If you're in Seattle the weekend of August 21st and are looking for something to do, might I suggest the opening of Travis Louie's "Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Monster" show at Roq La Rue. Louie has been producing a steady stream of lovable monster portraits for a few years and this show boasts the promise of larger and more ambitious works. The artist also has his first book coming out called "Curiosities" which looks like it it will be dropping around the same time. I've been a big fan of Louie's work for a few years and would love to have a collection of his work all bound up together, for me it would be like looking threw an old family photo album, that belongs to the monsters under the bed.
