world famous bad ass and WTTD pal Mike Stilkey brings a literal approach to his art (god i’m so fucking clever), often using books, their pages and their covers as his canvases. his room-sized installations are something to behold; brick-like stacks of literature that reach from the floor to the ceiling while painted over with Stilkey’s trademark twisty-turny animal studies and gaunt-like, dark-haired figures (who you can just tell are waxing all philosophic about Dostoyevsky and shit). it’s been a couple years since Los Angeles saw a Stilkey opening, he’s been too busy jet setting, but lucky for us in the meantime he has made an amazing new limited edition print available via BLK/MRKT. (hey! Valentine’s Day is coming! maybe it’ll make a good present for that hot librarian you’ve been trying to mack on.) here’s the info direct from Stilkey himself:

“I’m excited to announce that my very first print is now available for sale through BLK/MRKT Editions! The print, “Sleeping Horse,” is a four-color screenprint on 100 percent cotton rag paper. It measures 24 by 18 inches. The print is an edition of 150 and each one is signed, numbered and stamped. They are available for purchase for $45 and will be delivered within 2 to 3 weeks.” – so get your piping hot prints here, straight out of the oven, and check out Stilkey’s own site for plenty more good. art.

here’s a rare weekend post to celebrate a record breaking traffic day yesterday as well as to point out a lot of great openings tonight in the metropolitan Los Angeles area. earlier in the week we mentioned the Brian Viveros/Dan Quintana/Bad Otis Link triple header in Santa Monica, and jesus satan also highly recommends Corey Helford Gallery’s opening for both Michael Mararian’s “Youth Parade” and Miso’s “The Cold Returns”. Mararian’s current project looks incredibly intense and wickedly funny, just the way i like my women art. there are also something like fourteen other shows tonight, so check out Sour Harvest for a fairly thorough rundown on what’s what, where and at what times. Sour Harvest also emails a great weekly newsletter on recommended art openings, so sign up for that shit here. then i don’t always have to be the one telling you what to do, where to go, how to dress, etc…. i mean, what am i, your mom?

this Saturday Brian Viveros and Dan Quintana are bringing their special brand of military  fetish to Santa Monica with their Desensitized opening at CoproGallery. Bad Otis Link provides backup with his You’ll Be Sorry When I’m Dead show in the back room. (jesus satan says that every day and he doesn’t get an opening. people usually just laugh, actually.)
more info from Copro’s newsletter: Hey Everyone – This Saturday, January 16, 8:00-11:30 PM, CoproGallery presents  “Desensitized” with the art of Brian Viveros & Dan Quintana. This is an incredible show for both artists and all the work is amazing. Its going to be a multi-media event in 5D with films being projected, sountracks of bizzare music and sculptures as well as live music and costumed Desensitized girls. Everyone is encouraged to participate so please dress up in military gear like a Viveros or Quintana painting and get a free “Desensitized” poster. In gallery 2 Bad Otis Link’s “You’ll Be Sorry When I’m Dead” which will also be in 5D with films, twisted puppets and warped art. I hope to see everyone there but for those that can’t make please check out the Brian Viveros web-preview. The other previews will be ready soon so stay tuned!!!
