My Big News!!!!

[doopa]

Hey guys. Big news for me. I got my own gallery show for my art out here. :posh It's going to be in June. This is very exciting for me. It wouldn't have happened if not for poppers620 because I have always been too whimpy to show people my work and try getting a show myself. Poppers620 is volunteering at a gallery and showed the owner my site. He liked my work so I assembled some balls for myself and went in to talk to him. And that's the story.
Anyway, Rog or I will be posting more about it (time/date/location) when it gets closer for anyone who lives out here that might wanna go.
I will be there all night to slap people on their backs and call them "chum". So don't miss out.
Also I have a myspace now. I will try to use this to make announcements about art things now and then. www.myspace.com/strangepuppets
And can one of you crazy myspace nerds possibly tell me how to get rid of the frookin white border near where people make comments, and were it says "contacting" "interests" and "details"
stupid sunofabitch myspace.

Ok guys that's it!
:squigly

Huge, huge, HUGE congratulations!

My childhood best friend lives out your way and is an aspiring art guy, and I shall send him and his wife your way when the time comes. I only wish I could go myself.

[sadie]

that's awesome! someone will have to take lots of photos to post.

[Dole]

Fantastic Doopa! hearty congrats. make sure you stick some highly exorbitant prices on yer works.

[Cosmo Electrolux]

Congrats Doopa!!!

[Grislygus]

Holy shit, congrats. I want to say more, but I don't have all that much to say.

Other than "post lots and lots of pictures, because art shows are awesome," of course.

[FartinMowler]

Well, if you stuff is going to sell it's going to be in LA :/ congradulations

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Very cool, congrats.

I took a look at the site www.strangepuppets.com - love it.

Until recently I was the director of a gallery in Toronto, now I am a artist agent and the people I represent rather unique doll makers, prop makers and even taxidermists.

I'll add you to my MySpace top 8 - a lot of eclectic artists frequent my site. You should really take advantage of the networking available on MySpace. I use it a lot in successfully promoting the artists I represent.

Oh, and putting <Z> into those sections make them disappear.

[noob3]

My mom use to be in a gallery but she quit because she said she didn't like the other old bags in the gallery true story :x

Do you ever/plan to go to any art festivals? My mom did one in San Diego I believe but usually just around OK :/

Thanks Max. And yes please do since I worry only 3 people will show up. Someday you and I will have a joint show.

Fantastic Doopa! hearty congrats. make sure you stick some highly exorbitant prices on yer works..

Thank you very much. I will spit on everyone who walks through the door then wait until the right time to throw a tantrum and run out yelling "nobody GETS me"

Thanks very much! This the gallery I will be having the show at: hyaenagallery.com. Seriously thanks for the myspace add. I know that somehow myspace is really helpful for people trying to do promotions which is why I am trying to set up on there. I hate myspace a lot though, so I have been doing it grudgingly. And I'm still having trouble quite understanding how to use it. I finally fixed some crap on my page tonight though.

Btw you have an interesting site. Ever been to the Mutter Museum in Phladelphia? If not I highly recommend a visit.

I've thought about doing things like local fairs/meets where they sell stuff like punk crafts. I know there are some cool poster art festivals and stuff like that. Maybe sometime..

Much thanks, I'm very lonely and it's good of you to try and take care of the elderly
:themoreyouknow


And thanks also to everyone else for the congrats

[AChimp]

Congrats Doopa!

When are you going to make that cyborg monkey painting I commissioned you for like 5 years ago?

[Dr. V]

When and where and I'll try to be there :P

[Protoclown]

Congrats again, Re! I want to come see you guys SOMEtime this year, so maybe I'll try to schedule my trip so that I can go to the show! Something to think about anyway...

[executioneer]

maybe someone should schedule a certain meet around that time ;(

[deAdeNdz]

hell yeah! that is good news! i still have 4 of your older prints hanging in my apartment ...everyone always says "woah who made that?!?! that's cool"

good work

peace out

[doopa]

Thanks again everyone!

ps. Willy - you are brilliant

[liquidstatik]

i added you :x

p.s. i've always liked your paintings ;o

[noob3]

dump rog, doopa! this way you can just flirt with the really rich guys & they'll buy your paintings for overbloated amounts to hopefully inch closer into your panties

he's only holding you down!!

[theapportioner]

Congrats Re, so happy for you :)

[sspadowsky]

All of the positive sentiments that all the other people have expressed are things that I also feel and would like to extend to you.

I'm going to buy more of your stuff while it's still cheap.

[doopa]

oh thank you thank you thank you everyone!

spad brings up a good point ;)

they are selling some of my shit in their store already ( for anyone in the area) and they do have one original painting by me for sale now on their site.
annnd I will also be getting some new prints, t-shirts and canvas repo's hopefully sometime soon.

I'm going to send stuff to some other gallerys and see what other shows I can get

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

The Hyaena looks great. There are some really wonderful and whimsical pieces on the site as well. I actually own bits and pieces from some of the featured members.

The more I'm looking at this, the more it is right up my alley and I wish I lived in Cali.

On Feb 2nd I'm opening a new gallery - 'The Artery'. The Artery is not only a gallery space displaying originals and prints from local and international alternative artists, but it also performs double duty, offering workshops in Visual Arts, Writing Craft, and Song Writing.

It's an offshoot of and organization I founded with a few other 'artists, locally known as SCAR and sort of grew out of my fringe performance stuff and a real lack of contemporary art creative showcases and outlets in this community.

I may or may not be doing some sideshow stunts at the opening.

[Evil Robot]

Like having somebody throw darts into your back while you pretend the audience respects you for it but really you just look like an attention starved homo? Because I saw that guy open for GWAR once, are you that guy?

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

No, but I know that guy. Er...not in the 'biblical' sense...he being an attention starved homo and all.

The 'human dartboard' requires no skill...just some balls...and some darts, of course.

As much trouble as I have with LA, I have to say the art scene here is pretty cool and just in general there is a lotta shit going on in this city.
Good luck with the new gallery
