David Choe's Choegal



I remember when I bought David Choe's first book a few years ago. I was so excited because when it came in the mail he had drawn all over the envelope! (I'm a big envelope doodler, so I am a sucker when something arrives for me that has been drawn on)
He's come a long way since then, and his new toy is now available (you can get it at Ningyoushi, here).
Choegal is hand painted and limited to only 1,000 pieces. She is entirely wood and comes with 3 interchangeable heads. David Choe will be doing a special LA sigining at GR2 next week, on the 23rd.

The Bliss Express Show


After reading Masrade's post, I am really eager to go see:
The Bliss Express Show
October 7 - October 25

Gallery Nucleus and Guu Press are proud to present The Bliss Express Show, marking the first release of the art book Bliss Express: Illustrating Happiness (December 2006).
In Bliss Express, 21 of today’s most striking pop artists explore the idea of happiness. From Japan and Korea to China, France and North America, they evoke fashion, rock ’n’ roll, nature, graffiti, movies, money, sex and Sunday morning cartoons in tackling a universal question. The author, Althea Chia, says, “Our hope is to have produced a book that just about anyone, art connoisseur or not, would want to pick up from the table and look through, and then, leave, taking something—at least one thing—from it.”
Bringing together short stories, artist quotations, biographies and over 280 images in full color, Bliss Express paints the normalities and absurdities of modern life. It is a reel of snapshots of the artists’ visions and obsessions—their unhinged, funny, heartbreaking journey to that elusive inner state of grace.
The exhibition, characterized by marked pleasure and wrenching aesthetics, will showcase the Bliss Express artists’ evocative works for all to view in the flesh.

Artists:
Aya Kondo, Bengal, David Choe, Emma Sky, Fuco Ueda, Hiroki Mafuyu, Joysuke Wong, Marcos Chin, Nona, Ogi, Ohgushi, Panamaman, Rain, Sasai Icco, Seonna Hong, Stephane Tartelin, Tomo, Wakaba, Yuko Shimizu, Yumiko Kayukawa
