SFEtsy Art Show at STUDIO Gallery, May 2-27, 2012

SFEtsy Art Show at STUDIO Gallery, May 2-27, 2012

I’m in a gallery show! It’s all very exciting. It opened technically yesterday, but the reception is Saturday, May 12 from 2-6pm, so you should totally come! Yes, you.

Oh, right, you live on the other side of the country. Well, okay, you’re excused, then.

But not you! You’re just going to have to come.

I have four pieces in the show, which is a big group show with over 60 artists from the SFEtsy Street Team. You can see the details here, and hopefully you’ll find the time to stop by and maybe even the money to buy a piece or three. There’s a wide range of prices, media and themes, which I’ll get to see at the reception I mentioned.

Yay, gallery show! In a real, live gallery! I’ll see you all there, right? Right.

Distant Skies at Endgame in Oakland, CA

Distant Skies, art by Amy Crook at Endgame in Oakland, CA

Distant Skies, art by Amy Crook at Endgame in Oakland, CA

Did you miss the tentacles? Never fear, new art is here! Well, here at Endgame in Oakland, anyway. I decided to theme the show with skies, stars and moons, and so you can see there’s pieces ranging from last week’s Blue Moon to some of my earliest salt pieces like Aglow. It’s funny, it feels like I’ve been working on the salt technique for ages, but really it’s not quite been a year, so this is a good sampling of the things I’ve done over the past year.

As before, the art is upstairs in the open gaming area, and I’m there most Wednesday evenings playing boardgames with the guys, so feel free to stop in. Of course the room up there is open most of the time, so if you just want to take a peek when I’m not around to stare to you, feel free.

The salt paintings are just so much cooler in person, I want you all to see them, I admit it. There’s even one token non-salt watercolor, Mountains of Madness, just for variety. You can click the image above to get a better view of the 13 pieces included in the show.

Tentacles at Endgame

Tentacle Deeps watercolor series by Amy Crook, on display at Endgame in Oakland, CA

If you’ve been curious to see some of these pieces in person, now’s your chance! The wonderful guys at Endgame in Oakland, CA have graciously allowed me to take over one the walls up in their open gaming area for a mini-show of my Tentacle Deeps series. I’m really enjoying the way the whole series looks all together like this, though there are two pieces that didn’t make it up onto the wall — these only go to 11.

I’m usually there on Wednesday nights to game if you’d like to come see me as well as my work, but if you go by when I’m not there, be sure to tell the guys at the counter I said hi!

Mini-Showing at The Book Shop

Window of Art by Amy Crook at The Book Shop

Window of Art by Amy Crook at The Book Shop

As a rule I rarely show my art, but over the next few years I’m hoping to change that, and I’m starting with this month-long window display at The Book Shop in Hayward, CA. If you live in the SF Bay Area, you can go visit my art in public at 1007 B Street all through the month of February.

You can even come meet me on Saturday, February 12 in the early afternoon! I’ll be loitering around the shop pretending I don’t want to take all the books home for a few hours.

Now that the window display is up, I can turn my attention to other things, like finishing up my snazzy new art shop here on the site, and making more, new art.
