Press coverage for Brandi Milne & Cherri Wood’s solos @ Thinkspace…

April 21st, 2009 Comments off
“…My girls are an endless narrative for me. She's my way of voicing an emotion in a piece, sad, innocent, scared. The happy characters around her are flash and silly like the world we live in. The strawberries I draw are symbolic for my heart, or the hearts of people that I love. There's a lot of strawberries in my recent work, for obvious reasons, they're really special to me right now.” – Brandi Milne

Brandi Milne completely knocked it out of the park with Run Rabbit, Run and the press and fans agree. We had a huge turnout on opening night to support Brandi and many were out front waiting for the doors to open to take part in Brandi’s special ‘Easter Egg Hunt’ that was held during the opening reception. In all, over 50 eggs were hidden about the gallery, both inside and out, and over 40 lucky winners walked away with some amazing prizes, including one-of-a-kind original drawings from Brandi as well as special hand-knit stuffed Easter Bunny heads on lil’ sticks with ribbons and bells attached. Be sure to check out the opening night shots for many of the lucky winners and their prizes as well as pics of all the action, including shots of all the artists that came out that evening to support Brandi.

Yosuke Ueno before & after…

February 20th, 2009 Comments off
Yosuke Ueno just sent us an amazing before & after set for his new work "Positive-E no.3"

Simply stunning. Love to see an artist's process, especially from a rough drawing to the final piece. Ueno continues to excel at a rapid pace with this new work. So excited for our solo show with him next year, I can't even express it in words. Just love his work. Ueno has a great feature in the new issue of Hi Fructose, so be sure to check that out.

Two great works from Ueno are currently on hand, and remember we've got a 25% discount in place currently on all available inventory through next week. Don't sleep on that deal!
