American Butcher - Just one of the many rad new illustrations for Purveyors from Matthew Ryan Sharp.

Purveyors of Firewater & Opiates opens June 16th @ LIFT.

Lovin’ the latest Great Showdown from Scott C:

“Most artists take years to develop their style, Thierry seemed to miss out on all those bits.”

Illustrator, and whiskey aficionado, Matthew Ryan Sharp is hard at work in the studio brewing up a new batch of gypsy-carnie-vaudeville-drifter type folks for our two-man exhibit Purveyors of Firewater and Opiates.

Hedonistic bears on shore leave, moonshine chugging clowns and more can be found when Purveyors opens June 16th at LIFT in Royal Oak.

Those two-plus hours you spent last weekend watching a movie based on a board game could have been better spent.

Read a book.

Don’t Fear… drops tonight on 1xRun! Well, tonight’s post was going to be all about the Reaper Rabbit paintings dropping on 1xRun… but while they were being released I was out drinking Atwater Lager from a can and watching America’s Next Top Model, (yes really, it’s one of the most important social experiments of our time!) and they’ve already sold out. Congrats, and thank you, to the lucky 3 that snagged one! 

If you have a few free mintues you’d like to cram with some random nuggets of awesomeness, I gave the fellas at 1x an interview in which I come out as an afficianodo of tacos and talk about getting into a slap-fight with the corpse of Keith Harring. You can check it out here.

So many rabbits… (Taken with instagram)

Good advice from a purple bear.

After watching his fish friends become artful delicacies he decided he wasn’t about to become just another piece of Nigiri. To secure his freedom he’d have to take matters into his own tentacles.
