Christina Conway just sent over a zip file of a bunch of Kokeshi dolls for the upcoming show Kokeshi From Folk Art to Art Toy at the Japanese American National Museum which opens July 11-October 4th in LA. I'm stoked to get a sneak peek at the dolls! I love that each artist does something different with their figure, transforming their vision onto such a traditional object...it's such a great collaboration. Not to mention an awesome way for people to stay connected to an amazing history. To find out more about the upcoming show stay tuned to Christina's blog.

Preview of Mike Maxwell's Until The Whistle Blows.
Just got done checking out Mike Maxwell's flickr page of his preview for his upcoming two person show with Paul Chatem at The Shooting Gallery, Until The Whistle Blows. I'm a big fan of the blues and grays Mike uses in his work. It's rad to see the progression of Mike's work in the photostream. The detail of the iron work is so beautiful, I personally really appreciate how he detailed all different sides of the work. Until The Whistle Blows portrays and illustrates each artist's interpretation of the 18th and 19th century Industrial Revolution. It should be a really cohesive, stellar show. The show opens July 11th and I'll post more as the show gets closer I'm sure.
