NotesWe’re featuring Cow & Cheetah and Pope Leo X in our second installment of the Socio Network at The Alternative Cafe. Adam Batchelor is a talented young artist (he’s my age, born in 1988), and his skill is so incredible I want to shake his hand until it bleeds. What I enjoy about his work is that you can look at it from every angle and every distance and love what you see. Every bristle on the elephant’s skin, every wrinkle and hair on the cow is perfect. It’s almost too good. If I wasn’t so busy working I’d be blind with envy.

Portland based artist Natalie Philips works with her partner Gabriel Decker to make multi dimensional pieces for display in galleries all across the West coast. These are three skulls from a wood cut out series that Gabe and Natalie are perfecting as signatures of their talents and styles. We at The Alternative Cafe are housing the middle skull, Rosa, for our Socio Network show, which ends February 2012.

NotesWe run a pretty dangerous show here at The Alternative Cafe. Consequently, I was maimed by art today, good god. It seems appropriate that it was Robby Day’s Untitled, featuring the most serene depiction of seppuku I’ve yet to see. Join us on January Friday the 13th (!!!!!!) for the rest of Robby’s dangerous artwork and some great international artists at the opening of our second installation of Socio Network. <3 Ripley, Gallery Assistant/Corn Dog Wrangler
