Bring 'em out, Bring 'em out!

This is my friendly reminder, regarding the happenin' happenings happening in downtown tonight. Time management skills are a plus this evening.

8PM - 12AM: Check out my work and get a glimpse at my process at the Underground art show at Janette Kennedy Gallery in the SouthSide on Lamar building. There IS an admission fee, but you can get in for half price if you email david@artlovemagic.com before 5PM today. He'll put you on a pre-sale list and you'll be golden.

9PM - 12AM: Head on over to The Whitney Gallery in Deep Ellum for KINK, an erotic art show, featuring work by many talented local artists including my good friend Corey Godfrey.

10PM - 2AM: Get your live music fix by going to the City Tavern on Main to listen to the always asskicktacular Somebody's Darling and their homies, Charlie Shafter and the Gnomes.

See you out there somewhere tonight!

The best part of waking up...

is folgers in your cup...and a little  AM Radiohead. I don't watch Saturday morning cartoons anymore, but this is a fine substitute.

This is Community.

This past Saturday, I asked fellow Dallas-based artist, Tyson Summers if he would be down to participate in the upcoming "Valentine's Day Is..." art show...After a few myspace messages back and forth, Tyson not only let me know that he would be down to contribute, but he whipped up this amazing illustration for publicity purposes. I have admittedly slacked on designing a flyer, and I am astounded, flattered, and humbled by this man's quickness to create.

As of late, I've been lucky enough to meet some artists in the metroplex that I only knew by name and electronically on myspace. I've quickly learned that the nature of our small but vibrant scene is extremely supportive, connected, and dedicated to the creative endeavor. Tyson and his contributions are living, breathing proof of a creative community willing to give time and consideration to other artists and feed off of collective energy.

Check out what he's up to at www.tysonsummers.com

I wanna see your face...

THIS SATURDAY (01.31.09) at Janette Kennedy Gallery for ArtLoveMagic's Underground show. Click here to get half off the admission price. If you're interested, I'll be making some smaller pieces right there on the spot that you can snag for under 40 bones. If that doesn't get your panties in a wad, then perhaps the opportunity to meet James O'Barr, creator of The Crow will make it worth your while.

and TONIGHT at Dunn Bros. Coffee in Addison from 5:30PM - 7:30PM. I'll be there collecting the crap from your old relationships that you want to forget about for The Breakup Box, an upcoming interactive piece.

And now...we dive into the past..."Funboy's Dead!"

An Adult Snow Day!

For the first time since college, Mother Nature threw me a bone and allowed me to escape the ho-hum of daily obligations...I took that bone and chewed on it for the better part of this morning.

Here is my adult snow day:

Do you have any old relationship nostalgia?

Let us destroy it on Valentine's Day. Email me at tolentinoed.artwork@gmail.com or leave me a comment if you want us to make art out of that old shoebox of crap that you'd like to forget.

I guess this is growing up.

We're all feeling this now, in some way, shape or form. And it blows.

Thanks, Mike Judge, for helping us keep our sense(s) of humor.
