If you are window shopping out in Avondale ya might just catch a glimpse of my work in the front window at Avondale Artworks. The artist reception last week was great and we had a really good turn out for the show. Met some new people, made some new friends, and networked a plenty. If you havent been to Avondale Artworks ya really need to check out the work in the gallery. Heres a few pics, compliments of my sister Rachel Gray. Next artist reception will be December 4th! Ill also be doing a live painting during the Christmas in Avondale celebration. Hope to see you there and thanks to all who have come out so far… and BIG thanks to those who have purchased some of my work. Thanks-BG.

SOLD @ Avondale Artworks

1finding-happiness

Just made my first sale out at my new home gallery out at Avondale Artworks. This piece sold on Saturday right after I dropped off a new batch of paintings to the gallery. Im now featured in the front window of the gallery and according to Ken( the president of the gallery) the response has been insane. Lots of people who are maybe not so familiar with me or my work are dropping by every day to see what Im all about. Very good news! Its stuff like this that really motivate me to keep pushing forward. During this month I plan on busting some butt to have all new work for the gallery for December’s artist reception on the first friday of the month. Speaking of which, Avondale Artworks will have an artist reception for all the artists involved with the gallery every first Friday of each month…so, Ill be out at the gallery on this Friday 11/5 from 6-9 if ya wanna hang out or just meet me for the first time. Avondale Artworks is a great gallery and Ken is super awesome and I appreciate him giving me a shot. -Ill post a pic up real soon of a brand new piece I just did for the gallery( my pc at home is down, should be working tonight).- Peace.-BG

Jeremy & The Woopie Cushion

4040114339_d45f973934

Yep, thats my boy. Me and my son, Jeremy, decided to make that final choice for his Halloween costume last week. He really loved the woopie coushin weeks ago but, it thought his love for the costume would fade as I tried to convince him to be Batman, Robin, GI JOE, or possibly a ninja. After much debate and dozens of costume browsing later- He wanted the woopie coushin. After he tried it on and walked out of the fitting room he laughed his butt off after catching a glimpse of himself in the mirror. So, the woopie coushin it is. To top it off, I get a call from my wife’s aunt yesterday. To much her excitement she has an adult woopie cousin costume that she wore last year to a Halloween party. So, I guess I too will be going as a woopie coushin while trick-r-treating with Jeremy. Life is grand.

JUXTAPOz2

Well to say I all most crapped myself this morning would be an under statement. Low and behold Im surfing the usual art sites…and as I stop by Juxtapoz Magazines web site at Juxtapoz.com and swung by the Reader Art section and damn my eyes, Im on top of the page in the Reader Art section. I about back flipped out of my chair. I have been inspired by the art works contained in Juxtapoz over the past four years. Hell, they really got me motivated to create art work in the first place. I remember picking up my first few issues and thinking… if these guys can do this, so can I, and I never looked back. This had totally made my day to receive recognition from the people at Juxtapoz who in my opinion, are the leaders of the lowbrow art movement. Juxtapoz has helped so many underground and under apreciated artists get some much needed exposure to the masses and I think its great to be a part of something as big as Juxtapoz in any way. Thanks Juxtapoz!!!

Ive been Sick…

Hello everyone! Ive been pretty sick( on and off ) for the past few weeks. Here is the deal. basically I really need to start worrying more about my health and worry less about artists, Jacksonvilles art scene, my art work, deadlines, and the random bullshit that comes along with being an artist. Not to mention I need less stress in my life, more sleep, exercise, and god knows I need to eat better. So, where am I going with all this? About a month ago I went into see my doc for a random sick feeling I had. I seemed to be ok except for a sinus problem and some elevated blood pressure. The doc was kind of concerned about my pressure and wanted me to check it again at a fire station whenever I get the chance. So about 2 weeks late I go into the fire Continue reading ‘Ive been Sick…’

Octobunnypus- New painting

octobunnypuss-sm-web

Heres a snazzy pic of the piece I did for the “Totem if ya Got Em” show that went down at Bogda Gallery this past weekend. Im going to have prints available by the end of the week. The painting is 9×12, acrylic, on gallery wrapped canvas. It’s still up for sale for just $100.00 at Bogda. If anyone is interested in making a purchase just drop me a line and we can arrange something. The show was a great success and I gotta hand it to my man Jack Diablo for organizing a great show and a good time had by all. Thanks to Joy at Bogda for letting us artists use the gallery to host these shows. We couldnt do these shows without her! Hollah!-B Gray
