Art Show Tonight - allright

As mentioned in a blog a while back, I got four new pieces of artwork in a group show that is having an artist's reception tonight. 6-9 (or so) at Esteban Sabar Gallery in Oakland. Theo Auer presents "The There, There" featuring the likes of John Casey (who created the card artwork), Lexa Walsh, Derek Weisberg, and about six others including myself. The whole thing is a benefit for Theo's broken nose with any leftovers going to perhaps fund the start of his East Bay arts website.

I also gotta mention that Esteban Sabar is taking 30% commission on the work despite the fact that it is a benefit. I think this is pretty whack since Theo was stuck paying for card printing, promotion, and even making the artist-gallery contracts! Esteban had better be bringing in some high rollin', art collectin', upper crust motherfuckers to justify his 30%. Hell, 21 Grand takes less than that on all art sales of every show and does all the work for the artists.

So, besides all that, I'm stoked on the show and the artists and my new work and I hope Theo's nose gets straightened out.

Also, I'll be selling the Rowan Morrison goods (including the new Ryohei Book and the Found Paper Journal) at the CCA arts and crafts fair early tomorrow morning on the Oakland campus.
