Emily Strange Art Show @ Culver City, CA



My old boss - and friend - Buzz Parker is having an art opening this weekend in Culver City, CA. You should go check it out and introduce yourself if you’re in the area. Buzz is the kind soul who introduced me to the excellent Blondie album, Parallel Lines (BitTorrent) and whose comic book character, Emily Strange, looked oddly like the girl who I moved down to fantasy-land in Northern California to be with earlier this year, and who I inadvertently got punched in the face for by a band of juvenile miscreants - an event which I still don’t understand even to this day. In fact, the entire month I spent in Arcata is really just a weird haze in my mind: the point of my life where the sun and moon almost fused (alchemically speaking) and where I almost spun off into the world of dreams for ever. Working for Buzz, in fact, was one of my few havens during that incredibly weird (or should I say “strange”?) time period.

In any event, here’s the show’s press release, and flier. Enjoy! Take er easy, Buzz. Good luck and thanks for everything.

    Oh weird! You worked for her? I used to see her stuff everywhere. For the longest time I thought Emily Strange was the official ‘mascot’/'brand’/'icon’ of my school (Emily Carr art college in Vancouver) because the school store was filled with stuff with her image on it. Then I started seeing her in stores in the states and realized she wasn’t just associated with that school. Anyway, I dig it.
