Tara Jane O’Neil is a musician and artist who will displaying her zine (entitled doodle book selections #3) at IPRC — Independent Publishing Resource Center TODAY for First Thursday.

Joe Vollan & Jose Rodriguez III At Flatcolor

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Joe Vollan

I feel like Joe Vollan’s work is a love-it or hate-it affair. But if you’re feeling the well-rendered, cutesy details of his pieces, chances are you’ll be feeling them a lot. Below, a couple pieces that serve as throwbacks to another time, complete with costumed, skeletal figures.

Jose Rodriguez III

I don’t know much about this artist (and the internet is a bit confused as well), but if these geometrically-fragmented samples are any indication of what to expect, it should be a pretty rad show.

Together Gallery = Hannah Stouffer + Jay Howell

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Sign me up for this show! Together Gallery’s offering for the Last Thursday’s art walk on Alberta tonight has an opening running from 5:00pm to 10:00pm. What is it? Nothing short of FANTASTIC. Including musical performances by BRAINSTORM and ASTROLOGY as well.

hannah stouffer

An L.A.-based artist who explores themes that are much larger than ourselves and capture, in one fell swoop, the darkest and brightest themes in existence (they’re almost metal in that way). Don’t miss these exploding rainbows of creatures and form!!

Howell and Stouffer might share similar color palettes, but their works could not be further apart. Howell’s light-hearted illustrations waver between Muppet-like blobs and newspaper comic strip residents. Also: the release of the IDEA BOARD 2 limited edition skateboard, which Howell contributed art for.

Snag Some Bigfoot Works From Flatcolor Gallery

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

As of today, you have one more week left to snag some Bigfoot pieces from Flatcolor Gallery (528 First Avenue South, Seattle, WA) — lucky you! Snatch ‘em up while you still can! The full-color painted pieces are not cheap, but I don’t imagine they’ll get any cheaper anytime soon. Luckily, there’s some diversity in this show so that those with less funds can still -somewhat- afford a Bigfoot original.


The Reckoning - 30″ x 20″ - acrylic,ink,and resin on wood - $2,000.00


Guitarmageddon - 16″ x 20″ - silkscreen by artist and varnish on wood - $250.00


Go Green - 18″ x 24″ - silkscreen and varnish on wood - $200.00

Sergey Ryzhov.

I can’t seem to find too much information about Sergey Ryzhov (so any you might be able to give would be appreciated), but for starters, here are two lovely mystical animal images, which you can purchase prints of here at iNPRNT.

Skinner At White Walls - Skinner At White Walls - Skinner At White Walls - Skinner At White Walls!

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Let me just start off by saying.
I LOVE SKINNER.

He’s one of my favorite artists, as evidenced by my bio. Pretty much infallible evidence.

Anyway, the title of this post pretty much leaves very little to be expressed here other than what can be shown in the photos below. Skinner will eat you up. Skinner will blow your mind. Skinner will burn patterns into your retina. Skinner, Skinner, Skinner, Skinner, and even better to see Skinner at a gallery as awesome as White Walls. This Fear You May Know opens Saturday, August 14th, 2010, from 7:00pm to 11:00pm, and runs through September 4th, 2010.

Yes, I say! Yes!

“Well There You Are” Solo Show - Seth Armstrong

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

I’m not sure what the linking ideological components are in Seth Armstrong’s debut solo show at Thinkspace Gallery (6009 Washington Blvd., Culver City, CA), but the pieces certainly share linking feels and color palettes. And if these pieces below are any indication of the caliber of the pieces that will be on display, it seems one can definitely expect some pretty engaging things.

Opening reception Saturday, August 7th, at Thinkspace’s Project Room.

Brin Levinson’s Moody Cityscapes

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

As of Last Thursday, Brin Levinson has some pieces from his Paradise Urbania series, on display at Optic Nerve Arts (1223 NE Alberta Street, Portland, OR). These pieces combine some excellently rendered images of Portland bridges, and what they might look like if wild animals were to roam on or around them once again. Through the month of August!
