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.

Gallery Show: Blonde Bombshell 2007

If Egon Schiele Had Painted Nicole Richie will be for sale at M Modern's fabulous Blonde Bombshell art show. Nicole's sexy bones will contrast nicely with all the paintings and photos of curvy blondes you'll find at this annual event. I can't say who, but there will be a very busty blonde celebrity guest in attendance. She lives in Malibu and wears ugg boots, that's all I can reveal. Blonde Bombshell opens January 27th from 7:00 - 10:00pm at the M Modern gallery in Palm Springs.
