The Artwork of Daryll Peirce

Golden Age - New Puppy Gallery, Los Angeles

I'll be heading down to LA this Friday the 13th in support of friends Dabs and Myla for their ambitious 1st ever American exhibition and corresponding exhibit of which I will have a few pieces.

For the show, Dabs and Myla will be premiering a series of new works that they have been working on over the last 5 months. The pair recently relocated to LA, and their new body reflects this transition. There will also be an exclusive curated group show including Greg Craola Simkins, Luke Cheuh, Jersey Joe Rime, The Witnes, Persue, Logan Hicks, Paul Chatem,Sergio Hernandez, Cat Cult, Anne Faith Nicholls, Jacob Arden McClure, Honkey Kong,Peekaboo Monster, Daryll Peirce, Peat Wollaeger, L Croskey, Asylm, Buff Monster, Evan McEneaney, Jorge Macswiney, Sara Antoinette, Jeremiah Garcia, Josh Hart, Phil Lumbang, with a live performance by Cosio and The Ice Cream Man, who I got to know at last year's Art Basel, will be there slinging free cream!

The exhibit opens this Friday, November 13th from 8-11pm at New Puppy Gallery (map) and will be up through November 22nd.

New Stickers

Got some new stickers made. If you'd like some while I got 'em, just send me your address.

Recently I was invited to be a part of Andy Howell's Artsprojekt.com, which is essentially a curated online marketplace featuring work and goods of artists such as Howell, Alex Pardee, Caia Koopman and Chris Ryniak. So far I have some skateboard decks, a black and white coffee mug set, posters, shirts and a tote bag design based on my original tote created for Open Space's benefit show. Have a look at it all here.

Also, here's some current coupon codes I found for the site good through the end of 2009: 10% Off T-Shirts - "10OffTShirts" 10% off Mugs - "10SaleOnMugs"

This platform wouldn't be possible without the most incredible crew of product developers and engineers I have ever worked with, the Zazzle team. My vision of creating the premier youth-centric art, music, pop culture, and action sports on-demand retail platform was made possible by this team and their technology. By fusing the culturally relevant ARTSPROJEKT vision with Zazzle's unmatched on-demand retail platform, engineering, product development, and e-commerce expertise, we've created a powerful ARTSPROJEKT experience that is unlike anything ever done before.

I welcome you to ARTSPROJEKT, and hope you enjoy.

Thanks all of you who share the vision!

Our new neighbor's like salads and we have a ramp in our backyard = 1st annual West Oakland Salad Competition/Ramp Jam.

Jeff organized it and made a killer salad.

Tadashi's pancake salad didn't win.

The Kamikaze made the session.

Ben won the contest and I think got a board and some shirts for it. Weird idea gone right.

Made it back out to NY for a show upstate in Beacon and to paint for a large-scale project to be unveiled in about a year.

First stop was Willoughby Windows. Put together by the folks of Ad Hoc who managed to acquire usage of these abandoned store fronts and hand 'em over to the seasoned Brooklyn-based artists Cannonball Press, Chris Stain, Cycle, Dennis McNett, Ellis G,
Gaia, Greg Lamarche, John Ahearn, Josh MacPhee, Lady Pink, Logan Hicks, Michael De Feo, Morning Breath, and Tom Beale.

Here's two close-ups of Dennis McNett's window. The glare on the windows while I was there was terrible. For much better photos and coverage of the work, check out Ad Hoc's and Arrested Motion's coverage.

The Willoughby after party was on top of a building close-by. Free beer in New York is always my favorite kind of beer. It's like making $9 a pop. Quick reunion with Logan and Arvay and we got straight to business.

Alison and Garrison of Ad Hoc are always good company. They have some really exciting upcoming plans. Looking forward to seeing how everything develops.
