Pictures: Speedo and Margarita, and Karim at Sou’Wester residency WA, new triptych 30”x65”
Spring residency at .artist.residency was wonderful and I came out of it with three new songs and a few new friends. I’m just now starting to work on them some more (the songs) to get them ready for my recording session this summer with my friend who played in the Phantom Limbs with me.
I’ve got a couple performances coming up, a comedy show this Saturday at and a music show at a backyard party in July. This Saturday, Speedo and Margarita are hosting the sensational new variety show, Dark Tickle Experience, which will take place at the legendary Hollywood wig emporium, Outfitters Wigs.
ARTWORKS NOW SHOWING:
Valley Rox, Reseda: an assortment of drawings, paintings, and prints
Third House Studios, Van Nuys: monotype Red-Faced Care Center is in the group show Molt.
SOIL, Seattle: wall sculpture (?) Birds and Snakes, a collaboration with my buddy Ben Hirschkoff, who was responsible for hooking me up with my first solo show at this same venue back in 2012.
ARTWORKS CLOSINGS:
The Makery, Los Angeles: new works, Nothing Personal and Chainmail have just left a group showing at this venue.
Lastly, SHUQUEM.COM has been updated with audio links to hear songs that will be on the new record, plus links to the gofundme site to pre-order the record.
Or… if you’ll be happy with just a tee shirt, go to the bandcamp
I just want you to be happy,
L❤️ve, Karim
