Looking Back on L.A. Last Month
The night after my solo show opening in L.A., I drove over to Chinatown to attend another opening on Valentine's night. This was the "Movers and Shakers" show at POVevolving Gallery.
What a great show it was, curated by Gino Joukar. I was honored to be in it. You can see my "French Bubble Gum Encore" painting on the left side of this photo. More photos of this show can be found here (dailydujour). Chinatown was so much fun, however, I was not feeling that well and had to go back to my hotel early. Getting soaked the day before in a downpour, walking to the La Brea tarpits, and then playing hokum music at my own show really wore me out, I guess!

More photos of Tickleroos



CLICK images to enlarge for better view.
Also, here is the complete postcard that they designed (Anthony Clarkson did the graphics) for the show (front and back). I am really proud of the way it all came together. To see these uke babies hung between my paintings in a wonderful gallery in L.A. was truly a thrill that I will never forget.

2 Days Left to See "Dreamgirls and Ukes" at Thinkspace
This video was actually taken of The Hokum Scorchers on Feb 13, 2009 at Thinkspace on the opening night of my art show. I believe there are a couple more videos on YouTUBE of the rest of the performance. My solo art show will only be up for two more days, March 5 & 6th. Be sure to catch it if you are in Los Angeles. Hours: 1-6pm. 4210 Santa Monica Boulevard.
Thanks to Dinosaurs and Robots and King David Ukulele Station for recently blogging about the art in this show.
Here's a link to my Complete Art Show on FLICKR . I think I managed to pull off a really different type of art show with the help of Mr. Reimuller and the good folks at Thinkspace. I owe them all a ton of gratitude.

Teenar- Most Outrageous Guitar?!

(Thanks, Mark Lowrie for heads up.)
This guitar was made by my luthier, Lou Reimuller, back in 1986 from a vintage mannequin. Exactly what is so "wrong" about her, I'll never know! She's just art made out of a found object -a "sculpture". But, she also happens to play. The outrageousness must have to do with people projecting their own thoughts onto her and the whole idea of someone playing her. But, she really doesn't mind. She's not human!
