Tribute to Gygax Gallery Show

"Roll of the Dice"

Hey gang, come and check out a new gallery show opening this Saturday August 23rd, 7pm at Titmouse, Inc. Israel Sanchez, Richard Pose and I will all have work in the show, alongside Dave Johnson and Gabe Swarr among others. My tribute to Gygax (creator of Dungeons & Dragons) includes a nod to the Monster Compendiums, used by Dungeon Masters in the mid-eighties. I remember getting an edition as a gift with the many-eyed BEHOLDER monster on the cover. For super-geeks out there, the BEHOLDER made a guest appearance in another eighties classic, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA.

The show runs through Sept. 27th.

The Great Great Grand Show

The comma free "Great Great Grand Show" opens this Saturday at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra. The show will feature new historical themed paintings by Scott Campbell, Jon Klassen, Graham Annable, and me, Israel Sanchez. Graham is going to premiere a new animated short called "From Whence Before Times" at the opening. The night will include old time piano music to keep you entertained and free booze to keep you tipsy. Hope to see you there.

I did this drawing last night at Sacramento's Pompsicle life drawing sessions. It is every Tuesday at 6 to 9 pm at the Brick-a-Brack gallery on P-St off of 21st. I've been going to this for awhile now and been having a blast. After not life drawing for about 3 years....yes I can admit it now....I've started back up. Feels great. Also Pompsicle is costume themed life drawing which is way more fun then plan old naked life drawing.
