New works by Crash
This new group of paintings for my series, "Remnant Memories", comes from my leaning on my early paintings on the subways for inspiration for my paintings on canvas through out my career.

The subways bring a rush of memories to mind, every time I see a photograph of that period and I felt a desire of honoring that time in my life.

The aluminum pieces were built and cutout by my friend, Metal Man Ed for this specific concept. I am also showing a group watercolors and silkscreen as part of the exhibition that are a tribute to my time on the subways...

The Sexy Nerd Party: Page Turner Kick-Off Benefit

Beerlao will be here to get sexy nerds drunk! Hosted by the Asian American Writers Workshop, we're happy to lubricate any sticky fingers at this fundraiser for the Page Turner event series happening this weekend.

From the Asian American Writers workshop site:

Featuring drinks, music, dancing and guest appearances by Tao Lin, Richard Price, Lorraine Adams, Nami Mun, Karan Mahajan, and others.
Saturday, November 6, 8-11pm
Chambers Fine Arts, 522 West 19th Street, NY, NY
$40 entry / $60 for two

Sorry, pal. If you're a writer or if you're Asian American, odds are you were once a nerd. Don't be ashamed--you're all grown-up now and besides, thanks to Andre 3000, Tina Fey, and Google, nerd chic is in. So, throw on your most festive attire and stumble over to the swankiest Asian Art gallery in New York, where we'll have drinks and dancing. You can support your favorite nonprofit by gazing shyly at the cute red-haired girl across the room, getting drunk in the presence of writers like Tao Lin, Richard Price, Lorraine Adams, Nami Mun, and Karan Mahajan, and dance awkwardly in the corner with your favorite sexy nerd. Featuring jazz legend Fred Ho as musical guest. You bring the sexy, we'll bring the nerd. Admission comes with free sexy nerd glasses.

Trading cards with Beerlao...

This Friday we’ll be sucking down Beerlao’s with
the Sucklord celebrating the release of the Suckpax 2 trading card series. From
the Suckadelic website:

The Second Avenue Trading Card convention is a new yearly event showcasing the ongoing releases from the new urban art trading card scene. This year's featured event is the long awaited drop of SUCKPAX 2, The ILLEST card set ever devised from the mind of the SUPER SUCKLORD and SIDEKICK LAB. Suckpax features the Old-School wax wrappers of yore as well as that shitty card stock we all grew up on before trading cards got slick. Boxes include: original one-of-kind sketch cards and multiple high-concept special inserts. Suckpax is truly Modern art in Vintage packaging.

If you’re wondering what all that is going to look
like, check out Sidekick Lab and see them
gearing up for the big release. Then go down to Toy Tokyo this Friday to get a
pack or two…and a Beerlao
while they last!
