Tarfest

I will have a new painting in this year's Tarfest, http://www.tarfest.com, which is a great film, art, & music festival held every year in the Wilshire district in Los Angeles. If you haven't gone previous years, definitely check it out this time. It's well worth it.

Should be a very lively opening.

LACE in Hollywood

Wednesday I volunteered at this great gallery in Hollywood called Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions. It's right in the middle of all those wig shops & lingerie stores. It's been there 11 years, I think. They had a great opening for two artists, Dustin Shuler & Alexander Apostol.

Dustin's piece was this massive "vivarium" environment that mimiced condidtions in a rain forest. The piece was filled with live animals like tree frogs, lizards, turtles, and a few birds. The whole thing was miked. You gotta go down & see it. In the other part of the gallery was some digitally altered photographs of buildings in Caracas, Venezuela done by Apostol. There were also a few of his video art pieces playing. Good stuff. I'll be down there tonight (Friday) again. C'mon down.

Robert Reynolds Show

I went down to the Downtown Art Walk last Thursday. The standout for me was the Robert Reynolds show at the Continental Building (4th & Spring I think). Inventive use of materials and a diverse selection of pieces. Don't know the hours for the exhibition but, its worth taking a look if you're downtown. My pics don't do the work justice but, here they are.

Downtown Art Walk

Just a reminder. Tonight is the 2nd Thursday of the month so that means it's time again for the Downtown Art Walk. Over 25 galleries participate in this and well attended. It goes from noon until 9pm at most venues. Check out the site for map & more information. I'll be down there tonight seeing some shows. This is LA btw.

Burning Man Art

Just back from BM. Some impressive art there as usual. Certain pieces can only exist in this environment because of the huge space they take up or because hey are so dangerous. This snake by Jessica Hobbs and crew had flames shooting out of each vertibrea and each tooth in it's movable mouth during the night. Wish I had some night pics of it. I've got some pics from the event. They are of friends mostly but there's some good art shots in there. Check em' out.

J Ferrari Charity Group Show

I have a piece that I donated to this show. Come down to support the event this Saturday.

jFERRARI Gallery to Host Benefit for Peru 's Horacio Zeballos School Atwater Village, CA, jFERRARI Gallery will bring together collections from talented artists, art enthusiasts and education advocates to raise funds for a very deserving elementary school in the small Peruvian town of Horacio Zeballos.

The fundraising will commence on the evening of August 12th from 6pm-10pm, during which attendees will be encouraged to participate in a silent auction. The works for sale will be donated by local artists including: Edwin Aguilar, David Haig Alexander, Lori Antoinette, Susan Berkowitz, Eduardo Bonilla, Lisa Cabrera, Joel Castro, William Conklin, Ernesto de la Loza, Danny De La Matyr, Ricardo Duffy, Jazmin Ferrari, Carlos J. Flores, Domenico Foschi, Nagy Girgis, Gus Hernandez, Javier Hernandez, Jason Jenkins, Sophia Louisa Lee, Juliana Martinez, Katie Moriarty, Angela M. Ortiz S., Lissette Perez, Jason Schaper, Marc Smith, Cole Sternberg, Treiops Treyfid, Cristian Vega -Rojo, Randall Williams, and more. Guests will also be treated to light refreshments, and will enjoy the musical entertainment from local musician Chapa.

Located on the outskirts of Arequipa, Peru, the school of Horacio Zeballos is a modest, makeshift academic resource that serves to enrich the lives of the children of this underprivileged region. Efforts to maintain and improve upon the conditions of the elementary school are bolstered by The Kindness Connection, a charitable organization created by three YMCA volunteers, Emily Broxterman, Ashley Sheffel, and Lisette Perez, who are committed to the expansion and development of the small community of Horacio Zeballos, Peru. Educational services at the elementary school are free to participating families who cannot afford tuition and registration fees. Servicing six grades levels, the school consists only of three classrooms and three state appointed teachers, with even the most basic school supplies in constant demand. Despite such limited resources, Kindness Connection and the citizens of Horacio Zeballos are aiming to include a junior high school as well as a training center in effort to expand their influence to a broader age range of students and their individual needs.

Community and global outreach is crucial in the crusade to secure a child's right to a well-rounded education and hospitable facilities. jFERRARI Gallery in conjunction with The Kindness Connection, invites you to contribute to this worthy cause through the enjoyment of art, music and charitable giving.

jFERRARI Gallery is a gallery of contemporary art located in Northeast Los Angeles. The gallery sits at the end of the Hyperion Bridge in Atwater Village, neighboring Silverlake and Los Feliz. The gallery focuses on its dedication to supporting emerging and established fine artists. The gallery is active with monthly exhibitions of diverse, unique and innovative works of art.

Date: August 12th, 2006 - Reception: 6-10 pm - Closes: August 31st

Looky Ma, I'm on the radio! My good friend DaBomb does this sort of "NPR for Burning Man" type podcast. She interviewed me about the GVP's Curiosity Cabinet and my Dream Project which was last year's project.

Hi Folks,

This here is my new art blog inspired by my tribe.com newsgroup LA Art Network. What I'll be doing here is posting gallery events I want to attend or promote, posting my artwork or others artwork. I'm not going to write a lot of fancy stuff, it will be more documentary. Hopefully, I can turn people on to some great LA art.
