Superhero Amanda Palmer has been off her major label now for a few years, and is looking for funding for her upcoming album’s polishing, promotion, merchandising, and all the other stuffs that a big fancy label would have done, via Kickstarter.

You can pledge anywhere from $1 to $10,000 to help back this artistic endeavor. I’ve paid monies to see her live a number of times, and have also caught tiny secret events for free on beaches and in tiny hidden spaces, and have never felt an artist being as appreciative of her fans as she is.

Give her your money, and she’ll send you lovely thank you gifts.

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!

Reminds me of the wooden dinosaur skeleton on top of my grandparent’s TV when I was a kid.
