I’ve completed my piece for the Erie Prom Spaces Gallery benefit and I plan to drop her off on Friday. “Prop”, a piece from my Mechanical Bride series will be part of the gala, hanging on the wall, so please watch out the splashing punch while doing the Bartman or random airborne crab cakes.

(UNTITLED) – a movie
Posted in Uncategorized on October 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Okay so I don’t like the idea that a movie would trivialize art but lets face it to the masses “contemporary art” already has an heir of absurdity and irrelevance, right? However let’s be honest, everything about contemporary art is a little nutty and if you don’t have a sense of [...]

Want to buy some art? How about from an online pool of up and coming art schoolers? Perhaps you could nab the next Ryan Mcginley or Marcel Dzama. Or just find something beautiful and or provocative for a very reasonable price all the while supporting the future of the arts. Then much like the emerging [...]
