the adventurer.

my year and a half tenure as co-owner and curator at the toothless cat gallery is coming to a close this saturday night with a two person show featuring my friend jeremy hush, who is amazing at many things; road trips, archery, mining abandoned houses as well as being an absolute genius with a ball point pen. many of his works recruit characters from his adventurous life spent traveling on the road as well as decaying debris paired with steam punk details. he also has quite the collection of interesting things which i discovered while visiting his studio. his show is this saturday from 6-10 at the toothless cat. if you live in philly, i hope to see you there!

margaux & walter kent: the only place left.

walter kent

margaux kent

the black spot books

the first time i saw the work of margaux kent was at the very first art star craft bazaar i vended at a few years ago. everything about her and her work struck me, even the table she was using and the objects she had for display. happily her and her equally talented husband are showing this month at my gallery, the toothless cat, here in philly. 'the only place left' features work from both walter and margaux, including a special trunk show opening night featuring work from the black spot books, this saturday night from 6-10. if you're in the philly area i hope you can make it! if not, i'll be posting pictures soon.

paul romano does the toothless cat.

while i'm on the subject of my gallery, i'm pleased to announce the forthcoming solo exhibition of artist paul romano this october 10 here in philly at the toothless cat. paul has worked in the music industry for over 10 years, creating the album artwork for popular bands such as mastodon. although i'm not familiar with any of this music, i had the great fortune of being introduced to paul's work via a visit to his studio, & was blown away. the exhibition promises to show a lot of the original work used for the album covers, but in this new context of the gallery, they gain a new meaning, transcending their original intent. the work itself is executed with classical precision from a master, at times steeped in myth & with a dark aesthetic. i'll be visiting paul's studio again after the opening for fecal face & i look forward to seeing some of you at the opening!
