On July 5th, at Munky King in Los Angeles will be the Whaleboy release party. Whaleboy is a new collectible created by Patrick Morgan.
There is even a goth version that will be available, limited to 100 pieces. Also during the show art inspired by Whaleboy will be there too look at.
Whaleboy is a seriously cool character. The goth version looks pretty cool, although I do wish they would make the gimp version shown on the right there. Also you can take a look at art from Bobby Chiu inspired by Whaleboy, right here.
Here are the sites:

The Glenn Barr solo show at Outre Gallery in Australia is now online. Wish I could have seen it, but thats a lil too far for me. Hopefully someday I will be able to see his work in person.
His work is really amazing, the way he uses color and the way he draws figures really blows me away. I like how he is able to draw normal looking people (like above) and also more cartoon like figures that have so much character to them. I picked the above piece for the color, that blue looks great and really adds to the face of the woman.
Head on over to the site and check out the show:

In case you haven’t seen the pics from the Vader Project, I just now got around to it, you can find a whole mess of them on the following two links.
The first link is for the Vader Project Flickr account. Each helmet has two angles and the description card. Easiest way to start the Flickr one, is choose the normal Vader helmet and then move on in order. Helps you to see who made which helmet. Flickr Vader
Or if you don’t care, and maybe wanted to just guess, head over to the second link. All the images are one page, so it will take a bit to load. I’m not sure that every helmet is accounted for. Vader
The one I chose above is from Jeff Soto, I really love his style.

Edwin Ushiro has a solo show that opens this saturday at the Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, CA.
If your in the area, make sure to stop by. This is Edwin’s first solo show, and by the looks of the two teaser shots there is going to be some great work there. The opening reception starts at 7pm and will go on to around 11pm.
The piece shown above is one of the works that will be shown at the solo show. It looks amazing, I love the stains and the way the figure just looms in the midst of waves and all. Hopefully there will some prints at the show, and online later.

On this Friday June 1st Lineage Gallery is opening two shows. The first show called “Forgotten Lands” features artwork by Naoto Hattori and Greg “Craola” Simkins. Both artists have a very surreal style to them, it really is a good match for the two.
The second gallery area will be showing work from Anne Faith Nicholls. So if your actually there, you can check out both shows.
If you head over to the Lineage website to gawk, like I will be, you might want to look in the inventory area. They have great Craola giclee available (below). It’s from an edition of 50 and looks very sweet.

It looks like it will be in 3 phases, with this first phase showing work from such artists as: Sarah Joncas (above), Aaron Jasinski, Amy Sol, Andrew Hem, Audrey Kawasaki and so on.
head over to the site and see the works, its definitely going to be a good show.
