First Friday, Kid! on Harrison Ave, Boston


Finally made it to a First Fridays in Brunston! Deb Davidson works at the Kingston gallery--she invited me to the opening via Facebook. Besides bumping into a couple of AIB comrades, it was terrific to see some fresh, shiny work on display and read what artists had to say about their pieces.

I developed particularly strong crushes on these galleries:
Samson Project
Caroll and Sons (thinking about submitting to the Boston Drawing Project)

These pics are from Caroll and Sons. Damien Hoar de Galvan and Robin Dash both work with lowbrow materials (crayon, highlighters, PBR bottles, aspirin bottles, discarded wood). But they've managed to present the objects in a gallery-friendly, 'cleaned-up' manner that doesn't take away from the wonky, indie aesthetic. Hoping to suck up some inspiration from these displays.

ALSO:
Super exciting bonus news flash! I'm in a show! Dropped this little guy off-- framed tastefully using green painter's tape-- at the Washington Street Art Center. The show: "Me and My Friends Make Art II". Sadly I'll be in San Francisco for the opening on Friday the 12th.
"You Ruined It"--- at the Washington Street Art Center from July 12-27th, 2013
