Hello All,

Two quick gallery shows to update.

The first is a pretty big Day of the Dead or, for our Spanish speaking friends, Dia de los Muertos group show opening this Saturday, October 3rd, from 6 to 9 pm at Lulubell Toy Bodega & Gallery here in good ol’ Tucson. I curated the show so if it stinks, you can blame me. I DO NOT, however, believe it will stink. I know that it is going to be amazing, so you should come out and see it. You don’t want to be the one to miss the show that all your friends are talking about, do you?

I didn’t think so.

The show will feature 12 artists from around the country putting their own personal spin on the iconography of the holiday. It’s not to be missed! The postcard for the show, featuring the work of Vicki Lázaro, is below. Feel free to share.

It’s going to be a blast.

Secondly, my painting, Baby Hates Koala, is hanging in Solar Culture Gallery’s current group show. I believe the show is called Sacred Dance. In my painting, a baby is punching a koala. Sacred dance, indeed. It’s hanging with some pretty spectacular paintings and I’m proud to be in the same company. So if you’re hanging out on Toole Ave near Stone in Tucson and want to see some good art, stop on by Solar Culture.

I also have some rather exciting art updates coming up in the next week. Be sure to stop back by to check them out.

Cheers!

Hello Everyone!

I’m excited to finally say that Mad Science, my gallery show with Fabian Corona and Dave Carender, is opening this Saturday. It’s taking place at Lulubell Gallery and Toy Bodega in Tucson, AZ. There’s an opening reception from 6 to 9 pm.

Below are all of my pieces for the show with descriptions and prices. If you are interested in purchasing any of the pieces contact the gallery directly at (520) 622-5858.

The first 6 images are a series I’m calling “Disaster Tourism.” They are influenced by the kinds of vintage travel postcards that would tout various tourist destinations or roadside attractions. These images also include some sort of fantastical element that is somehow ruining the intended destination.

The right half of my wall contains the Disaster Tourism series.

Disaster Tourism: Vegas

Measuring 11×15 (11.25 x 15.25 including frame)
Painted in gouache and oils.
$375

In Just 30 days, my gallery show with Dave Carender and Fabian Corona will open at Lulubell Gallery and Toy Bodega in Tucson, AZ. Below are some small snippets from a few of the paintings that I’ll be showing.

It’s a crazy sprint now to get it all done in time!

The opening is July 11th from 6 to 9 pm. I’ll post more details as the show approaches.

The postcards for Mad Science, my gallery show at Lulubell Gallery and Toy Bodega have arrived! If you’d like me to send you a postcard I can. Just e-mail me at phil@minotaurstudios.net with the appropriate street address.

To see the postcard you’ll be receiving, see the previous post.

It’s coming up quick! Keep checking back for more updates.

I’m participating in a three person gallery show in July along with Fabian Corona and Dave Carender. Lulubell Gallery and Toy Bodega was kind enough to organize and host the thing. Make sure you stop by on July 11th from 6 to 9 pm to tell Lulubell just how great they are for doing this. While you’re there perhaps you’d like to look at my paintings.

The postcard with all of the information is posted below.

I’ll be posting updates and images as the show approaches so be sure to check back in!
