On October 30th the “Bad Dads”, Wes Anderson tribute show opened at the new Lopo Gallery in San Francisco. This new gallery is located via the Space Gallery on Polk Street. Curated by Ken Harman (Hi Fructose, Arrested Motion) this group show features work from over 70 artists such as Dave MacDowell, Caia Koopman, Ana Bagayan, Serge Gay Jr, Rich Pellegrino, Sandi Calistro and many more. The work is not online yet, but the show is up until November 27th so you still have time to see it in person. The Warholian has some photos of the Reception over at Flickr, and a video on Vimeo. Spoke Editions has also made a good amount of the work from the show into affordable limited edition prints. Many of the prints will be released during the next two weeks, but if you head over there now you can see what prints are available, and what will be soon.

New work by Ana Bagayan
Every day until her solo show at the FB69 Gallery in Germany, Ana Bagayan has been creating one new drawing that will be featured in the show. So far the drawings are all graphite portraits, some on the cream colored paper she often uses, and some on plain white paper. There is already some amazing work, a few of which are pretty dark and were perfect to show here for the Halloween month. If you are interested in any of the work, you can go over to the galleries website for price and purchase info. Even though she is working hard on these drawings and who know how many other projects, Ana still finds time to add some originals to her Etsy shop. Three tiny skull drawings, each one graphite and charcoal on cotton paper are currently for sale. Make sure you check out Ana’s blog to follow her progress.

“Weirdo Noir” book by Matt Dukes Jordan
The author of the book “Weirdo Deluxe”, is back with a new book talking the gothic and dark art scene. The book is 9″ x 9″, 192 pages and features work from more than 20 artists such as Attaboy, Ana Bagayan, Glenn Barr, Jonathan Bergeron, Ray Ceasar, Jason d’Aquino, Bob Dob, Alex Gross, Sarah Joncas, Annette Hassell, Fred Harper, Dan Kennedy, Laurie Lipton, Travis Louie, Tara McPherson, Skot Olsen, Nathan Ota, Annie Owens, Anthony Pontius, Isabel Samaras, Shag, Dani Tull, Brian Viveros, and Edward Walton Wilcox.
I enjoyed Weirdo Deluxe quite a bit, and this book seems like a good followup. I’m not sure if I agree about the “noir”, or as stated in the description “artists who have embraced the dark side, employing gothic themes in their art.” There are a few artists in that list that have dark works for sure, but maybe I just have a different definition of “dark and gothic”.Get it here: Chronicle Books, or cheaper at Amazon

Review: Get the Lead Out II @ Swoon Gallery
This past August 28th, the Swoon Gallery opened the Get the Lead out II group show. Apricot Mantle was able to head to the show for us, snap some photos and give the Creep Machine another review.
A whirlwind of creativity exploding with graphite onto paper. Get the Lead Out II was a one night only pop-up show at Ronin Gallery featuring artist sketches, pen & ink drawings, watercolors and finished paintings presented by Swoon Gallery. This show was fast, furious, fun and full of precious small to medium artworks to be enjoyed only for one night. It was one of those magical rare shows that gave the viewers a chance to see some rare drawings and sketches coming from some of their favorite painters while also showcasing some artists who use graphite as their primary medium.

A majority of the work is pretty amazing. I’m not the biggest fan of Gary Baseman’s work but I really like the drawing he submitted. Eric White’s painting “Nope”, freaks me right out. There is also a good amount of prints we have seen before, but its nice that these artists submitted work to a good cause. Check out the preview images here, and then head on over and see the full show.
