Scene: Fresh Geezers at Factory Fresh

Last weekend was a great weekend in art shows. It started with the London Police’s opening of Fresh Geezers at Factory Fresh, and ended with Audrey Kawasaki’s show at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery. On Thursday, the IHCS crew made their way to Factory Fresh, a gallery in Bushwick that hosts many street art exhibits. This place has become one of my favorite galleries in Brooklyn, and one I’m not so hesitant to visit. Now I sound like a snob.

Can you guess where I’ll be on December 10th? If you guessed Factory Fresh in Brooklyn, you were right! Yay, cookies for all. ^_^ I just recieved an email from Factory Fresh about their upcoming show, Fresh Geezers. The show will feature the works of London Police and Galo. I’m honestly looking forward to this show since I love the iconic characters of the London Police. I’m hoping to score a sketch! I may even bring a bigger book. >_< I’ll update any sneak peeks and additional information as it’s released.

BBB-flyerThis weekend is looking to be a really busy weekend for Jon Burgerman since he’s booked for two shows. On Friday he’ll be participating in a group show with Jim Avignon and a couple other artist that seem to represent different parts of the world at Factory Fresh. I’m not sure if that was intentional or not, but I’m looking forward to being exposed to different cultures. Also, Jon will be playing the ukulele and I hope to either live-stream it, or the Mr. will film and share.

On Saturday, Jon will have his first (?) US solo show at Giant Robot NY. The title alone already suggests that I’ll definitely enjoy this show: My American Summer will feature works inspired by his “holiday” in LA and NYC. I wonder if he’ll include a piece of someone calling him an arsehole on his birthday? That’s New York for ya. I’ll definitely be at both shows, as it may be the last time I see Burgerman before he leaves the states.

If you’d like to follow him more closely, then I suggest visiting DoodleSplatter— it has EVERYTHING!

Jon and Jim Doodling

Last week Jon Burgerman and Jim Avignon had their show at Factory Fresh in Brooklyn at the exact same times as the Bossy Bear and Friends event I posted about. Although I love David Horvath, my priority on Thursday was really to get my butt to Brooklyn and meet Jon for the very first time. Turns out, Jon hasn’t been in the states since 2004, so I really didn’t want to miss my opportunity to not only meet the UK artist, but also steal his soul by scoring a sketch in my book. I don’t discriminate. =) 

Anxiety Room this Thursday!

It is finally happening. Jon Burgerman is in the states and he’ll be in a collaborative show with Jim Avignon at Factory Fresh located in Brooklyn. Yes, the man is that close to me right now. =) I’ve been anticipating the day I’d meet him and I thought it would happen during Kidrobot’s 3Bears signing last year, but he didn’t show and Kidrobot were acting like douches by not allowing black books at the signing– that’s a whole different dilemma all together. Now, I’ll have the chance to actually see Jon’s canvas works up close and hopefully chat with him a little bit about toys, art, and life itself. If you’re in town, click on the link to get more info.

By the way, I’m aware that this show is taking place the same day/time that David Horvath will be at Yoyamart. I love David and have been lucky enough to meet and chat with him a couple times now– so I am comitting myself to the Burgerman show. If time allows, I’ll try to be at the Bossy Bear’s turtle release. Besides, I hear Jon’s been couped up in a basement since he arrived, waking up on deflated air beds and whatnot– I definitely want to see the live drawing and get him in my new book!
