T-Bill Gaming will host a LIVE SIMULCAST of the Phillips de Pury Now Auction on Saturday, March 6th, 12pm, at Winkleman Gallery as part of #class.
In an effort to bring the broadest possible array of art practice to #class, William Powhida and Tom Sanford have come together to host and underwrite an afternoon of the sometimes-overlooked art of book making. Through this event, (the artists’ first venture into book ... CONTINUE TO POST »
The shadowy figure who is the conceptual artist/curator/aspiring mormon calling himself Qi Peng has curated me into an exhibition called “The Artist Guide to the L.A. Gallaxy” at the West Los Angeles College Art Gallery. I think this is my first show in an academic institution that i did not attend. I guess I am finally going legit.
I won’t be able to make it out to LA, so I sent ... CONTINUE TO POST »

Brent Birnbaum’s ICE ICE MAYBE in store appearance at Ted Reiderer’s NEVER RECORDS went extremely well. Brent channeled Vanilla Ice with such gusto that not only did he autograph and sell hundreds (well at least well over one hundred) of Sanford/Birnbaum prints, but he also signed almost as many body parts. Yes he signed boobs!
We still have a few prints left which we are selling off over the internet to ... CONTINUE TO POST »
Yo Tom,
How was the rest of your weekend? That was fun and I’m kinda glad its over…. as far as the prints goes: WE SOLD MAD PRINTS. I bought a fresh pair of SKIDZ and got the 5.0 detailed to celebrate. I do have a few prints left over and if there are any of the V.I.P. Posse who weren’t able to get into the show (due to lines ... CONTINUE TO POST »
No Longer Empty is putting on a show called Never Can Say Goodbye at the (now defunct) flagship location of Tower Records at East 4th street and Broadway in money makin’ Manhattan. I am excited to be collaborating with Brent Birnbaum in the show, as part of Ted Reiderer’s NEVER RECORDS installation.
Ted will be realizing a grand, multi-artist installation in which he will create a simulation of a long forgotten relic ... CONTINUE TO POST »
Ridykeulouse Hits Bottom opens tonight at Leo Koenig Projekte and includes this drawing by Aaron Johnson. I checked out the show yesterday while the Ridykeulouse ladies were installing. It is a really wonderfully vulgar show, and one would expect nothing less – lots of exceptional work, including Aaron’s gruesome drawing. The show includes work by the following artists:
A.K. Burns, Aaron Johnson, Anna Sew Hoy, Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, Cody Critcheloe/ssion, Cyrus Saint ... CONTINUE TO POST »
It seems that my 2005 painting “The Assassination of Dimebag Darrell” is going back to auction and this has re-ignited the ire of Dimebag’s fans. In fact I learned of the auction through a surge in the regular trickle of hate mail/criticism that this piece engenders. Roadrunner records blog, called Blabbermouth, posted a short (and I thought remarkably fair) article about my painting and the upcoming Phillips de Pury auction. ... CONTINUE TO POST »
