Just a reminder that Survival of the Fittest is still up at Harmony Gallery through April 17th.
Seriously, it's the best show in town.
Go there, see it, and buy some art. It's all reasonably priced and it's all really great work. You don't need another pair of designer shoes, you need some art on your walls.
Also- there are iris prints of the "Snigerpus" artwork (pictured above) available for pre-order from the gallery for $150.
NOW GO!!!

I'm in Nickelodeon Magazine!
Nickelodeon Magazine has always had a great comic section that includes gag-strips by some of the best indie-cartoonists out there: Johnny Ryan, Sam Henderson, Kurt Wolfgang, Martin Cendreda, and many many more...
Well- I'm not in the comic section with those guys (though you should check them out, too), but I am on most of the pages of the magazine. If you look at the page numbers you'll see a little mini-strip I drew for them.
It starts with these two dudes on the first page...
Then there is a series of fight-clouds, with the page numbers in the center, scattered throughout the issue...
It all ends with the dudes thoroughly pummelled, but happy with the comic-book split between them. Ahhhhh, sharing- a nice message for the kiddies.
Hopefully I'll get to do more work for them in the future.

Survival of the Fittest: 13 Artists at
"In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment."
–Charles Darwin
It’s time for the art world to evolve. Survival of the Fittest is a group show of 13 artists at Harmony Gallery in Hollywood March 6th-April 17th. The purpose of the show is to represent a wide range of new talents and new ideas in the hybrid world of fine art, illustration and comics. The institutional categories of “Illustration”, “Fine Art”, “Low-Brow”, “High-Brow”, and “Cartoon” no longer apply in today’s changing art world. It’s time to abandon this out-dated class system, to break down the barriers as a new breed of Artist is emerging. The 13 artists represented, from different backgrounds, with different purpose, all approach their individual practices with conviction and the serious pursuit of “Art.”
Featuring Art by:
Tom Neely, Curator
David Jones, Gallery Director
Opening March 10th, 8-10 pm
5911 1/2 Franklin Ave
Hollywood, CA 90028
with Music by D.J. Algonquin
The gallery is also publishing a small press of catalogs for this show.
