Gallery of the Absurd will be showing a collection of original paintings and prints at the DVA Gallery in Chicago. "Alter Ego: Sordid Celebrity Gossip and Impossible Botanical Curiousities" showcases the gossip-inspired work of 14 along with the unusual botanical paintings of Aaron Norlan (14's studio mate). The show opens on August 25 and runs through mid-September. Some of 14's original paintings availabe for sale include "What If..", "If Lautrec Had Painted Keira Knightley", "The Disturbingly Cute Little Forest Mushroom", "Happy Monkeys Swinging in a Money Tree", "I Love Me", "If Schiele Had Painted Nicole Richie" and more. Contact the DVA Gallery for details. Below is an example from Aaron's collection of paintings.
Please get well soon, not so much because I want to meet you, but because no one should have to suffer from pneumonia. Pure misery. I hope you feel better!
