This Sunday on December 18 the GCS in Pomona is hosting a free in-store performance with 6Blocc, 2Mex, Girl on Girl, Dj Dope-E, Dumbsteppaz, MC Gilead 7, and DJ Wizard! For the first time ever 2Mex and 6Blocc will be performing together! Event starts at 6pm sharp, they both have shows afterwards but this one’s free! (update, show went well.. 6Block x 2Mex didn’t happen though).
Thanks to Jason from To Die For, GCS Santa Ana just received a shipment of Dan Smith’s new art book “With the Light of Truth”. This well printed book is a must have for anyone that collects art books or loves the medium of tattoo art. Withthelightoftruth.tumblr.com describes this book as “a collection of straight edge related tattoos and art and profiles some of the best tattoo artists in the world”. Published by Memento Publishing, this hard cover book contains 248 full color pages with a few blank pages at the end to get those ever so valuable autographs. Dan Smith could have signed it when he was here at our gallery for Tim Shelton’s “Everything Went Black” art show Nov 5th, 2011.
A huge thank you to Persue for giving his time and energy for the event. And to everyone who came out to the signing and release of Persue’s MTN artist series can. You got a great collectible there.
December’s art show brought us Aspeh’s “Within the Core”. This is the third or fourth time that we have had the pleasure of hosting Aseph in our gallery. The crowds were great as usual despite the cold weather. 3rdI, APE, Hurl, and Irene Garcia also displayed newly created pieces in support of the show. The show was predominated by original acrylic paintings, punctuated by Aspeh’s huge centerpiece created on digital media. For more info on Aseph, check out his site www.aspehone.com. Special thanks to Elvis Williams a.k.a. DJ REAL for the great tunes all night long.
The GCS in Pomona will host Persue for a black book signing on Dec. 10, 2011. The event will commemorate the release of his MTN Artist Series can with Montana Paints. This will be a great night as it also coincides with second Saturday artwalk in Downtown Pomona. Event starts at 6pm!!
