Photos from the adidas Originals opening at South Coast Plaza featuring Rob Gonzales, Jake Brown, dstrbo, Ty G, Wendy City, Love Made and the Hawthorne Headhunters.
Tom Wesselmann was known as the “pleasure painter”. I first encountered his art in the pages of Avante-Garge Magazine . Simple clean pop graphic imagery, with a sense of humor … and some sexiness! have a look …..
Allen Ginsberg painting, by Dan Buller with Tyler Gibney is available in the HVW8 Online Store.
The piece is Silkscreen with Acrylic on Canvas, 19″ by 26″ (stretched), created in the HVW8 Gallery in 2008. The piece was recently featured in Juxtapoz. The piece is on display at the HVW8 Gallery.
The Arabian Prince, from N.W.A. fame, rolled by the HVW8 Gallery and did a drop on the LATBBQ podcast.
DJ Chicken George from Austin, Texas, joins Max and Ty G on the latest edition of the Live at the BBQ podcast. For more info on the show check the HVW8 Podcast page or Subscribe free via iTunes.
Gene Pendon and Brian Armstrong will be at the Voodoo Festival in New Orleans representing HVW8 with a projected multi-media installation. Lil Wayne, N*E*R*D, R.E.M., Erykah Badu, Sharon Jones and the Daptones are just a few of the many performers at the 3 day festival.
