Just Britney Art Show - September 28 * Hollywood

The Just Britney art show is opening on September 28th at the WOW Report's storefront gallery located in Hollywood. Curated by Steven Corfe and Thairin Smothers, the show will feature Britney Spears-inspired work from over 30 artists. I'll have two small paintings in the show (above), but they'll go unnoticed due to the presence of the famed "Leave Britney Alone!" YouTube sensation, Chris Crocker. Not only will he be attending the opening, he'll be contributing his art! That's right, if you get to the show as they open the doors, you just might get the chance to purchase this self-portrait photo of the lovely Mr. Crocker posing seductively on top of his Britney Spears memorabillia collection. Other works include a portrait of Britney done in chewed bubble gum(!) by artist Jason Kronenwald and the famous "Snake Charmer" painting by Jamie Boling. The two week show opens at the World of Wonder Art Gallery, 6650 Hollywood Blvd, on September 28 at 8:00pm and goes until midnight.

so crocker's contribution to the "just britney" art show is... a self-portrait photo.

the culture of celebrity is more fucked-up than i thought.

(as always, 14, love your stuff--i'm happy to see the pantyless pinocchioed britney painting again!)

[Katie V.]

$1000 for the Crocker photo? What a crock...They should have gone with more of 14's work instead. How did they narrow it down to just those two, I wonder?

[Knox Bronson]

And who says there is no culture in la-la land?

an all britney show ... well, 14, in some way, i'm sure gota was the inspiration for the show!

love the ones you selected for the show ... it's always amazing how you hit the perfect note: the mix of humor, satire, disbelief, and love.

which is why you are in a league by yourself.

Dang, I did a Britney piece and they didn't ask me, can I pout now?

Your Brits are fantastic, Ms 14. I love the way you get her skin texture to glow from within yet still be pimply on top. Genius!!!

[RF]

So it's official - the apocalypse is nigh.

[langtry]

That Chris Crocker is a case study in Gender Dysmorphia.

[TheReallyJamesBond]

WOW. A mildly humorous, but cheesy/act video. An appearence on A major(?) late- night TV show. Multiple site hits. Nude photos online. Your own TV show deal,... AND a gallery showing? All for that?

I totally concur with what Randell said about the state of the culture of celebrity!(But, I gotta admit, I kinda knew that already). Don't make it any better, though.I still believe talent will still ultimatly win out. That's you 14!

[Viper Tetsu]

Sounds like fabulosity, and congrats on yet more exposure, Rock Star(let)!

Someone needs to do a sculpture of La Tarte du Pop in a Plaster-of-Paris paste composed of pulverized Cheetos and Red Bull.

[just wonderin]

In my world Chris Cracker doesn't exist. If he exists in another world it must be the one filled with the people who thought Britney actually had a talent at one point, and has now "lost" it. It might be the world that Paris Hilton can influence to help "the poor kids" just by going to Africa. I like my world better, it has 14 in it, creating treasures! Thank you 14!!

[Chansmom]

Oh my, Chris Crocker's 15 minutes have started!

Way to go, 14! Now, you have talent.

[Demon Kitty]

I have no comment about chris cocker.

[parissucksliterally]

I wish you had submitted your 'Photoshop in a Can' for Britney.....that was my favorite, and it DESERVES to be showcased!
You are unbelievably talented!

[14]

parissucksliterally,

Thank you for your kind words, I needed them today.

I wanted to submit the Photoshop in a Can piece for this show, but I went all Pygmalion on it and can't part with it right now. I'm going through a massive art crisis and Photoshop in a Can is my beacon in the night at the moment. Soon, I shall release attachment to it and perhaps someone will be crazy enough to buy it.

xoxo

Oh, you know what would be cool for the photoshoppers here, if you did your own "filters" results using celebs as before-after (totally different from chopping off pounds, readers...).

[ladeedah]

I love your paintings, and it's a shame they should be outshined by a myspace photo of a guy who is known for crying. You should bring your Chris Crocker painting and show it to him! I bet that would make his day, because who wouldn't want to be painted by 14?

[Erick]

Somehow I get the feeling that my artwork and the artwork of other admirable artists on display at tomorrow night's show will go unnoticed, since everyone in attendance will undoubtedly be kissing Chris Crocker's ass, while oogling his "artwork."

[Steve]

WOW! Congratulations 14! You have hit the big time. Do you think Crock-o-**** will invite you on his upcoming TV show?

I thought the NBC deal was great, but showing your art in the same gallery as cry-baby Chris--well that put's the cherry on the cake, doesn't it.

Why don't you sculpt bubblegum?

I have an old sheet of used bubble-wrap and I call it Brittney because it used to pop but it doesn't anymore. Can I enter it next to the gum scupture? Maybe Chris Crocker will lay on it and take a picture of himself.

Enough of him. Exposure is good and I am happy for you.

I love your cheetos paintings. I think you give B.S. her last hope at stardom.

[midevil]

Erick,

Chris who? Already forgot about him, man!

[just wonderin]

Yeah Erick, be very afraid, that Cracker Kid is such a scary talent.

[x0]

crockers 'art'?? hahahahahaha

totally agree with post #1

[Demon Kitty]

14, you have so much more going for you than this current "Bobby Trendy".

Only Rue Paul can pull off the screaming queen thang with class. The rest of those bitches can go to hell. Shitney should be memorialized in front of the nastiest public bathroom.

[Susyq00]

I would VERY MUCH like to see photos from this event!!!!

[CandelLife]

Perez Hilton and others have posted videos from the opening, including the overweight girl dancing (was supposed to be a guy??) to "Gimmee More" and the whole show is just to poke fun at britney... with Chris Crocker there... so did he know that was what it was when he went? Wow, some fan... yet another lie.

[Tuure Toivikko]

he he, cool!
