I love the idea of this show, especially some of the portraits these artists are doing. NIN by Travis Louie, Snoop by Jeremy Lipking?

I like how some of the artists seem to be painting portraits of artists that don't seem to perfectly fit his/her art.

[greenhorn1]

all I can say is I can't wait to see the travis louie piece. one of my favorite bands, one of my favorite artists.

[sleepboy]

Apparently there will be different events on different days at the show. I wonder if any of this is invite only?

[thecreep]

Kris Lewis posted a progress shot of his Beck portrait. Looks killer so far. I like being able to see the stages of his work.

they posted some photos of pieces on flickr

Lori Earley's "Madonna" is beautiful.

Nice Mr.Louie

[travislouie]

Trent Reznor as H P Lovecraft

[sleepboy]

A lot of nice looking pieces. Liked the Lori Earley and Travis Louie as well...

[thecreep]

Wow, this is a great set of works. Some of these seem like perfect match-ups, the figure and painters style meld so perfectly. Like the Travis Louie, Natalia Fabia, Shawn Barber and of course Lori Earley.

I was looking forward to seeing what Joshua Petker would do with Radiohead, is that the piece he is submitting?

[thecreep]

Jeremy Lipking posted his Snoop Dogg painting on his blog. Looks amazing, I love the brush strokes and the expression he captured.

Sounds great, hung. I literally just got back from opening night. I left with a few hours to go in the show. Really great show. The Earley piece was priced at $92,000 Studio 1 dropped off three Fairey og's, ticketed at 10k per. Lots of great pieces. I was a bit bummed that the Ron English piece never showed up. I saw Travis there....both Barker and Louie ;D

[sleepboy]

Ah... I must have seen you, just don't know how you look like. Overall, a pretty cool show. Nice energy and looks like most artists went all out with their pieces even though it was kind of a last minute thing.












More pics here.

Haha, yes, you were definitely there Travis. If i hadn't been on that side, i would have missed that photo too.

Here are the shepard pieces, triptych. Maybe i'm not very hip but i didn't recongnize the band and there was no label.

[hillsj2001]

[steveinca]

The band is Interpol....well 3 out of 4 of the band members.

On a side note guys, does anyone know who was covering the show photo wise? I had at least four pics taken of me talking with will i am about pricing and what pieces were being bid on. I'd love to find those pics online.
