The decision was an easy one, as I had been attending their openings for years and had formed friendships with all of the owners. Since joining, the gallery has undergone many changes (with many more still in the works) to better serve our goal of presenting unique and outstanding art shows and events to Chicago and the rest of the world through our online catalog. I am excited to present my first curated show as an official member of the of the OhNo!Doom Gallery, and would love for you to join us for our latest opening in person or sign up for our preview list if you are unable to attend. Please join OhNo!Doom Gallery on Friday, April 13, 2012, from 6-10pm, as we celebrate the eerie side of life with "A Walk Through the Dark: Artworks of the Macabre, Strange and Bizarre." This show explores the attraction to death and the supernatural that is woven into our human psyche. From Día de los Muertos celebrations to wide spread superstitions to cults and science fiction, we continually confront these unexplained and daunting topics even though they frighten us. We may be attracted to sugar skulls because of their intricate swirling patterns, or perhaps it is a perpetual reminder of our own mortality. Maybe it is as simple as the self-assured feeling we get when we are able to walk out, unharmed and alive, from a scary movie. Whatever the motivating factor may be, the pulse-pounding thrill of being scared keeps us coming back for more. "A Walk Through the Dark: Artworks of the Macabre, Strange and Bizarre" features the works of seven contemporary artists: Jonathan Bergeron, Stephanie Brown, Ego, Steven Fiche, Ben Lyon, Scarecrowoven, and Scott Shellhamer. Music will be provided by DJ Paisley Babylon of turntabling.net, and special beers will be created and shared by the craft micro-brewers at Lowdive Brewing. See below for the show info and flyer.

Everyone knows I'm a sucker for angry music, and Qwazaar, He.llsent, and Silence snapped hard on this shit, giving me a lot of enjoyable listens over the years. And while I would have preferred a video for one of the more hardcore tracks on the album, I certainly can't hate that Qwa decided to produce a video for the track "Greater Things." If you don't already own this album, I highly suggest you add it to your library. Back when it came out, I personally said that it reminded me a lot of the Rubberoom sound. I wasn't suggesting any sort of imitation, by any means. It just resonated, being that they float around in a similar realm of sonic ear-fucking, and they're both dope as fuck.

The decision was an easy one, as I had been attending their openings for years and had formed friendships with all of the owners. Since joining, the gallery has undergone many changes (with many more still in the works) to better serve our goal of presenting unique and outstanding art shows and events to Chicago and the rest of the world through our online catalog. I am excited to present my first curated show as an official member of the of the OhNo!Doom Gallery, and would love for you to join us for our latest opening in person or sign up for our preview list if you are unable to attend. Please join OhNo!Doom Gallery on Friday, April 13, 2012, from 6-10pm, as we celebrate the eerie side of life with "A Walk Through the Dark: Artworks of the Macabre, Strange and Bizarre." This show explores the attraction to death and the supernatural that is woven into our human psyche. From Día de los Muertos celebrations to wide spread superstitions to cults and science fiction, we continually confront these unexplained and daunting topics even though they frighten us. We may be attracted to sugar skulls because of their intricate swirling patterns, or perhaps it is a perpetual reminder of our own mortality. Maybe it is as simple as the self-assured feeling we get when we are able to walk out, unharmed and alive, from a scary movie. Whatever the motivating factor may be, the pulse-pounding thrill of being scared keeps us coming back for more. "A Walk Through the Dark: Artworks of the Macabre, Strange and Bizarre" features the works of seven contemporary artists: Jonathan Bergeron, Stephanie Brown, Ego, Steven Fiche, Ben Lyon, Scarecrowoven, and Scott Shellhamer. Music will be provided by DJ Paisley Babylon of turntabling.net, and special beers will be created and shared by the craft micro-brewers at Lowdive Brewing. See below for the show info and flyer.

