the grand recap of the Hyaena Solo Exhibit

Well, I am completely exhausted. The show Saturday night was great fun though. I got to meet lots of cool and interesting people. I loved hearing people's interpretations of my work. It's a great feeling when someone feels like they have connected with something you've done. Here are some photos from the show for those of you who had to miss it:

Welcome to Hyaena Gallery. If anyone in the LA area is reading this and you haven't checked this place out yet, you should!

Here is the first wall. All the works from the "Little Lamb" series were here.

This is the second wall.

And here is the third wall.

No cupcakes.

The front of the gallery has various works by other artists. Those walls are always being updated with new work. The back walls are where the special exhibits take place. There's definitely a lot to look at.

I even had some musicians show up to play. They were awesome.

Here's me and the gallery owner Bill classin up the joint.

Other than the work on the walls I also had books, posters, boxes, and other items.

That's it! Don't you wish you had been there? And if you were one of the people there, thanks again for coming. The show still runs for 2 weeks for anyone who wants to catch it. Just go to the Hyaena Gallery site, or my site for more info.

And now I am going to take a few days to loaf around and rest before I get back to painting.
I'll make an update later on what I am going to be working on next. Very exciting things to come!

art and the OC

Just a quick post - wanted to link to an interesting article about Banksy (I had vaguely wondered what happened post the LA show) and also I'm sure plenty of you have heard about the Damien Hirst Diamond Skull which I must admit it's quite beautiful looking, but as far as "art" goes it may be equivalent to the Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra . Oh well, I admit I still dig his sharks.

Last weekend we went to the OC and saw the Untitled Love Project exhibit which was great. Some really great talent participating. Then we adventured around the OC and went to the beaches, even the "Laguna Beach" which I actually quite liked and enjoyed. It's so weird looking out here - still getting used to it.

I will be having a bigger post soon since it is almost TIME FOR THE SHOW! Very exciting. The flyers are in (click to see larger):
