Show runs from June 29 thru August 06, 2011.

For those unfamiliar with the show, it features all manner of printed works – silk, litho, woodblock, etc.

ミスフィツ中心のグループ展に参加します。６月４日＠ホープギャラリー（Connecticut州、USA）彫師たち何人がミスフィツの曲を題にして、オリジナルな絵を描きました。僕の曲は「WHO KILLED MARILYN」（マリリンを殺したのは誰だ？）になりました。あまりミスフィの名曲じゃないけど、とりあえず！
We Are 138: A Tribute to the Misfits kicks off June 4th, 2011 at the Hope Gallery. Tattooists each took a Misfits song and turned it into a 7″ record size piece of art! Naturally, Astro Zombies and One Last Caress were snapped up toot sweet, so my song ended up being “Who killed Marilyn!”

Unfortunately I won’t be there in person, but if you’re in CT, USA next month, slick down your devil locks, swing in and check it out – The how kicks off at 7PM!

SIGH GRAPHIX(名古屋)のSHIGEさんはアメ村のブルーストーンにて２週間ぐらい展示を行っています。
オープンは昨日でしたがまだまだ時間があります。是非、チェックしてください！
彼の絵はめっちゃやばいキュービズム（立体派）、点描の味が出ています！
好きな絵は以下にリンクされています！

Graffiti/Graphix artist Shige (Sigh Graphix in Nagoya) is having a 2 week show at Blue Stone in Amemura!
The opening was yesterday, but if you have time to check it you definitely should!
His fetish for Cubism and dots leaves the walls a drippin’! Check it out! A couple of my favs below!

Just a postcard – the orginal is part of a series on canvas. Ink and Spray!

30日にミッチ・オコンネルさんのギャラチーが終了しました！見に来てくれた人、STANDARDさんのスタフの皆さん、本当にありがとうございました！ミッチさんは無事に帰国して、個人のブログに大阪の印象を大分書き込んだみたいです！
Mitch O’ Connell‘s gallery show at the Standard in Shinsaibashi finally wound down last night! It was a pleasure featuring his work here in Osaka and having his gracious participation in Bakuto Osaka 2010. Senor O’Connell was kind enough to share a few of his photos and thoughts on his Osaka trip over at his blog!

オープニングパーティのサイン会前のミッチさん。
Mitch in his natural element – doing meet n’ greet at the show opening night.

個人的に展示の中に一番気に入っている作品！
My favorite print from the show! Faster Pussycat!

ミッチさんはバクトでライブペイントが終わったら、タトゥーコンテストの審判して下さって助かりました！！
Mitch was also kind enough to follow up his live drawing services by serving as a judge for Bakuto 2010′s Tattoo Contest.

ミッチさん、ありがとうございました！また大阪で会おう！
Thanks again Mitch! Hope to see you back in O-Town!!
