Opening this Saturday, August 6th at the Corey Helford Gallery is two solo shows; “Walking Within These Shadows” by David Stoupakis and “Beautiful Imperfections” by Tom Bagshaw. This is going to be an outstanding show. Tom Bagshaw states in the release “In my first show, I had focused purely on Japanese Yokai. I wanted to continue with that exploration of folklore, ghosts and mythology, but on a much broader scale.†With these new works Tom creates a new body of work that borders between dark and playful, and continues to show that no matter what the medium a skilled artist with an intense imagination can create mind-blowing works of art. If your in the area make sure to stop by the show, it will be up until August 27th.

Michael Ryan & Bradly Platz – “The Order” @ Modern Eden
Opening this Saturday, July 16th at the Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco is a new duo show from Michael Ryan (featured) and Bradly Platz. The show is entitled “The Order” and is not the first time these two artists have shown together. Eclectix Gallery in El Cerrito was responsible for previously showing the work of these two talented artists. I was lucky enough to have Michael Ryan show a painting in the “This is the End” exhibition that took place at the Alternative Cafe, and I am happy to see some new work from him. He is an outstanding painter, and the work really deserves to be seen in person. The reception is from 7-10pm and the show runs until August 13th, so make sure you stop by if you can. For all the Creep fans that can’t make the show, we will have a video walk through of it along with photos and a review this coming week.

Preview: “Monkey in the Middle” by Ken Keirns @ My Plastic Heart
Opening tonight, Friday June 17th, is a new solo exhibition from Ken Keirns entitled “Monkey in the Middle”. This new show features toys, paintings, and “other such nonsense”, and with Kens unique style and ability to create these beautifully rendered portraits, it’s bound to be a great show. You can also see in the couple of the paintings that he has added some pop culture reference, such as Yoda and even Oscar the Grouch, if that’s pop culture now or nostalgia I have no idea. Keep your eye on the site for the full show to be opened up, and if you are in the area make sure to stop by the reception that opens from 6-9pm.
