So Many Selves, including Andrea Shear

2007-09-12T11:32:00.000-07:00

CARMICHAEL GALLERY OF CONTEMPORARY ART PRESENTS

"SO MANY SELVES..."

As part of their monthly series of group shows, the Carmichael Gallery has assembled another exciting line up of emerging artists from around the world. "So many selves..." is a diverse collection of works from over twenty-five artists of varying backgrounds, ages, gender, and circumstances. Each of the pieces in the show is unique in subject matter, style, and, quite frequently, media. No one theme dominates, and yet the harmony and flow of creative impetus is unhindered from the first canvas to the last. Like a crowded room of beings engaged in animated conversation, each eager to tell his or her personal story, "So many selves.." demonstrates the beautiful communion and growing international empathy of our art world.

Including works by: Alexandre Yassu (Brazil), Andrea Shear (USA), Angelique Houtkamp (Holland), Binho Barreto (Brazil), Candice Tripp (South Africa), Chris Stain (USA), Ciro Schu (Brazil), Damion Silver (USA), Daniel Bileu (Brazil), Fefe Talavera (Brazil), HUSH (UK), Irina Troitskaya (Russia), J. Asher Lynch (USA), Jeff Schultze (USA), Josh Taylor (USA), Josh Heilaman (USA), Justin Kleiner (USA), Justin Lyons (USA), Ken Garduno (USA), Lindsey Kuhn (USA), Mike Egan (USA), Misery (NZ), Mose120 (UK), Nate Williams (USA), Petite Poupee7 (Brazil), Randy Noborikawa (USA), Rodrigo Villas (Brazil), Sergio Mora (Spain), Terri Woodward (USA), Yuki Miyazaki (Japan/USA) and more!

Hitting up the Shelby COunty (Kentucky) flea market today with my boo. Trying to find cool shit for the new house I'm renting out.

Best things about this flea market? Country folk, live music in the food court, and people selling guns out of the bed of their pickup trucks. Oh yeah, and they sell switchblades too.

Moving is fine, neighbors suck!

2007-02-28T23:22:00.000-08:00

Blood Is The New Black is moving! That's right folks, to the hills of Silverlake, CA. I helped move the biz around today. I will tomorrow too.

Moving is alright, I've moved only a couple times, but I'm fine with it. I think it provides a great opportunity for new soil and re-growth. The problem with moving though, always seems to be neighbors.

As soon as I get there today, I chat for a little with Mitra's new landlord, a nice guy who is smaller then me (irrelevant). Suddenly, this high pitched fobby voice comes belting from behind me, directed to the land lord "YOU CAN'A PAR'K IN'A DA DRI-WAY!! YOU BLOCKuh MY WAIY GET OUTAH 'ERE!" Apparently the guy's a real tight ass. So we move our cars.

Funny thing is, somehow no one noticed but I back my Mercury Villager into his staircase, WHOOPS. It actually was on accident, I'm never that vindictive.

Anyways, I make another run to collect more BITNB pieces to move, I get there and it's night now and the guy isn't around. Mitra comes by, suddenly, that same voice comes from below the space "'ET WHATAI SAY ABOU' BLOCKIN' DA DRYWAY! MOVE-A!" Some dudes came out of nowhere with their own truck, suddenly needing to get out of the complex. So we move cars. The guy aforementioned, he's watching the entire parade of cars, moderating our progress with flitty hand gestures and pinched barks. Once we're done, we go back in and eat pizza.

So yeah, new neighbors can suck ass. I'm a nice new neighbor! I bake cakes and cookies and all that shit! In fact, I need to move too. Who wants me to be their new neighbor?

Mmmmmm

On a side note, I'm totally jealous of his new Smiths tattoo. And yes, we're doing ANOTHER Smith's shirt this season too.Stay tuned!
