I picked up the custom sized canvas that will be the center piece of my 2014 summer art show at La Luz De Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles Colette's Custom Framing has saved my butt so many times on rush jobs .... she is awesome! A great frame place that is run with Lots of ALOHA! I also grabbed some gallery wrapped giclees I'm excited about this canvas - my agent already is in discussions with an art patron on it's purchase... it'd be interesting to know what actually is going to go ON IT! (hey, I've said my art agent/partner Abbas, has really been a big help in getting my "gallery" art career going -, but wow - he's really becoming awesome at this sort of thing. He started from a place where he said "I know nothing about art, I don't want to be an art agent." Now, he seems to know more about the art business than some curators and gallery owners. He's the guy behind putting together the big Body Glove tiki-mug release party for Body Glove/the Wyland Kona Ocean Front gallery this October. After listening to him, I understand so much more about how the whole art world and business world , and how they work hand in hand. A gallery is a store it's not a museum. I know, of course, it would be nice to have the two worlds be separate,- you know - art for art's sake, -well... in a perfect world... but in the real world, they are very very tied together. I am actually starting to think that the business deals I see Abbas make are really PART of the whole Art experience I am putting out into the pop culture. I mean, if you are going to purchase an original "Low-Brow" art painting, shouldn't you get to make the "deal" with a tall, swanky dressed guy in dark glasses, oozing personality, driving an exotic sports car, with some kinda of gold tiki hanging around his neck?) Hey I guess I don't say it enough - Big Mahalo Abbas! You Totally RAWK! ANYWAYS, The BEST thing about working with Colette's Custom Framing is the smooches. Here is a list of all art prints for sale.
