shows

I currently have a few small pieces up at Slice Gallery in Denver- come visit at 4318 Tennyson St.
Next week 'Retrostatic' opens in Des Moines IA at Instinct Gallery. I'll have a few different metroid paintings available there.
Next month I'm part of an EPIC show at Double Punch, curated by Mr Ryan De La Hoz. I think its his last show at Double Punch, and its a doozy.
I'll be mailing out 3 pieces for that. Closer to home, I am showing a bit in December in town- friends show at Mod Living(me, Fellows, Huth, the Pruitts) and at a holiday market or two.

This month 303 is putting out an art board with some of my paintings emblazoned on the bottom, and Indy Ink is releasing a new shirt (Fade). Both are a run of 100 available together and seperate. The first 25 packages will come with a limited edition screenprint. Stay tuned for more on this.

Putting out a few new prints this week of paintings from 2009.

R'fuah opens this Friday at Pawn Works 9-10-10

I am writing this in between some last minute set-ups and install building for my only solo show this year- R'fuah. In years past I have also only had one big show a year, but this time around all focus went to this- something thats been somewhat excruciating given my add personality but ultimately rewarding for the level of work and vision on these paintings.
The opening reception is 6-10 on Friday at 1050 N. Damen- hope to see some of my Chicago(and SOUTH BEND) pals.

Heres a few pieces, and a preview of more.

'Puddle Jumper'

'Foliage'
Few bits of recent press below
Studio Visit w Daily DuJour

Thanks so much, hope to see ya there.

Solo- coming hot next month.

Initial press-







Heading off shortly- I'll be in Chicago for the next two weeks building an installation, enjoying some tunes, and maybe painting a mural or three.

Gang! How are ya?
Wanted to share some things happening around the ol Kauff Shoppe-






I had a trip to Los Angeles for the opening of 'I Believe' recently, which was a hilarious and amazing Unicorn themed group show at WWA Gallery.
The show is up for two more weeks, if you're in the area. You can see the work(and Unicorn pictures)HERE.


The trip, though over, was bookended by tacos. So it was quite nice.





Are you possibly in Canada and wondering 'where could I see paintypoos in person?'
The answer is of course, Wallfarmers. Say hey to Tara too!
If you're just a little south, visit Lunar Boy Gallery in Oregon and say hey to Deborah.




I just drew up a new shirt, you can see and even purchase it HERE




There's only larges, smalls and an xsmall left. But new colorways (and print!) coming a bit into July.









This Friday, several pieces will be included in a group show at the New Black Book (formally the Andenken) gallery.
Do come by Denver-ites! Its been about 8 months since I've shown locally.
555 Santa Fe Dr
Denver CO




I also have a nice selection of smaller and slightly older work at Acoustic Music Revivial in Englewood.
We're planning a closing reception the 23rd of July.
3445 S Broadway
Englewood, CO
There will be a print release in conjunction with the closing.





Two weeks ago I started a new fun endeavor: Free Fridays. A way to share my work with new fans and grizzled vets alike.
I gave away a drawing, a print and an origianl painting to some lucky readers who answered a trivia question about skateboarding and hiphop.
There's another drawing next Friday--stay tuned!






Just started carrying products with Artsprojekt-big ups to Rob and Andy for the invite.






Finally, I'm pleased to announce a solo show this September in Chicago.
R'fuah- a renewal of Spirit.
This show looks at the idea of what people hold dear- their beliefs, their sanctuary, their home.
There are hints of falling back to dark times- of degression, possibly of de-evolution.
During tough times, the little things become important. As it's what we hold onto, tighter and tighter, until the storm dissapates.
They bring hope, peace, calm to the storms within.




Sept 10th 8pm Pawn Works Contemporary
1050 N Damen Chicago IL




Thanks as always,


Max
