Thanks to Art Share LA, you can see a larger than life print of my Former Child Star Tangle at the Arts District Brewing Co. in downtown Los Angeles. Sitting by it with some cold brew, look at it a while and see what pops out! I’m not sure how long it’ll be up, so catch it while you can.
The opening of Bury the Lead at Art Share LA was fantastic. The show featured an eclectic and excellent group of artists, and I’m proud to be one of them. Thank you to everyone who came, including my parents (who came all the way from Michigan!), and thank you to everyone at Art Share. It was a great night.
I’m happy to announce five of my paintings from Tangles: The Secret Lives are going to be in the Bury the Lead show at Art Share LA.

Here’s a sneak peek at my Annie Hall Tangle that’ll be in the show. Hope to see you at the opening!
I’m a huge fan of the TV show Freaks and Geeks, so I jumped at the chance to immortalize it in a Tangle. I have been anxiously awaiting the opening of this show, and it did not disappoint! This was the first art event I’ve been involved in that actually had a line — a long line — to get in. I’m thrilled to have been a part of it, and to have sold my painting… to none other than Mr. Apatow himself! A huge thanks to him, Gallery 1988, my friends who came out, and everyone else who is always so supportive of my art and activities… Does it sound like I’m accepting an award? Maybe I should skip ahead to some photos from the night!

I have agreed to create original work for several upcoming shows at Gallery 1988 in Hollywood. They’re not for a while (so more information will be coming later), but they’ve been having a lot of fun, pop culture-themed shows, and I’m excited to be involved.
This holiday season, get the art lover in your life something special. Are you the art lover? Now is a good time to treat yourself! I’m going to have screen prints and drawings available in the Holiday Salon in the L.A. arts district. Entertainment and refreshments will be there too, so a good time is practically guaranteed. See you there!

About Icons & Tangles: Icons & Tangles deliver a vibrant perspective of fame — from visionaries to celebrities. Andy’s Icons are portraits of exceptional individuals that made resounding impressions on him, reduced to the pure geometry of vividly colored discs on canvas. Carrie’s Tangles consist of outlined masses of celebrities, overlapping and intersecting, forming a frenzied labyrinth of people that maybe aren’t so exceptional after all. Together, Icons & Tangles pull you and push you through a galaxy of stars, both luminous and lackluster.

It has taken me a while to come to terms with it, but I’m ready to proclaim my love for the fair city of Los Angeles. What better way than with a painting, Large Grass Tangle, in I Heart L.A. at Monkey House in Silverlake? The opening reception is January 24, from 5 to 9 pm. 1618 Silverlake Blvd. 90026. Are you ready to confess your feelings for her?
It’s November. It’s time for art shows. I’ll have work in:
1. Re-Discovery Tour: The 16th Annual Showcase of Artists’ Homes and Studios.
Kelly Thompson’s house and studio is once again transforming into a gallery for one day only, and some small Tangles will be there for the occasion.

Presented by the Arroyo Arts Collective
Tour begins at Lummis Home, 200 E. Ave. 43, Highland Park, 90042

For one night only, my large Black and White Tangle will be hanging in the Old Firehouse in downtown Los Angeles. Now this isn’t just any old firehouse… it’s the old firehouse that had its moment of fame in Ghostbusters! It is a really charming place, but insists on no autographs. So come enjoy the art and ambiance, and leave your 8×10 and sharpie at home!
Thursday, October 8. 8 pm through midnight.
Due to unusual circumstances, contact me for the address and codeword for entry!
I have never considered myself a Mariah Carey fan. I have nothing against her, I’m just not a fan. But when a Tangle painting artist hears the siren song of “Mariah Carey themed art wanted” it’s just irresistible. So I pulled out the paints, and created a glorious 40 x 40″ Mariah Carey Tangle, to be featured at a private MC themed party! The undoubtedly splendid event took place June 21 at MJ Higgins Gallery in downtown Los Angeles. If you couldn’t hit the high notes, you weren’t getting in… and that includes this artist!
So this show is called “Bustin’ Out.” While I’m not crazy about that title, it’s at Rock Rose Gallery. I like rocks, and I like roses… so why not? The concept of the event is for all of the artists to create something totally different from their usual. What will I have? Think 3D, but other than that, you’re going to have to come see for yourself!

I had a Tangle in the Friends of Mt. Washington Elementary School Silent Auction extravaganza. It sold and raised money for a great cause: art programs and teaching assistants for this public school. I’m a big believer in public schools and art education, so I was very happy to help out. It was a fun night too, thanks guys! (below: the featured Tangle; patron leaving with Tangle in hand.)
It took me a while to accept it, but this Michigander really does love L.A., and I’ll have a painting in the show I Heart L.A. to prove it. It’s at Monkey House in Silverlake, and the opening reception is January 24, 2008, 5 to 9 pm. It’s about time you come to terms with your affection for the fair city too, so come on out to enjoy it immortalized in art.
Fellow artist Kelly Thompson is turning her house into a gallery as part of the 15th Annual Discovery Tour (a self-guided tour of artists’ homes and studios in Highland Park, Eagle Rock & Mount Washington), and she has invited me to take part. I’m going to show my big, new Peach Tangle for the first time and have a bunch of prints hot off the Gocco available too. So come on by to see some art and meet a bunch of crazy artists (myself included).
