Scion presents: Ed Emberley & Friends
July 17 - August 7, 2010
Ed Emberley's legendary drawing books inspired a generation of kids to become artists. In this show, Ed Emberley displays his original 1970's mockups alongside five grown-up artists who were influenced by him.
Curated by Caleb Neelon, the exhibition features Ed Emberley as well as five artists who were inspired by him. The artists include Raul Gonzalez, Seonna Hong, Matt Leines, Christopher Kline and Saelee Oh.
For "Ed Emberley & Friends," each artist will create a six-foot-by-six-foot wood panel that is a mash-up of their own style and that of Ed Emberley's instructional drawing books. The tribute paintings will be exhibited alongside examples of each artist's individual work. After the show, each of the large painted panels will be donated for long-term display in children's hospitals around the United States.
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 17, 2010 | 7-10pm

Wow! I am so impressed with the lineup in the Uncommon Artist Series! They've got work by Allison Cole, Saelee Oh, Tado, Candybird, Jeremyfish, Jill Bliss, Sam Flores, and tons more. The site is beautifully run- you can choose your image and then resize to fit your iphone case the way you like best. They'll have ipad covers coming soon too.
Saelee Oh & Eric Nakamura
I love paper cutouts, and I love stop motion, so I was really into the aesthetic of this little animation by Saelee Oh and Eric Nakamura (of Giant Robot). Its a feature for Scions Installation 6 video, and you can see a quick snippet of it in the promo video below.

New Saelee Oh print : Sensualité Féminine
Tiny Showcase has a new letterpress print by Saelee Oh for only $10! You can even get it framed for only $60 more. It's an edition of 500- and you know the prints on Tiny Showcase sell out fast, so you better hurry!
Saelee Oh & Jill Bliss : Gathered Together
Saelee Oh and Jill Bliss released a gorgeous monthly calendar last year, and I'm excited to see that they have just released one for 2009! It's done in 3D diorama style- just like those super fun school projects from when you were a kid (I really loved those...)
Saelee also has a new blog, here, and is the cover artist for the newest issue of Giant Robot, yay!
Saelee Oh : Tangled Tales
The ever lovely LA based artist Saeleee Oh has a show opening this weekend in Los Angeles. Entitled "Tangled Tales", the show will be held at TinLark Gallery. I'm a big fan of Salee's, and I own several pieces of her work. Her work is really beautiful and intimate in person, especially the pieces with the paper cut-outs and sewing mixed in.
Hidden Habitats : Now Online!
I completely blanked and forgot to post about the Hidden Habitats opening- Saelee Oh and Jill Bliss' show over at GR2. Luckily, there is still some gorgeous work available, and the show is all up online, here.
There are pieces just by Saelee, just by Jill, and some collaborative pieces as well.
Giant Robot Biennale
Tons of congrats to Giant Robot for 50 issues! I am a huge GR fan, and I frequent the store and amazing art shows quite often. This weekend is their big Biennale celebration at the Japanese American Museum in Little Tokyo. The show features the works of some of my favorites, including Apak, Souther Salazar, Saelee Oh, David Choe, and more.
Here's to another 50 issues!
Embroidery & Stitching in Art
I (attempt) to sew, so when artists mix textiles, embroidery, and quilting into their work, I'm always drawn to it. I love the way it evokes nostalgia, yet it can still be something that looks quite new and modern. Caroline Hwang is, of course, one of my favorites, and so is Saelee Oh. (Saelee has a new print available in her online shop, Lemonade Maid.) I just discovered Katie Henry, (image above) on the Free People Blog, and her work is incredible as well. Megan Whitmarsh does amazing embroidery work, I love her Yetis!

My Favorite Mirror
My apologies for the lack of posting. I released my new Decorama line of vinyl wall art this weekend at CaBoom 4, and almost killed myself stressing out over it in the meantime. ANYWAY... I think it's about time you bought a new pocket mirror, or a new mousepad from the folks over at My Favorite Mirror. Amazing stuff done by oddles of wonderful artists, and it's all so affordable you'll wish you needed 12 mousepads!
