  • Photos: “Draw” @ Shooting Gallery SF

    This past weekend the “Draw” exhibition opened at the Shooting Gallery in SF. The show was curated by Erik Foss and Curse Mackey, and contained no less than 360 works of art. It was intense to see that much work dominating the wall space in the gallery. That coupled with the horde of people that stormed into the gallery right when the show started, it was almost too much to handle. They had a pamphlet that had all the works of art listed so it was just a matter or matching up the numbers. I found out about so many new artists, and saw work from some all time favorites like Glenn Barr, Shawn Barber (Shown), Van Arno, Kevin llewellyn, Jonathan Weiner and even from some unexpected ones like Gibby Haynes, David Byrne, HR Giger and Jonathan Levine.

    I took a bunch of pics from the show, but as you can imagine it was hard to grab all of them. So head on over to the Creep Flickr account to see what I was able to grab.

  • Art of the Day: “Sic Transit Gloria Mundi” by EGO

    Seattle based artist EGO was one of the featured artists here on the Creep Machine, and also had painting on show for the “Attack of the B Movie Show” and the current “This is the End” show. Not only is he an amazing tattoo artist, but also a skilled painter with a very unique style and imagination. I am always happy to see new work from him, and very privileged to have his art in any show that I am able to curate.

    The piece shown here is the painting that EGO submitted to the “This is the End” group show. It looks so amazing in person, I wish the pictures were good enough to show how dynamic it really is. Surprisingly the piece is still available, but I have a feeling that his work will get harder to come by with every passing show.

  • Preview: Sylvia Ji @ Corey Helford Gallery

    Coming this Saturday at the Corey Helford Gallery is the latest solo show from Sylvia Ji. The show is entitled is “Haute Epoch” and features all new works by Sylvia. Some of the styles in this show will be familair to fans of her work, but there is also some newer things she is trying as well. I especially like “Red Crow” (shown first), it still has that facial decoration that she is known for, but is a new twist on it.
