The event announcement reads:

The Sequel picks up where Conjoined 1 left off last year at this time. More classic sculptures, Life like models, Surreal assemblages, mixed media paintings, life sized toys and other conjoined works in 3-D. From the twisted and bizarre to the majestic and unbelievable there will be many unusual works!

Curated by painted monster maestro, Chet Zar, last year’s launch saw record attendance, numerous dropped jaws and abundant late-night lingerers, such was the entrancing power of the works displayed. Previews of art to be featured in Conjoined 2 have begun to surface on the Copro website to a similar effect:


Dead Pope, Chet Zar

More examples follow this text! Show up between 8 and 11pm for a chance to see these and many, many other pieces by today’s leading pop-surrealists, film special effects pros and well known toy creators, and say hello to our very own Zoetica, who has two paintings in the exhibit and will be in attendance along with many of the featured artists. This is one show you don’t want to miss – see you there!


Stitch Ears, Laurie Hassold


The Fast Supper, Jason Hite


Filthy Johnson, Paul Chatem


La Petite Mort, Christopher Conte


Cephalotus Geminus, Zoetica Ebb


Vati-Cane, Francesco De Molfetta

One of my favorite artists, Charmaine Olivia, is presenting a new piece this Saturday night at The Shooting Gallery in San Francisco.  I haven’t seen any of paintings in person, yet, but have been buying up her silhouettes to decorate my new home.

Now that you’ve spend the last month falling in love with Bloodmilk’s amazing lookbook, The Conjurer,  limited edition screen prints are available.

Printed and designed by artist Paul Romano on black, white, or grey French paper, with a subtle mica powder shimmer, the 19 x 25 inch print features a convergence of themes and images from the lookbook.  Hand signed and numbered, the image was captured by photographer  Christina Brown, with hand drawn elements by Paul Romano.
