MACRODONS

It looks like this Macrodon ended up with one bulked up lobster claw, and one skinny, rubbery, alien appendage.

Tonight I saw a pretty good painting show by Dan Perfect at Road Agent. The work is fun, vibrant, energetic, chaotically cohesive, and as visually disparate as those last two descriptors, combining a cartoon aesthetic with a design conscious stream of consciousness abstract expressionism take on urban street art. Just follow the links, and you'll see what I mean.

At The Public Trust, Brent Ozaeta shows acrylic screenprints on canvas and paper, depicting sketchbook-style illustrations, combining various drawing styles in an almost collage fashion. The highlights include a series of printed works crudely sewn together like a quilt, as well as a free standing wall repetitively plastered with posters of the same line drawings and cartoons.
