As previously mentioned, Luna Park and I are pleased to be taking part in the show "Stokenphobia" opening this Friday at Pandemic Gallery in Brooklyn. When I stopped by to drop my piece off, I was blown away by the quality of the work that is being featured in this show. Not only are the drawings by Gore B as stellar as one would expect, but many of my favorite artists have turned out some of the best work that I have seen from them in a while. Even better are the prices - whether you are a collector or just an admirer who would like to own a piece from your favorite artist (but had never been able to afford it), shows like this are an excellent opportunity to pick up a smaller work without breaking the bank. I already have dibs on the Deuce Seven boat, but there is plenty more available to choose from...or just come out and enjoy what is bound to be yet another memorable night at the always fun Pandemic Gallery!

Recent ex-New Yorker and all-around renaissance man Over Under (aka Erik Burke) needs your help to get his next venture rolling!
I first came across Erik's work via his Small Worlds project in the summer of 2008:
I had the pleasure of meeting him shortly thereafter, when he helped Broken Crow complete a large mural in Bushwick:
What never ceases to amaze me are the sheer number of projects Erik juggles at once. While completing his MFA in Design and Technology at Parsons last year, he found time to collaborate with New York based and visiting artists as well as install a faux memorial plaque on the legendary Writers Bench and code a tribute to the golden days of NYC subway graffiti.
For an exhibition at MOHS in Copenhagen this spring, Erik and Canadian artist Other plan on cycling across Europe, gathering material and inspiration for the show along the way. To that end, they are trying to raise $2,000 to cover "travel expenses related to sustenance, survival, and the creation of work". You can read about their plans and donate here. I've already put my money where my mouth is and I encourage you to do the same. Not only are you supporting a good cause, but you're also helping two genuinely talented artists make their marks.
Our good friend Chris from Robots Will Kill has a print available - for a very reasonable $45 - starting today via Abztract. Get your 18x24" print now before the edition of 50 is sold out.
Becki and I excited to have pieces in this show! Come check it out this Friday night.

This weekend, NYC street artist and painter extraordinaire Cake will be a featured artist in the show "Convergence" at The Marketplace Gallery in Albany. Cake will have a 15 foot installation inside as well as an outdoor pasting spot. The show opens on Friday at 5:30pm and will run until 10:30 on Sunday night. That's three days only, so make sure to gas up your car, buy your Amtrak ticket, or hop on a bus to come out and support our girl (as well as a recently reopened and much beloved gallery!).
For more information on this artist, check out Luna Park's studio visit from this past November or Cake's Flickr page.
The above comes by way of my buddy Billi Kid, who is judging entries in the Heavyweight Artist contest together with 14Bolt and Zoltron. Submit your designs by the end of March for a shot at having them printed on apparel and stickers as well as participating in a NYC show. Details at http://www.flickr.com/groups/heavyweightartist.
You are also invited to submit artwork for the 5th annual Papergirl project in Berlin. Like all good things, the idea is simple: rolls of artwork are distributed to random passersby by roving teams of bicyclists. You've got until May, but don't snooze on this. Details at http://www.papergirl-berlin.de/.
