There are lots of Art Shows this Friday at the Downtown Fullerton Art Walk!

This Friday, February 6th is the Downtown Fulleton Art Walk, a FREE multi-venue art experience in Downtown Fullerton.  Here are some of the shows you can check out:

Hibbleton Gallery presents an exhibit entitled "Orphaned Constellations," which is related to a feature documentary film Steve Elkins has been directing for several years. Elkins' film deals with various aspects of the lives of scientists and monks that happen to relate intimately to the work of artists. In this collaborative exhibition, a variety of artists have submitted expressions of how the themes of Steve's film relate to their own creative process, their personal lives, their dreams.


BOOKMACHINE books + zines presents the release of my latest zine, entitled "Job." I have taken the ancient poem "Job" from the Bible and put it into modern language and slang. Accompanying the text will be reproductions of etchings and watercolors by the 19th century Romanic poet/artist William Blake, who published his own illustrated version of Job in the year 1826. 


Be sure to stop by Max Bloom's Cafe Noir, one of the coolest coffee shops in Fullerton that is also now its newest art gallery. My friend Baxter has transformed this 1940s-themed coffee shop into a premier art venue. The debut show, “QUATRE MEILLURES: OC Weekly’s Best Artists" features four of the best visual artists in Orange County, literally. The four artists featured in the show have won the OC Weekly “Best Visual Artist” award. The artists are: Valerie Lewis, Russ Pope, John Sollom, and Kebe Fox!

Also at the Magoski Arts Colony join us for an evening beneath, amongst and inside the sea and stars together as artists/creators.The mystery of what we know to be but cannot see reveals itself when we close our eyes and open our hearts.

Their goal is to bring you good designs made by great causes that tell amazing stories of hope from around the world.
