Rarely do I watch an entire Kickstarter pitch, but I crush on Amanda Palmer hard and this is a great gimmick for a campaign video. And well, she’s right, this is the future of music and art and filmmaking and invention and chemistry, construction, innovation and baking. Although the word future is not what it used to be. Future now means….. next 6 to 8 months?  So we agree with her proclamation until September? Maybe November?

‘Welcome to the Freak Show’ opens Saturday, April 28 and features a group of artists who often explore the dark recesses of the human psyche in their work. The show will highlight emerging artists Apricot Mantle, Jon MacNair, Zach Schoenbaum, and Jessica Ward. Joining them will be a surprise pool of up-and -coming Los Angeles talent”

Last Rites Gallery presents the homecoming of Cruciatus Aeternum, Paul Booth’s collection of works for the Giger Museum.

Painter, tattooist and entrepreneur Paul Booth has become an internationally recognized figure and a pioneer in gaining mainstream recognition for the dark arts movement. Paul’s acclaimed retrospective, which ran from November through April 2012 at the H.R. Giger Museum in Switzerland, now makes it’s way back to New York where it will be displayed for one weekend only at Last Rites. The show presents an evolution of his artwork over the past 10 years- in paint, mixed media, and tattoo.
