Jason “Stuntkid” Levesque is one of the most staggeringly accomplished digital artists I’ve met. He’s done his pastel pretty, aesthetically subversive designs for clients like Nike, Tori Amos and Marvel Comics. Here we talk about pixels, muses, and the beauty of disgust.
This past Saturday Alhambra’s decidedly happening Gallery Nucleus hosted an opening party for their Poster Peepshow exhibition, which features lots of luscious pin up art from the past and present. Cheesecake and erotic artist Olivia De Berardinis, whose work has been prominently featured in the pages of Playboy, signed copies of her books for a seemingly never-ending line of fans, and Suicide Girls Sash and Milloux modeled for a packed live figure drawing session. Original Catwoman Julie Newmar, L.A. glamour gal Lenora Claire, and Runaways producer Kim Fowley were also in attendance.
Last week, my friends and I decided to take part in one of my favorite LA activities – gallery-hopping. This task is a little taxing, considering weekend traffic around here can feel like The Grand Freeway Exodus. Still, seasoned art opening goers stare bravely into the gaping maw of road congestion and aren’t swayed from their path to new art.
