I’m pleased to announce that I will have a solo show at Geeks, a rad comic/action figure/role playing shop in Uptown Whittier, on August 1st. Mark your calendars! What can you expect to see at Geeks on August 1st? A bunch of new pieces (plus a couple of older ones…maybe), the second installment in the limited edition ERICVALDEZART.COM button pack series (series 1 packs are currently available at Raggedy Threads in Downtown L.A., Casita del Pueblo in Uptown Whittier or from me when I get the webstore up and running), new prints and some surprises.

Lastly, big thanks to those who came out for shows at Five Stars Bar and Casita del Pueblo this past week. The After Walk party at Five Stars that the Hear Gallery put on was incredibly fun and most of the funness  was due to the music of James Yuill, a U.K. “electrofolk” musician. If you dig dancy electro stuff and Postal Service then do yourself a favor and check this guy out. Seriously!

LAIST.COM has a great interview with James. Peep that shit.

The Masquerade Ball was crazy! The Hear Gallery crew always puts on great events. Speaking of The Hear Gallery and their great events, I’m going to be involved in something else that they’re putting together. Peep the info below.