The decision was an easy one, as I had been attending their openings for years and had formed friendships with all of the owners. Since joining, the gallery has undergone many changes (with many more still in the works) to better serve our goal of presenting unique and outstanding art shows and events to Chicago and the rest of the world through our online catalog. I am excited to present my first curated show as an official member of the of the OhNo!Doom Gallery, and would love for you to join us for our latest opening in person or sign up for our preview list if you are unable to attend. Please join OhNo!Doom Gallery on Friday, April 13, 2012, from 6-10pm, as we celebrate the eerie side of life with "A Walk Through the Dark: Artworks of the Macabre, Strange and Bizarre." This show explores the attraction to death and the supernatural that is woven into our human psyche. From Día de los Muertos celebrations to wide spread superstitions to cults and science fiction, we continually confront these unexplained and daunting topics even though they frighten us. We may be attracted to sugar skulls because of their intricate swirling patterns, or perhaps it is a perpetual reminder of our own mortality. Maybe it is as simple as the self-assured feeling we get when we are able to walk out, unharmed and alive, from a scary movie. Whatever the motivating factor may be, the pulse-pounding thrill of being scared keeps us coming back for more. "A Walk Through the Dark: Artworks of the Macabre, Strange and Bizarre" features the works of seven contemporary artists: Jonathan Bergeron, Stephanie Brown, Ego, Steven Fiche, Ben Lyon, Scarecrowoven, and Scott Shellhamer. Music will be provided by DJ Paisley Babylon of turntabling.net, and special beers will be created and shared by the craft micro-brewers at Lowdive Brewing. See below for the show info and flyer.

Yes indeed...Some of our favorite canvas murderers have open-edition prints available at Thumbtack Press, including Ken Keirns, Jeremiah Ketner, Jason Limon, and about a zillion others.

The decision was an easy one, as I had been attending their openings for years and had formed friendships with all of the owners. Since joining, the gallery has undergone many changes (with many more still in the works) to better serve our goal of presenting unique and outstanding art shows and events to Chicago and the rest of the world through our online catalog. I am excited to present my first curated show as an official member of the of the OhNo!Doom Gallery, and would love for you to join us for our latest opening in person or sign up for our preview list if you are unable to attend. Please join OhNo!Doom Gallery on Friday, April 13, 2012, from 6-10pm, as we celebrate the eerie side of life with "A Walk Through the Dark: Artworks of the Macabre, Strange and Bizarre." This show explores the attraction to death and the supernatural that is woven into our human psyche. From Día de los Muertos celebrations to wide spread superstitions to cults and science fiction, we continually confront these unexplained and daunting topics even though they frighten us. We may be attracted to sugar skulls because of their intricate swirling patterns, or perhaps it is a perpetual reminder of our own mortality. Maybe it is as simple as the self-assured feeling we get when we are able to walk out, unharmed and alive, from a scary movie. Whatever the motivating factor may be, the pulse-pounding thrill of being scared keeps us coming back for more. "A Walk Through the Dark: Artworks of the Macabre, Strange and Bizarre" features the works of seven contemporary artists: Jonathan Bergeron, Stephanie Brown, Ego, Steven Fiche, Ben Lyon, Scarecrowoven, and Scott Shellhamer. Music will be provided by DJ Paisley Babylon of turntabling.net, and special beers will be created and shared by the craft micro-brewers at Lowdive Brewing. See below for the show info and flyer.

The decision was an easy one, as I had been attending their openings for years and had formed friendships with all of the owners. Since joining, the gallery has undergone many changes (with many more still in the works) to better serve our goal of presenting unique and outstanding art shows and events to Chicago and the rest of the world through our online catalog. I am excited to present my first curated show as an official member of the of the OhNo!Doom Gallery, and would love for you to join us for our latest opening in person or sign up for our preview list if you are unable to attend. Please join OhNo!Doom Gallery on Friday, April 13, 2012, from 6-10pm, as we celebrate the eerie side of life with "A Walk Through the Dark: Artworks of the Macabre, Strange and Bizarre." This show explores the attraction to death and the supernatural that is woven into our human psyche. From Día de los Muertos celebrations to wide spread superstitions to cults and science fiction, we continually confront these unexplained and daunting topics even though they frighten us. We may be attracted to sugar skulls because of their intricate swirling patterns, or perhaps it is a perpetual reminder of our own mortality. Maybe it is as simple as the self-assured feeling we get when we are able to walk out, unharmed and alive, from a scary movie. Whatever the motivating factor may be, the pulse-pounding thrill of being scared keeps us coming back for more. "A Walk Through the Dark: Artworks of the Macabre, Strange and Bizarre" features the works of seven contemporary artists: Jonathan Bergeron, Stephanie Brown, Ego, Steven Fiche, Ben Lyon, Scarecrowoven, and Scott Shellhamer. Music will be provided by DJ Paisley Babylon of turntabling.net, and special beers will be created and shared by the craft micro-brewers at Lowdive Brewing. See below for the show info and flyer.
