The camera on my cell phone dosen’t even begin to do justice to the absolutely beautiful new work by Audrey Pongracz & Tim Pewe for the opening of Splinters & Paper Cuts, so get down to Rivers Edge Gallery and take them in for yourself.

Some of the new things you can find in my pop-up shop inside the Rust Belt Market this weekend.

Excited for the epic opening of the Adventure Time show at OhNo! Doom this Saturday? You’re not?!… Well, I just don’t know what to say to you person who obviously lacks any sense of fun, please step aside.

For the rest of you, give into that tingly feeling and feast on these samplings from just a few of the 40+ artists that will be involved in the show. You can even sign up for the ON!D Preview List to get first crack at the work from the opening.

See you Saturday night Chicago!

Ron Zakrin - Still Life with Drum Machine

Ron Zakrin is quickly becoming one of my favorite Detroit artists. His lush color palettes, textured canvas’ and unique characters, with their beautiful otherworldly glow, are hard to turn away from. He easily pulls you into his own mystical realm, and once there you won’t want to leave.

323 East in Royal Oak will be hosting Ron’s next solo show Still Life with Drum Machine. An exhibit heavily influenced by Zakrin’s love of electronic music. Check out the opening on Friday, May 18th and be amazed!
