Camille Rose Garcia Announces a Ridiculously Fun Contest!

  • by

Better than finding the marble in the oatmeal on Stanley Spudowski’s clubhouse, Camille Rose Garcia says she is “announcing a ridiculously fun contest”  We know Camille has lots of fellow fans out there so watch her site because every Friday, she will be adding new items for the masses. From her blog, we can anticipate seeing new prints, dolls, card sets, and items from her personal stash.  Now the scoop on the contest says that anyone who places an order until Dec. 15th, is entered into a raffle to win three awesome prizes.

Now for the good stuff!

1st prize winner gets a hand-painted Peppermint Man doll customized with the winner’s name.
2nd prize winner gets a “Doomsday Animals” print set by Pressure Printing.
3rd prize winner gets a surprise it seems.

 

Travis Lampe Teases ‘Topplers’ for New Blood @ Thinkspace Gallery 4.28

  • by

Opening this weekend at Thinkspace Gallery is a rather brilliant exhibition called New Blood, a group show curated by filmmaker and avid art collector Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me, 30 Days). Now, the premise behind it is quite ingenious: wrangle a dozen of the art scene’s most celebrated and established artists and pair them with an emerging artist (of their choosing) who carries on in their tradition in some aspect. How does this tie into CP land? Our own Travis Lampe was hand-plucked by the great femme of the fantastical, Camille Rose Garcia.

“In our case the pairing has much to do with noodly arms and booze, I think,” Travis writes. “Regardless, I’m super pleased and honored to be picked for this by Camille. I’ve always idolized her for her crazy, crazy art, of course, but I finally got to meet her last year and guess what? She’s also super nice and fun to hang out with. She agrees that animals look best in hats, and that goes a long way with me.”

Posted above is a detail shot of Travis’ painting, ‘Topplers’, a 16 x 20″ acrylic on wood panel. Noodle limbs FTW!

Other pairings in the show include: The Date Farmers & Albert Reyes, Dzine & Jesus Bubu Negron, Elizabeth McGrath & Morgan Slade, Gary Baseman & Jesse Dickenson, Gary Taxali & Adrian Forrow, Jonathan Yeo & Charlie Gouldsborough, Mark Jenkins & Sandra Fernandez, Nicola Verlato & Marco Mazzoni, Ron English & Kid Zoom, Saber & ZES, Shepard Fairey & Nicholas Bowers and Tim Biskup & Patrick Hruby.

New Blood opens Saturday, April 28th through May 19th. An opening reception with many of the artists will be held Saturday from 5pm to 8pm.
