A Special Place...

If you're in L.A., check out the work of the talented, Jeremiah Ketner. He creates a topography of whimsical enchantment filled with daringly cute characters inspired by Japanese aesthetics and pop-culture. Elizabeth Page Smith Atelier will feature 28 new paintings in his solo exhibition, "A Special Place". Opening reception is this Thursday, September 27th from 6PM to 10PM. CLICK HERE for more info.

Checked out your friend's work. Really cool. They are enchanted. Wish I had a couple extra hundred bucks to buy up some of her silkscreen prints. I love silkscreen prints. I love etching as well... but I don't see that as much. Hmmmm....

Anyway, her work is cool. Very different vein. While Jeremiah's work is very much almost a hieroglyph of cuteness ala Japanese-inspiration... her's are much more stylized narratives. I really like her Canceled Flight piece. For some reason, I've never really liked pigeons...

I miss you too! How was your trip to San Francisco? Did you say hello to Tabitha and Mr. Bravo? Thanks for the birthday wishes. Maybe when I get back we'll have to go for sushi.
