Art of War

Art of War – Opening this Saturday, March 18, 7-10pm

Studio One Eight presents The Art of War. The exhibit marks the 3-year anniversary of the Iraqi conflict that began on March 20th 2003. The show brings together works inspired by the conflict and current events in the Middle East. The exhibit will includes artwork by artists Anna U. Davis, Dana Ellyn, J Coleman, Jordin Isip, Kelly Towles, Lisa Marie Thalhammer, Matt Sesow, Peter Excho, Jared Davis, Scott G. Brooks, and many others.”

My submission is Il Teatro dei Roditori

At the convergence of war, politics, and commerce, an operatic tragedy is playing out. The competing interests in the military industrial complex have created a shadowy wake of abuse, lies, and cover-ups.

The military brass plays out their role with hypermasculine gusto, protecting their own image by manipulating and scapegoating those deemed weaker, whether prisoners or the rank-and-file.

Eighty-five percent of the troops say a major reason for the U.S. mission is “to retaliate for Saddam’s role in the 9/11 attacks.” Intentional or not, the whole story in this theater of the absurd is not heard.

3 Drawings in La Luz De Jesus Gallery group show

I’m boxing up and sending out these three drawings for the show.

la_luz

From the gallery:La Luz De Jesus Gallery proudly presents its 9th annual juried group exhibition, “Everything But the Kitschen Sync”. This gigantic, no-theme exhibition will feature work from what we feel are some of the most relevant artists working today.

We have invited commercial illustrators, tattooists, scenic painters, students, and animators to submit work of a more personal nature. The show includes artists we have previously exhibited, who consistently produce some of the most interesting paintings and sculptures in town, as well as a large selection of work from a brand new batch of undiscovered, underground talent. This is a wonderful forum for us and for our audience to check out the latest art trends and currents and get the first glimpse of tomorrow’s stars. It is also an incredible opportunity for art collectors to peruse more than 150 pieces of juried artwork by 100 artists all in one viewing, and obtain undiscovered art at undiscovered prices.

The Clayton Brothers, Mark Ryden, Michael Hussar and Tim Biskup are a few of our trusted favorites who have participated in the past. Please join us this March in supporting the latest and most original efforts from the nation’s alternative art scene.”

Finally got this painting to a point where I can let it go. It’s 6′ x 4′ and had a great time working on it. Click to see the entire image.
