Thanks to everyone who came out to the show last night.
The gallery was packed and we had a lot of fun.
I think 15 of the pieces sold last night!
There's still more for sale- cheap! (only $100 each)
And several copies of the book sold, too.
The show will be up till the first week of January.
So, if you missed opening night, go check it out sometime this month.

Book Release & Art Show!!!
A couple of announcements:
1) "Lost in the Grooves: Scram's Capricious Guide to the Music You Missed" is NOW IN STORES!!!
This book is an encyclopedia of bizarre and forgotten gems in the history of music, written by a whole mess of people ranging from critics to musicians to obsessive fans to artists.
Edited by Kim Cooper and David Smay (who brought you "Bubblegum Music is the Naked Truth" last year)
and ILLUSTRATED BY ME!!! i did 27 illustrations and I designed the cover.
I'm really really really proud to be a part of this book and I hope you'll all run out and buy it now!
(unless you're in LA- you should skip to item #2).
I've seen this book in Barnes & Nobles, and it's at Amazon.com, so I know it must be everywhere!
2) Lost in the Grooves ART SHOW & Book Release Party!
I'll be showing all of the illustrations for the book at the Harmony Gallery.
All work is for sale- and cheap, too!

With D.J. Agent OOSoul- "Coming to y'all direct from the Undisclosed Location -- and straight outta Groovesville -- Agent OOSoul takes a hip trip, dippin' deep into his trick bag of smokin' soul 'n' burnin' funk obscurities when he makes a rare appearance on the "wheel of steel" (translation: one turntable)... Agent OOSoul plays 45rpm records exclusively."
For more info and map to the gallery
Buy your book from the gallery and I will be glad to sign/doodle bad drawings in it for you (as well as any other contributors attending), so you can sell it on e-bay for the big bucks!
I hope to see all you LA people there.
