  • Now Online: “Marvelous Humans” Group Show @ Articulated Gallery

    Just over a week ago on April 7th, the latest show I had the pleasure of curating opened at the Articulated Gallery in San Francisco. I had a few ideas of what would be my next show, but i thought that Marvelous Humans would be the most fun, and would be a great way to signal a break in my curating days. I’m not going to say I will never curate again, but I do have other projects now that will take more priority over curating. I am very happy with the art in this show, and the reception was a blast. A good amount of artists were present such as Glenn Arthur, Apricot Mantle, Robert Bowen, Peter Adamyan, Kelly Castillo, and Edward Cao. The artwork from the show is now available in the Articulated Gallery online shop, and you can also see some alternate images of the works over at the Creep Machine Facebook page. If you would like to see higher resolution images of the works, please feel free to contact me.



  • Preview: “Marvelous Humans” @ the Articulated Gallery SF

    Opening this Saturday, April 7th, is a new exhibition I have had the pleasure to curate. Entitled Marvelous Humans, this group show features art inspired by the many human marvels that once lived, or are alive today. I have always been inspired by those who were born with a certain condition, and made the most of it, as well as those that choose to alter their bodies regardless of the negative reactions they would receive. So instead of focusing on these people as “oddities”, I thought it was time for some art to be created that was done with a level of respect. A few of the artists looked to the amazing “Human Marvels” website for inspiration, take a look when you have time.

    The reception takes place at the Articulated Gallery in San Francisco from 8-10 PM, and a few of the artists will be in attendance. The Facebook Event page has the full info; please help spread the news. Participating artists include: Apricot Mantle, Casey Weldon, Dan Harding, Dave MacDowell, Edward Cao, Glenn Arthur, Elizabeth Levesque, Jackie Gallagher, Jason Snyder, Jay Doronio, Jessica Ward, Kelly Castillo, Larkin, M Fersner, Patrick Deignan, Peter Adamyan, Richard Frost Robert Bowen, Sandi Calistro, & Scarecrowoven. Take a look at the preview images, and we hope to see you there.



  • “Bad Dads”, Wes Anderson prints from Spoke Editions

    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.
