Wreck The Tape Deck

Wow, thanks to Peter Nidzgorski’s always great tumblog: This Isn’t Happiness for introducing me to Iain Macarthur’s work. The style of portrait sketching combined with ink and computer graphic retouching works wonderfully. The future is now kids! (oh FYI he’s 23, bright future? nahh beginner’s luck)

the Downtown Art Walk is tonight, and it is going to be cuh-ray-zee, because as the warm summer season arrives, there are just THAT many more drunk people out in the streets. check out our recent gallery from June’s night of debauchery for plenty of porn slash art, plus lots of alcohol-fueled shenanigans (although that happened mostly behind the shutter). jesus satan will see you there, and he might just take your picture if you’re lucky… or if you’re willing to take your clothes off for free.

definitely going to be checking out Dennis Dutzi’s posthumous fund-raiser at the Pharmaka gallery. pretty amazing Socal portraiture, and the benefits go to the Colors of Hope charity for support of cancer patients and their families.

ALSO definitely going to be checking out Christy Rogers‘ Siren collection at the Spring Arts (453 S. Spring St., 90013) Collective group show. she takes underwater portraits of herself as dreamlike, drowning nudes (sort of like my dreams every night) and some of it is really beautiful stuff.
