Juxtapoz exhibition and my YouTube Channel


I forgot in my last post to tell you about another huge show going on.  20 YEARS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF JUXTAPOZ is happening right now, alongside the SLANG AESTHETICS! exhibit by Robert Williams at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. Tons of great artists showing.  You can check out the line up below...

Today at 2pm they will be hosting a free special talk with Andrew Hosner (exhibition co-curator / Thinkspace Gallery), Gary Pressman (exhibition co-curator / Copro Gallery), Greg Escalante (Juxtapoz co-founder / Copro Gallery owner), Robert Williams (Juxtapoz co-founder / featured artist), Gwynn Vitello (Juxtapoz’s current President + Publisher).

I also wanted to share that I've started a YouTube channel.  I really love watching other artists' process videos.  Whether it's a time lapse of them working on a piece or a tutorial with tips on certain techniques...I'm a bona fide YouTube art nerd.  I figured I'd share some videos of my own with anyone who wants to learn more about my process.  I'm still working out the kinks, so please subscribe and the filming will get better along the way ; )  

You can check out my first process video below...


Feel free to comment or message me with anything specific you might like to see in my YouTube videos. 


~ eye should figure out a better recording set up...my collapsible easel rigged with my iPhone is seeming just a bit ridiculous, ha!

Current Contemporary Art Exhibits in the LA Area


Lots of exhibits to check out in the next few weeks...

A bunch of great artists are showing in DREAMLANDS, opening at Corey Helford Gallery on Saturday March 14th...Amy Sol, Herakut, Hannah Yata, and Kazuki Takamatsu to name just a few.  Takamatsu uses depth graphing for a cool 3-D effect in his work.  I stumbled across his art about a year ago and was hooked by his unique process.  More info on the DREAMLANDS exhibit here.

The Hive has a group show opening tonight from 8-11pm.  Lara Dann and Scott Holloway are a few of the artists showing, and this one runs through the 28th.

Thinkspace's BEAUTY IN THE BREAKDOWN exhibit with Sarah Joncas and Camilla d'Errico will be up through March 21st.  Anthony Clarkson's work will be in the project room as a sweet bonus.  I'm really digging the new direction Sarah Joncas is going in lately, mixing in lots of graphic elements with her figures.

And one more to check out...Gallery 1988 (East) has a Meg Majewski exhibit going on now through the 21st.
