The artist himself will be here tomorrow and I will most likely not be there. Someone, please attend and share your photos with me so I could share with the world. I have a meeting until 5:45 and an appointment with a trainer who won’t take no for an answer at 6pm. If we stick to an hour, I might just make it up there in time, but I highly doubt it. Thanks to John W. for reminding me– now I’ll head on over to a corner and cry.

Gallery Hanahou, NYC, is going to be hosting a show titled Spread the Lead on October 16th, 2008. It seems that the show, very similar to Black Maria Gallery’s show: Get the Lead Out, challenges artists to create a piece [s] with a single tool, a pencil. I was very interested BMG’s show, but clearly I don’t live on the West Coast so I only got to see images from the show. I’m curious to see what the Hanahou participating artists come up with and maybe see if any of them really had a difficult task creating art with a pencil (graphic artists maybe?).

Finally!! I am going to stop by KidRobot tomorrow to check out Kathie Olivas’ live painting– but it’s official! MPH has just announced on their boards that they will be hosting “Uninvited Guests” a mixed media show put on by Kathie herself. My face is already in smiling overload mode. I’ve been waiting to see some of her custom works in person and it seems there’s going to be a variety of things at the show: paintings, sketches, and customs. I can’t wait to hang with her and Brandt in a smaller arena than that of NYCC. I hope I have enough money in the bank to purchase something for myself. More info when it’s available, but in the meantime, mark October 17th on your calendars.

I miss visiting the wonderful people of MPH. Unfortunately, because I’ve chosen not to work during the summer… I’ve shown loads of self-control so all my money could be spent during SDCC. I are a shameful character. Luckily, MPH is going to be hosting the beloved Julie West for (what I believe is) her first solo show in NYC (??).

Julie West really is a talented artist and an amazing personality. I am forever grateful to her for hooking me up with a custom kaniza during ToyQube’s 3rd year celebration and release party. Well, I have the pleasure of hanging with her again on August 8th when she displays her new paintings, prints, and super sweet customs all based on her sugary theme.

If you’re planning a trip to NYC this summer, I suggest you try to come up that weekend. Julie’s going to make the trip herself from the UK, so it’d be a great time to meet and hang out with her. More details or sneak peeks when they come, woohoo!

BTW, maybe I’ll see Tim there?
