Things here have been rather busy as of late. Making new works and prepping for more new shows, which I can
now announce.
Next Tuesday (July 20th) is our next Two Buck Tuesday event at the Kaleid Gallery.
This Two Buck Tuesday, curated by Trina Merry, focuses on the little things that inspire us- silly, tragic, authentic.
“SeaSkin was born from the notion that we are, as humans, directly connected with our environment.
We are a part of the air we breathe, the earth we derive nourishment from and tread on, the water we
play in and consume.” http://sites.google.com/site/
Kevin Powers will talk about Inspiration, how it relates to the art making process, and tips on getting
re-inspired. He is an artist whom often uses photography, sculpture, and occasionally other methods
of expression, a professor, amateur cultural anthropologist, as well as a cinephile, bibliophile, and
Vespa enthusiast in his spare time. http://kevinpowers.org /

peace in people’s hearts. It makes people smile. It makes dogs bark. It gets people talking to each other.
It turns the conversation towards peace. It is fun and silly. It takes people’s minds away from their
everyday worries.” www.thedanceofpeace.com

The Congregation Gallery Presents
"The Black Plague Art Show"
Curated by Cam Rackam
Opening Reception
Saturday July 24th, 2010
9pm-12pm
The Congregation Gallery | 7569 Melrose, Los Angeles CA 90046
The Black Death was the deadliest pandemic in human history. It has been estimated to have killed up to 60% of Europe's population
by 1400 ce. The Black Death created a series of religious, social and economic upheavals which had serious effects on the course of
human history, while also having a profound impact on art that still resonates today.
The artists participating in the Black Plague art show are beyond talented. The macabre nature of this particular show allowed these
individuals to not only showcase their abilities, but excel in a forum of like minded macabre painters, dark sculptors, and mixed media
assemblage artists. It's an art show where realists and surrealists conjure beauty from death.
"This is just the type of Art Show that L.A. deserves"

Summer's the perfect time for a little light-hearted levity, a little mischief. This year's show features a wide range of fun-filled nuttiness, everything
from toys gone bad to the Seven Deadly Sins (in glitter, of course). What happens if the video game character of your youth visits the San Francisco
of today, or a character from your favorite sci-fi series shows up on a surf board, or as a customized rubber duck?! A lovely group of animal portraits
and paintings of vintage toys rounds out the show. As usual, everything's under $400, with loads of items under $200. A list of participating artists is
below; click here to see some images from the show.
