All The Go Inbetweens

All The Go Inbetweens, my largest solo show yet, opens at 111 Minna gallery in San Francisco tomorrow. It represents the most concentrated effort I have yet to undertake in my career as an artist and I'm exhausted and proud and very excited for people to see everything. There's endless things to debate about with art but I think a main reason for producing it is to make people (and yourself) happy, and I think that's pretty cool. If the subject matter is sad or disturbing I think there's always a positive element if someone can make a connection with it. It's not the art that I'm compelled to create but even with something like a demon raping a teddy bear, you can say "boy I really admire the rendering on that demon penis" and then you're a little bit happier. But I digress.

If you're not able to make it to San Francisco then you can preview the show here (don't click if you're coming to the show or you'll spoil it). I look forward to seeing everybody that comes out tomorrow and I appreciate all the support that's got me to this point.

A little clip from the install here.

Almost There

I've been holed up for too long!! It's almost time to re-enter the world an celebrate. First, an announcement from a special part of my body...

La Jungla

Opening for "La Jungla" on Friday at Wonderland SF. Great turnout and it's always nice when people want to take the art home! Very happy that I squeezed in time to do a new piece. It dovetailed nicely with some of the work I'm doing for 111 Minna so it serves as a sneak peek for All the Go Inbetweens, opening April 6th.

Fluorescent Fish

A quick trip to Palm Springs and the Salton Sea. Didn't find any of the abandoned motels I hoped for and the decaying yacht club was "sadly" refurbished. Dust to dust people...!

Strangers Opening

HY.GEN.IC

With all the shit being pumped out these days, it's so refreshing to see something creative done with thought and purpose. That's why it was such a pleasure to sit down with the guys from Hy.Gen.Ic. The interview is just up and you can check it here.

Doing something good and doing it well. 

Proud to be part of the (HY.GEN.IC)

Art, Booze, and Beats

Locking the door behind, you feel eyes on your back from the house across the street. Turn and there's no one. Familiar stares through the shutters of a deserted market, behind a diner, in the swirls of a Victorian cornice. Do these imprints of humanity linger in the door frames, within the window panes, or just in your mind. Beside the tracks, the cars squeal to a stop and the doors to slide open. Your heart skips when you see, towards the front of the car, the back of her head. Hair draping over a scarf wrapped tight, you approach the seat beside when she turns and you realize...you are just Strangers on a Train.

In his second solo show at D-Structure, Alec Huxley continues his venture into environments with the lingering touch of people. Ghostly flashes of femme fatale's occupy his new paintings and charcoal eyes hide behind the outlines of San Francisco architecture on wood panels. Affordable prints and limited edition t-shirts on hand as well.
