  • Preview: Van Arno & Melissa Forman @ Corey Helford Gallery

    Opening this Saturday, October 3rd at the Corey Helford Gallery will be a duo show featuring new works from Van Arno and Melissa Forman. This is Van Arno’s second solo show at the gallery and is entitled “A Change of Skin”, and marks a new direction for the artist “as Arno introduces multiple characters and a looser, more gestural format to his work. The exhibition will also feature 100 limited-edition silk screen show prints that will be available only at the gallery.” Then we have Melissa Forman’s second showing at the gallery as well with “Garden of Shadows”.

    Both artists are extremely talented, and being able to see both of their shows in the same gallery is a must for those that are close.

  • “Clash of the Titans” prints by Ken Taylor @ Alamo Drafthouse

The standard green and red version is limited to 110 and is $30, while the blue and purple is limited to only 40 for $55. The eyes on the blue/purple version are printed in glow in the dark ink.
    This is an amazing looking print, and seems to have come at the perfect time. I just watched Clash of the Titans this past week, it has been years since I have seen it but still holds up. This print is a perfect homage to a classic movie.
