at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York. Lori Earley is having a solo show called “Fade to Gray”, and Tara Mcpherson (shown) is having a solo show called “Lost Constellations”. I’m a huge fan of both of these artists and would love to see them in the same gallery. Visit Here

Opening February 29th at the Gallery 1988 in San Francisco, Kathie Olivas will have a solo show entitled “Bittersweet”. The show will feature new paintings, along with custom vinyl figures and some sculptures.
The show looks amazing, there is so much work being displayed it’s pretty staggering. I’m so glad that there are sculptures at this show, it’s not often that you get to see sculpture work like this. My favorite piece so far is “The Decider (with Parasite)” shown above. It’s oil on epoxy resin and is a huge 23 inches tall.
If you want to check out the preview and maybe buy some work before the show officially opens, head on over to the preview.

The grand opening of the new ISM Gallery starts at 7pm. There is a massive list of artists that will have some work there: Aaron Kraten, Andrew Hem, Angie Mason, Chet Zar, Dave Chung, Derek Hess, Haubs, Kelly Vivanco, Ken Garduno, Kristian Olson and many more. What a killer show, so many of these artists are Creep favorites. Visit
Then we have the Deep Pop show at the Kenneth Chapman Gallery. It opens the 27th and will feature another massive list of artists. The show is supposed to act as “one of the largest surveys to date of Pop Surrealism etc etc”. Some of the artists I would love to see work from here are: Lori Earley, Ron English, Sarah Joncas, Ben Kehoe, Travis Louie, Jenn Porreca, Keith Weesner and my buddy David Macdowell. Visit
At the Corey Helford Gallery the amazing Chris Anthony will be showing his new works. The show is called “I’m The Most Normal Person I Know”, I love the name and I know the works will be quite amazing. Visit
Finally we have a monster show at the Windup Gallery. Childrens art is reimagined through artists much like the Monster Engine. There are some great shows at the Windup Gallery, but the all flash site drives me away. It detracts from the show and doesn’t make the site very accessible. I think theres a reason many gallery sites are simple. Visit

Shooting Gallery will be having a show at the Sundance festival entitled “Sundance X”. It opens this saturday in Park City, Utah.
The show will feature work by Shawn Barber, Anne Faith Nichols, Joshua Petker, Kukula, Stella Im Hultberg, Mike Maxwell, Paul Chatem, Travis Louie, Kris Lewis and I guess some surprise artists.
If you head over to the site now you can see some of the work. I really love the piece by Kris Lewis, I can’t think of a painting of his that hasn’t blown me away. Paul Chatem (shown) as well. I got hooked on his work when it was still minimal as far as the feel of the paintings went, he is getting more and more exciting with all the action going on in each piece.
Check out the show here: Sundance X

This is a two person show featuring Camilla d’Errico and Sarah Joncas. Sarah was one of the first artists that I interviewed, and I’m very excited about all the great shows she has been having. I should have been a little faster and bought some of her work, I know it would get to the point that her work would sell out at every show I just didn’t think it would happen this fast.
The show opens on January 11th at the Thinkspace Gallery in L.A. The reception is from 7pm until 11pm. If you can head to the show, take some pics and share them with me. I’ll be at home looking at the pics of the show on my pitiful little monitor.
“Sour Hearts & Sweet Tarts”

Tonight at the Fifty24 gallery in San Francisco, Ben Tour’s solo show entitled “Underbelly” opens. The reception is from 7- 9:30pm.
Ben Tour is excellent, his work is always very dynamic and fun to look at. I’m glad this show is so close, it gives me the ability to see his work in person. Looking at art in person is very important. I’ll have a new article about this topic in the next few days.
If your in the area make you you stop by the show. You have till January 31st to see it, but that’s not reason to not see it soon. There may even be prints from the show.
