Going Down

As people come and go every day, commerce must do the same. Unfortunately, it is this scene, this community that loses two great art galleries this month, Motel Gallery and Lab 101 Gallery. I bought one of my first pieces at Motel from Jenn Armbrust, who is incredibly nice and I wish her the best. Lab 101 is also great with shows this year that housed the artwork of Albert Reyes, Sam Flores, Kathleen Lolley and Blaine Fontana. The store is still up so check out what is still available. There are several exclusive prints from notable artists like Michael Seiben and Mel Kadel.


To the aforementioned galleries, I guess this is your time:


(I really like this song, it reminds me of really good hardcore, circa mid to late-90s. Plus, they have a really cool band name)

No Sleep Till Brokelynn

So I just realized that Giant Robot beat me out with my previous entry topic but I had really planned it out this morning. Well, I'm offering my professional opinion, I suppose. All-in-all, I guess that it doesn't really matter. No hard feelings since I'm going to mention them in the next paragraph.

So anyway, keep an eye out for Kathleen Lolley. She's had a busy year - a solo show at OK OK Gallery in April (a really cool series, BTW) and a very busy summer with group shows at Lab 101 and at Giant Robot. Her solo show at Giant Robot NY opens on October 20th and Urban Outfitters is offering a cool triptych print set online. $40?!? Friggin' steal. The OGs were pretty affordable from what I remember. Too bad it sucks being broke.



















I thought I'd slide the title reference right here:
