Baby Tattooville - For the Ultimate Fan

Boing Boing has a post about the upcoming Baby Tattooville ultimate art fanboy/fangirl event. It costs a pretty penny, but you get to spend a weekend at famous funky Mission Inn in Riverside, CA, hang with some of th every best artists, and walk away with lots of great art and swag. This year's participants include Ana Bagayan, Glenn Barr, Dave Cooper, Bob Dob, Joe Ledbetter, Brandi Milne, Daniel Peacock, Shag, Amy Sol, Michael Whelan, and potentially a special guest artist or two.

Without the time constraints of a typical personal appearance, or the crowd control issues of a standing-room-only event, artists and collectors will have a weekend-long opportunity to discuss and explore their mutual interests. Original work will be created and celebrated around-the-clock. No one will leave empty handed. Only 18 out of 50 event packages are still available, and they are selling fast.

Are you a true fan? Only 13 spots left!

Amy Sol at Thinkspace

Friday the 13th will be lucky for anyone who has the chance to get on down to Thinkspace Gallery in LA to see Amy Sol's new show, Karmic Magic. (Of course, you could always check out the show online, but then you wouldn't get to meet Ms. Sol and see her beautiful work in person).

Amy Sol is one of the fastest rising stars in art today, and there's no question as to why. Her images, mostly painted in soft pastels on panels of wood, are lyrical and ethereal. In the words of the show website, "Imaginary furry animals and floral patterns emerge from the grains found on the panels of wood that line the walls of Amy Sol's Las Vegas studio. They become companions to the breathtakingly soft and sweet female characters that inhabit her work." Couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Her work has been rising rapidly in price due to her growing popularity, so buy a piece, or a print, before it's too late.
