I stopped by the inaugural show at the newly minted Joshua Liner gallery and checked out the group show they have hanging entitled Locked and Loaded. I dug the show lots of good work and I got turned on to Oliver Vernon whose work I wasn't previously familiar with and who's stuff I really really dug! Besides that the usual suspects were included in this group show but enough of me here's some images of the work:

Marc Dean Veca does Popeye justice!

Oliver Vernons work was sick....A new find for me I have to cop one!

Pat Rocha reminds me of Rene Magritte one of my favorites  Another Pat Rocha

Robert Hardgrave good stuff indeed! He has an upcoming show at the gallery....can't wait

Sean Barber amazing piece

Damon Soule I always dig his stuff  Damon Soule again this piece is really psychedelic to me....  

  David Chong Lee was another new discovery for me....I dug this one

Heidi Tailefer was another new find for me....I like the fact there were some new names in this show..It's good to expand the pool of artist from which the so called low brow world embraces new artists

And last but never least Ron English my personal hero...Ron is political,funny,insightful and just a great painter...My pics don't really do these justice but I'm working on my photo skills really soon I promise!

 Congrats to the Joshua Liner gallery cat's curated a dope show, sorry I didn't post more some of my pics were bogus. I wanted to show the Craola piece and the Futura joint but my flicks weren't up to par my bad like I said I'm working on it. Lots of great art around town this week another reason why New York City is the best place in the world.....Now if I could just stay out for a few these days...........
