WTTD is fashionably late as always. sure wish i went during the day, though, cause the stuff i saw after everything closed was killer. stopped by just in the nick of time at Thinkspace, LeBasse Projects, Gallery 9 and a couple of others along Culver City’s famed Washington Blvd to get some pics. check out stuff here from Dave MacDowell, Edwin Ushiro, Abram Santa Cruz, Mark Brunner, Yoskay Yamamoto, Jean-Pierre Roy, Thomas Doyle and a shit ton more.

Gallery 1988 is a little stuck in the past, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. WTTD fav Dave MacDowell is part of an all-star cast of pop sensations tonight with an opening at the LA Gallery 1988 on Melrose and La Brea. Netherland, Kiersten Essenpreis and Brandon Bird round out the retro appeal, so break out the acid wash jean jackets, and i’ll see you there. (check out our gallery of amazing from the recent Gallery 1988 Crazy 4 Cult show here…)

holy jesus (satan), Dave MacDowell may just be the new king of pop (rest in pieces, M.J.). i was lucky enough to see David MacDowell’s The Sins of Atticus Finch show at Thinkspace a couple months ago, and the more i see of his portfolio of jumbled up pop schizophrenia, the more i laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh all crazy like while talking to myself. there is plenty of more wonderful-ness on his website here, and you can read his blog here to read about the methods behind his particular brand of madness. preach on, mad pop genius. preach on.

Dave MacDowell - Princess (molly ringwald as slave leia)
