DRAW is a must-see art exhibition featuring original drawings by over 300 artists in the skateboard, music, urban, tattoo, literature, design, illustration, animation, psychedelic and new contemporary art worlds. The show is a tribute to the often underrated but
fundamental building block of visual and graphic art: the drawing.

DRAW is the largest contemporary drawing exhibition to emerge out of New York City. Most recently, the exhibit drew over 2000 people to its London debut at StolenSpace, East London’s Leading Contemporary Urban Art Gallery. The exhibit debuted in October
of 2006 at NYC’s Fuse Gallery to phenomenal response from audience and press alike. It had an equally impressive showing during the SXSW 2007 Music and Interactive-Film Festival in Austin, Texas. DRAW is currently on a six-country world tour that includes
future showings in Tokyo, Paris, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Berlin.

Artists whose original works are in the show include: Alex Grey, HR Giger, Clive Barker, Richard Serra, David Byrne, Dalek, Gibby Haynes of Butthole Surfers, psychedelic legend Rick Griffin, Ron English, Neck Face, skate legend Mark Gonzales, Ed Templeton, Jack Rudy, Sorayama, Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance), WK Interact, Camille Rose Garcia, Tim Biskup, Benjamin Cho, Mark Bode, Kevin Llewellyn, Michael Hussar, Eric White, Rich Jacobs, Shawn Barber, Mike Giant, DAZE, Derek Hess, Mark Dean Veca, Brian Degraw, Nate Loman, Brendan Fowler, Aurel Schmidt, Gary Baseman, Shepard Fairey, Tara McPherson, Mars-One, Hank Williams III, and many, many more.

DRAW is curated by Erik Foss and Curse Mackey with guest curators Justin Giarla, Rich Jacobs, Jamie O’Shea, Tim Barber, Damian Weinkratz, Les Barany, Brendan Fowler, Mike Aho, Sto, Lisa Lebofsky and D* Face.

I love it when bummerdom becomes productivity. I was really bummed out for a while there round about christmas time and it really sucked. I lost a lot in terms of my ideas about the way things should work between people and their communications and in terms of the function of hope. It resulted in me starting this blog and rambling about everything and anything (especially love). It also resulted in me fasting a bit and then drinking heavily. But what's important is that I made something good out of it. I needed to distract myself or else I couldn't sleep so I turned to the thing that is second most important in my life: art. And my solution wasn't to focus on making my own art. It would have been terrible. I instead started to focus on everyone else's art. I started putting together art shows with the help of my roommates called Fresh Grown Local that focus on showing the art of our friends in a celebratory environment. Everyone is welcome. Then we could all drink to our hearts content in the context of art. We could damage our livers and our brains productively! The first show had a great turn out and the second one is coming up on the 27th and I couldn't be more excited. I needed that disappointment in order to focus on art and organizing these events. Ideally I want to develop an art focused community. That's something that I feel hasn't existed much since the eighties and not in prime form since the fifties and sixties. It's kind of a stretch to say that We're anywhere near developing this sort of community but I think these art parties are good for us anyway. I've made a bunch of new friends through it and become closer with old ones and it's just the beginning! I'm really excited about art and people in general. Still a bit numb but it's definitely residing. Pins and needles stage.
New focus.
New people.
Good friends.

From the cup on the ground to the man in the crown,
Not one exists more than another.
2-D it. We live flat existence.

And then there was woman.

Everybody funny! Now you funny too!
