to those of you who asked about prints at the next show:
yes, there will be an exclusive print edition at Jonathan Levine Gallery.
its an edition of 150 and most will be first available to in-person guests at the gallery of the opening night.
and whatever is left will be sold by request via email/phone.
dont worry if theyre gone though,
because we will do another Time Limited print edition in the beginning of next year.
will conduct a poll just like last time. ;) |

| Baby Tattooville |
[Sep. 18th, 2009|03:08 pm] |
so i will be a part of this very special event, Baby Tattoville, coming up in a couple weeks.
this is a 3day exclusive event where collectors can mingle with selected artists, and receive tons of one of a kind goodies.
~a more detailed explanation here:

~click on the links here to see photos from past two years: 2008, 2007.
"This October, Baby Tattoo Books is offering a rare opportunity for a very limited number of fans and collectors to spend a weekend immersed in a creative wonderland with Audrey Kawasaki, Travis Louie, Elizabeth McGrath, Miss Mindy, Johnny KMNDZ Rodriguez, KRK Ryden, Greg “Craola” Simkins, Yoskay Yamamoto, James Gurney and a few surprise guests. This event, which is strictly limited to 45 paying attendees, is unlike anything you have ever heard of before. Imagine having three days and two nights to hang out with your favorite artists in a socially casual yet creatively stimulating environment; then imagine receiving a gift bag full of original sketches, exclusive prints, collectible art toys and other surprises. The event is called Baby Tattooville, and you do not want to miss it. Here are a few highlights...
- Collaborative live painting by all of the Featured Artists
- Limited edition print featuring work by all of the Featured Artists
- V.I.P. preview of “Son of Baby Tattooville” museum exhibition
- Dr. Sketchy’s life drawing salon with Featured Artists
- ‘round-the-clock art and entertainment
- Accommodations at Southern California’s most visually stunning hotel
- Multiple meals including a spectacular Sunday brunch
- Did we mention the jaw-dropping gift bag?
Baby Tattooville 2009 is taking place October 2-4 at the historic Mission Inn in Riverside, California. It is truly an experience beyond your imagination."
i will be painting on site, and will be giving out little hand drawn goodies, and offering prints and others.
im a bit nervous, but im sure it will be a lot of fun!
will try to take lots of photos to post here. |

ロスアンジェルス在住の全米若手アーティストの中でも一番注目されているオードリー川崎の日本での初個展。幼い頃から愛読していたマンガのスタイルとアールヌーボー様式から影響を受けた彼女のスタイルが現在のトレンドと融合し幅広いファン層を獲得しました。個展開催にあたり、作品が発表されていないにも関わらず、既にウェイティングリストへの希望が殺到、という異例の状況となっております。オードリー川崎も会期に合わせて来日、オープニングパーティーには出席します。
