my love for you is a stampede of horses.

Molly Schiot.

Laughing my ass off at these drawings by Molly Schiot. Wow. She is so brilliant. These were exactly what I needed on a Sunday evening. Besides her drawings, there is a lot of other greatness going on in her website...rad, rad photographs, and well just lots of awesome...I'm too lazy tonight, you go check it out. Molly's also in the show Works on Paper I posted about below.

Works on Paper at Phyllis Stein Art.

I'm posting about this show a little late...I know, I know, what gives, but hell I have a life! I can't just be stuck in my apartment all dang day blogging for you fools. Works on Paper at Phyllis Stein Art in LA looks great, one of our favs Cody Hoyt is in it. Along with Cody are the following artists: Cecile Carriere, Mark Danielson, Lisa Hanawalt, Jenny Kanzler, Molly Schiot, Donalee Peden Wesley, Bruce Wilhelm. There are some rad folks in this line up...I'm gonna be posting some of their stuff right this instant.

Chris Ballantyne

I first saw Chris Ballantyne's work when he had a solo show at Steven Zevitas earlier this year. His paintings are clean, so clean in fact, I wasn't so sure I liked it at first. Chris' work retains a crystal-clear voice, while avoiding heavy handedness - something all artists risk when we work minimally. What really stands out to me is the work's almost ambivilent attitude towards apocalypse. (See: Alex Lukas)

Chris currently works out of Brooklyn. It looks like he's got quite a few things brewing, so I won't list them here. All of that can be found on his website.

New Work by Ashley Lande.

Wow. Ashley Lande is most certainly an artist I am super excited about. She was in You've Got Light In Your Eyes. Her work is incredible. These pieces are for an upcoming show opening in June presented by Jaguar Shoes titled Truth + Magical Love = Freedom. Uh, hell yeah it does. I am lucky enough to have a few pieces of Ashley's work...you should too.

Clare Cupcake Sale.

Clare Cupcake is having a low down dirty big ol' sale in her wee etsy shop. Check out her pieces, and help her get to Mexico...she'll be your bff, omg.
