All is in full effect and the works are back from the framers - few more to come tomorrow and one or two more drop offs. Down to the wire, but what can ya' expect from a huge international group show. I hope to have the preview ready Fri afternoon and will post here once ready. Some amazing works in the show, in all shapes and sizes and ranging the price spectrum. Some really clever and fun stuff from many new faces thanks for the curatorial efforts of the folks at MODART. Flavorpill named it the show to catch this Fri, so I'm pretty stoked on that. special installations from Nomad and Guillaume Desmarets Mr. Jago was not able to come over, but has still delivered an awesome body of new work ranging from his killer works on silk to add'l works on paper and canvas. MODART did however flyout Nomad and Guillaume Desmarets to have a lil' fun in the gallery and they are in-house as I type going to town. Demi Moore has been tweeting up the show all week as she and good ol' Ashton are big collectors and supporters of Nomad - who'd have thought huh? Going to be curious to see what they does, if anything, to the vibe of the show. Other recent additions include Logan Hicks (with three stunning new works), Lyle Owerko and Ruedione - it's a packed house. Some add'l sneak peeks: El Gato Chimney Mr. Jago Sheone KuKula Dave The Chimp Jon Burgerman Logan Hicks Invisible Heroes More to come... including some shots of Nomad and the gang going to town installing this beast.

That poofy haired person is Soleil's (Punky's) husband producer and writing partner to Krutcher Jason Goldberg.
NOMAD went to Vegas with Ashton and Demi this weekend - awaiting a report of the mischief they all got up to.

"Before coming to Vegas to celebrate with Rumer, Ashton and Demi hung out with close pals Soleil Moon Frye and her hubby Jason Goldberg at a Modart magazine party at L.A.'s Thinkspace Gallery. The happy couple sipped on red wine, browsed the artwork and hung with German street artist Nomad." - PEOPLE www.people.com/people/article/0,,20298708,00.html AND www.people.com/people/article/0,,20298516,00.html

It's his film company - Katalyst Films - that man has a huge posse of folks working for him. Been very surreal dealing with them and they are mad in the loop on street art, who'd have thought? Nomad is off to Texas now with Chaz from London Police and the MODART crew for a lil' getaway before LP's big show at Carmichael - TX beware!
