Nic Sneak Peek #3

Say hello to "Grandaddy"! This is one of Nic's newest paintings. It measures 9" x 12" and is acrylic on wood

Nic Sneak Peek #2

"Sneak peek #2" leans a bit towards the perverted/erotic side of the spectrum.




Ok, it doesn't quite "lean" on the perverted so much as it is smack dab in the middle of it.

This painting is acrylic on wood and measures 11.25" x 14.5". Right now the title is up for debate. It's either "Power U" or "Gold Member". Cast your vote.

Nic Sneak Peek #1

I will try to post at least one "sneak peek" a day until the opening. This is the first one and it's one of my personal favorites. It's called "Chicken-Fried Steak Burger" and is approximately 8.5" x 11", acrylic on wood.



Oh! Also, I made a "set" on flickr dedicated to this show. Check it out. Tongue And Teeth by Nic Rodriguez. This photo set will be updated quite a bit as the show develops and will eventually be the home to all things "Tongue And Teeth" related, like photos from opening night and available originals and prints, and other goodies.

Tongue And Teeth Show Prep, Post One

The countdown has begun. The opening for Nic's show is in four days. Nic started painting one of the gallery walls this afternoon. Check it.

















I'm a real sucker for pink, so I naturally think this wall looks amazing. And as the day turned to evening we headed outside so Nic could do a little piece by my front door.


















It will be a hectic week, but I'll try to keep you all informed with how the show is coming along. Also, I will try to keep the gallery open all week during the set up. If you come by and I'm closed feel free to give me a call and I'll probably be able to meet you within ten minutes or so.

The Madness Begins

The postcards for Nic's show arrived yesterday! It's always an exciting day around the gallery when art show postcards arrive. It makes everything seem more official. Plus, it means we get to start promoting. Fun times. So, we already mailed out 300 of these suckers and then ran out of postcard stamps. We probably have at least 100 more to send out. Unfortunately, I've had to retype 100's of snail mail addresses because the file I had them saved in on my old computer was not opening on my new computer. Fancy that. Luckily, I never threw away the dozens of sheets of paper with the handwritten addresses on them. Anyway, I hope all of you (my trusty 2,000+ readers) will be able to attend this exhibition on August 1. It's going to be awesome! For reals. I mean, seriously, check out that "Mad Hatter" painting. It's dope!
