BOOM Beverly Hills

Boom Show
Thank you Thinkspace. Hello Beverly Hills.

everything is going extremley well

More Despair. The conquest of two worlds. Island of fire, sea of flame. Noir, my love. The surrender. Black lightning. Suffer my desire. Snake mother. Bed of black roses. Secrets of vengeance. Heart's blood. Black magic holiday. You can't win. Dark voices. Night land. Black dust. The dark tide. Forevermore. In these arms I keep. Clash of unions. The climax of a species.

Plazm Threads

Plazm is an independent local business in Portland, Oregon, they put out a magazine up there and do an amazing job working to promote the arts, social change, and environmental awareness. I recently worked with them on a collaborative tee that will accompany new subscriptions... avaliable in the fall, only with Plazm. Black v-necks?!!? Can't wait.


The Wanderings.

Nike 6.0 preview

... a little something to look forward to with Nike 6.0's like of graphic tees and outerware, as well as an upcoming group show with original pieces from the artists involved.

In the shadow of the night

In death's arms never stray. The road goes ever on. Pray for me evening frights. Darkness weaves. Fields of the setting sun. Black roses tell a story. Caves of ocean. Spirit fire and rouge. The conquest of two worlds. Since the beginning. The night herald. Destiny's winds of fate. Out of the forest and into the light. Purple of Cassius. Bonne nuit crystal cave. The serpent's only true twilight. Leaving the crusade to fate. Darkness falls forever. Beyond the fields we know. Tepid Neon frozen clarity. The glow o the shadow's end. Rouge spirit weaves. The time of things to come. Conflict of the summer's sun. On the 7th night. Black dawn brings me here. Eternal Moon. Emerald realm. Winter's Prophecy.

Love as usual...

Love, Grandarray

WORSHIP THEE KINDLY THE DARK HAND THAT GUIDES ME

Recently saw Skinner's show at 111 Minna in SF... recently lost my mind to the shadow of the night. Thank you darkness. Thank you metal. Thank you evening light. Welcome to Hell.

Euro-Space

Each morning I awake in a different state of confusion. I'm spending the next few weeks travelling around Europe. Nobody ever told me the sun never sets in this place. Nobody ever told me that the water in Barcelona glistened like gold. Why would anybody ever want to be anywhere else? This place is perfect. Which reminds me... the black plague, black death, London is burning, sunday bloody sunday sin queso por favor.... uno mas, solo uno mas Forever.

Twilight and Fate

Coming in July at Thinkspace Gallery...

Jen Vaughn Featured Artist

What inspires you the most?
The darkness within the light, human emotion and contrast.


What is your ultimate goal?
Bigger, better, more.


Is being in the dark with the lights out frightening or comforting?
There is definitely something in my closet.


If you could have a drink with one artist, living or dead, who would it be?
I just want to listen to Andy Warhol.


What do the recurring snakes in your work symbolize to you?
Obsessive repetition and childhood nostalgia—a little bit of lust and gore.

Thank you Jen Vaughn for all your help and support... always.

Feathers, Pelts and Bones

None of this would have been possible without them. I was recently at the home I grew up in, out in the mountains of Colorado- with my family. Breathing in the nostalgic air, stretching out on the carpet and sifting through old remnants and drawers. At one point I was asking my folks if they had any bones, furs or carcasses lying around that I could steal for my Animal Sex installation. Of course they do, more than I could ever possibly carry.


I inherited an entire box of gorgeous bird pelts from my mom, the skin of bambi, a horse jaw, and some handmade arrows and animal skulls from my pops. I had to leave my clothes in Aspen and fill my suitcases with the remains of dead animals... Its a freaking musuem of taxidermy and shrines out there. No wonder why I love them.


Thanks mom, I love you. Thank you dad... you guys are so amazing. xx

Highlight it. ALL of it.

Here are a couple shots from the 'Animal Sex' opening over at Show Cave Gallery a few weeks ago. Thanks to everyone that came out and got weird with it. The Sacrifice. No Regrets.

I'll post more pics of the show up on Flickr soon... stay ready.

Thank you, thank you, curtsey, bow.

Great. OK Great.

Here. Do you like these? Good....OK Great will give them to you.

What is more exciting than the lottery? Those big giant checks!?!? Come on... nothing is better than winning something and having a whole team of cameras and suits show up at your rural house early Monday morning just after you finished making pancakes in your ugliest sweatpants... now is your chance. Be that winner. OK Great will be surprising a few lucky individuals.. with a few prints and other Grandarray Love. Quick!!! Get on it!!

OK Great

NEEEEWWWWWWWW Interview up with OK Great.... check it out and see how many RnB THug lyrics I can fit into one Q & A. Then click on the OK Great header and get obsessed with the color changing color ways like I just did and spend the remainder of your day right clicking.

Booooooom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Booooooom Giveaway!!!
A million thanks to Jeff Hamada over at Booooooom for posting a little giveaway for some Grandarray product!! If you hurry you can answer your greatest fear and risk the chance of lacing up your torso with some Prehistoria fits- Jeff will announce the winners Monday.... I'm not gonna say anything, but whoever answered Mayonnaise as their greatest fear is kind of winning me over right now. If someone claims Critters as their #1 most feared I'm going to fucking loose it and show up at their house with a pile of cash and a 2Pac and Biggie reunion concert in the back of a pickup full of chocolate gold coins, A FREE TSHIRT, and a blue raspberry slurpee machine, just cause.

Thank you Sao Palo

New interview/feature/background up on SPFW, complete with a lot of really nice things in Portuguese.

I don't want to bore you too much, so I'll just translate some of the highlights and then you can imagine all the other life altering, mind blowing things I could really be talking about- better touch up on that whole 'get bilingual' New Years resolution thing. Its the 400th anniversary year of the invention of the telescope- and we have discovered 132,000 blackholes to date, but the possibilities are infinite... wrap your mind warp around THAT!

Where are you from?
Raised by wolves, Aspen, CO
Where do you live now?
Los Angeles
How old are you?
Almost 28, but I feel like I'm 12 most of the time
What inspires you?
Just about everything. I’m always really excited- I love this shit. Early mornings, Mondays, light, color, contrast, passion, human emotion, a well dressed gentleman, red lips, the unexpected, the familiar, sub-cultures- packages from my mom, Spongebob tattoos, switchblades, pet-stores, dead animals, open air, Garfield, Whisky, hearing some really loud gangster rap coming out a car really early in the morning…
What are your plans for the future?
The FUUTTUUUUURRRRREEEEEEEEEE
 

AFEW

Art For Empty Walls is an online gallery, that runs much like a real, in person, real life, real talk, life line, real time, bloodline, feel talk gallery- f f f feel me!? It just so happends that they're in the 12th dimension. I have a show up with them this month... stop by for a visit. You don't even have to go anywhere. AFEW is here.
