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.
If you don’t know her work OR the amazing things that are happening at the IPRC, you should definitely stop by.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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

Jim Vecchi creates conceptual photographic images which focus on minute details; his latest series — and the series on display at Blue Sky Photography Gallery — is entitled so much depends… and revolves around the poetry of American poet William Carlos Williams whose “poems centered on the quotidian aspects of life.” Read Vecchi’s notes behind the series here.

Grace Before Dying is a series of black-and-white wide-format images photo-documenting a maximum-security prison in Louisiana. The series was created over the period of three years, focusing on a prisoner-run hospice program at the penitentiary.
Hey, Seattlites!
There’s a live painting going on today in Seattle, with a boatload of fun Seattle artists like Augie Pagan, Mat Savage, PaperMarbleS, CASH, Tessa Hulls, John Osgood and Sensei23 & Zach Bohnenkamp of Matamuros. Interesting collection of folks here, so head on over today, from 6:00pm to 9:00pm (thank goodness for Pacific Northwest summers) at Bherd Studios Gallery at The Greenwood Collective (8537 Greenwood Ave N Suite 1, Seattle, WA).
I guess it seemed only inevitable that Vice Magazine and Scion (purveyors of some pretty rad multi-disciplinary art shows these days) would converge on a project, and that they have. August 14th through September 4th, The 2010 Vice Photo Show will be taking place, and for any of you who’ve ever picked up a copy of Vice’s annual photo issue, you know you’re guaranteed to see a wide array of photos, from the gnarliest and crustiest to the most beautiful and demure. Well, maybe not so demure.
Opening reception: Saturday, August 14th, from 7:00pm to 10:00pm. Open bar and complimentary valet. Fancy!
Featuring:
Angela Boatwright, Asger Carlsen, Jonnie Craig, Jackson Eaton, Seth Fluker, Nicholas Haggard, Jerry Hsu, Kevin Long, Ross McDonnell, Sophie Mörner, Patrick O’Dell, Alex Olson, Valerie Phillips, Jared Ritz, Lele Saveri, RJ Shaugnessy, David Benjamin Sherry, Peter Sutherland, Patrick Tsai, Sean Vegezzi and Gavin Watson.

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!
