Quick Hits

Tonight’s a busy night in Southern California for Toy and related events:

  • Gary Baseman’s "For Love of Toby" at Billy Shire Fine Arts (7-10 PM) – A solo show of Baseman’s paintings, ephemera pieces, as well as his new 16-inch plush Toby Toy!
  • Biskup print release party at Bispop (6-9 PM)Tim Biskup’s new gambling themed print (giclee print limited to 50 pieces), "Rat Den" will be available via a novel "craps"-style lottery arrangement.  Should also mention that the party will be catered by C&0 Cucina. Also, Bispop has made arrangements for a charter bus that will travel to the Baseman show and then return to Bispop in Pasadena!  Pretty cool idea.
  • Double Click at Black Market Long Beach (7-11 PM) – The first of two stops for Nakanari and b.b. birdy.  I’m guessing they will be customizing their funny club figures for customers but not sure — probably best to call the store.
