The postcard will be an ebay hit. It’s a bit dirty, but Dave’s hands were black from paint. His show is this thursday at the Lazarides gallery. Dave’s the man, I’ve been hearing he’s sold a lot of the show already. He’s rich! Tell him to give you money. The collectors are rolling in. He’s also having a show at the same time at the same gallery but in their Newcastle area. London is a powerful economy. It’s hard to believe and understand how it all works at first glance. Dave on the street. I walked for hours and then lo and behold, I ran into him by luck. This art on the street is worth some dollars if you can excavate it from the wall. Dave’s pretty happy his closest friends are all here for him. That’s Paul, Dave’s brother. We ate at a Moroccan place. It was pretty good and it’s probably the place we’ll be at when we’re near the gallery in Soho.

I took a bunch of photos of the show. I started of course with Geoff, who's amazing, and gladly I can say that I'm a fan. Strong graphics, a cover story on issue 25, and he's bent the idea of what a graphic designer is all about. He's tweaked it further than I ever thought a graphic designer can. This show is part of that.
This is Ed Fella's work. He taught Geoff at Cal Arts.

[nggallery id=47] William Buzzell at Giant Robot New York, February 16 – March 12, 2008 Reception: Saturday, 6:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. Giant Robot Gallery 437 East 9th Street Between 1st Ave. & Ave. A, in the East Village New York, New York 10009 grny.net (212) 674-GRNY Giant Robot is proud to present Class Action, paintings and sculpture by Philadelphia-based artist William Buzzell. Working almost entirely with found wood or metal and common latex house paint, Buzzell’s pieces are characterized by a surface of intricate brushwork and often feature three-dimensional elements. William Buzzell dips into the mundane, the practical world and a deep well of popular culture, often using maps, logos, charts, text, and familiar cartoon characters or TV icons to fill every inch of his paintings. A native of Providence, RI, much of Buzzell’s early work was installed on the streets of his hometown and New York under the alias Rotgut. Buzzell is a current member of the Artist Studio/Gallery Space 1026 in Philadelphia. The artist has had major exhibitions in Los Angeles, San Jose, Sweden, and Canada. We are very pleased to offer his first solo show in New York. A reception for William Buzzell will be held from 6:30 to 10:00 on Saturday, February 16. For more information about the artist, GRNY, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact GRNY.

One of the most eye opening pieces isn't just a piece, it's a bunch of "junk" sitting on top of the flat file. Look at the structures, the characters, the wood carvings, and all this becomes parts of art pieces. The colors and such look like Brian Rush all the way. The three in the show really put together a team effort, and I'm proud to host this at GR2. More pics will come out later.
