The Scary-Art Umbrella Will Soon Shade the Planet

noreply@blogger.com (Scary Art Collective) — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:31:00 +0000

"Scary-Art" was a term coined in early 2006 by friend, art-lover and gym owner, Chip Conrad, to describe the paintings of Nicolas Caesar. Not entirely unlike Mary Shelly's creature, Scary-Art has taken on a life of its own since that moment several moons ago. Yes, it still describes Caesar's art, but it also describes his outsider artist friends and cohorts who began showing with him in Sacramento's midtown muffin shop galleries and any other venue that would have them. Now "Scary-Art" describes a group of maladjusted misfits who pal around and spend their time painting, sculpting, gluing, photographing, stitching and repurposing whatever catches their fancy, as well as the things they have painted, sculpted, glued, photographed, stitched and repurposed. And so the Scary-Art Collective came into the world. Love us or hate us, here we are.

Recently, Caesar and fellow scary artist John Hageman, Jr. began work on a few new web comic projects. First, we were treated with entertaining tales of zombified warts, morons at street fairs and drawings of 'Satan's Onion Ring' in Nicolas Caesar's Grindhouse. While only a few weeks into their newest experiment, "Schadenfreude," we've learned that sometimes Gremlins like to wear hotpants (why NOT hotpants?) and that you can fit 17 happy meal toys up an emo kid's ass if you really try. These twisted weeklies were teamed up with Hageman's irreverent "Social Vermyn" web comic, and Scary-Art Comics, as Douglas Adams so aptly put it, 'had suddenly been called into existence.'

And here we are, with the virtual ink still wet on the latest web comic, giving you MORE news about another sprouting tentacle of the Scary-Artctopus. We are excited to announce the unavoidable approach of SCARY-CRAFT! Go ahead. Lock your doors and bar your windows ... the E6000 fumes will creep through the cracks and find you. Stay tuned as we build onto our "brand" with a new logo, web page and get ready for our first show later this year!

We found someplace that loves us the way we are....

This weekend was seriously metal.

The Scary Art Collective makes its debut at Sacramento's premier adult toy store, Grind & Groove. Brutal.

The geeky outsider artists of the Scary Art Collective together with the open-minded, 'anything goes' atmosphere engendered by Anna and Jen at Grind & Groove makes for one hell of an evening. For those of you who were unable to make it out this weekend, the art is up on the walls until the end of the month, and it is SO worth a trip to Midtown Sacramento just to see it (2226 K Street).

Collective founder, Nicolas Caesar may have found his calling. Grind & Groove purchased several of his pieces for the store's permanent collection, AND they are commissioning even more. His "Pocket Rocket" now hangs, appropriately, above the vibrators, downstairs in the toy room. Care to guess where "Mr. Lube" hangs?

Pocket Rocket & Mr. Lube (16x20 collection of Grind & Groove) Whip It (16x20 available)

Grind & Groove did their biggest night so far in art sales, and there were more than quite a few "little black bags" (G&G's answer to a plain brown wrapper) coming up from downstairs to be discretely rung up by a friendly and helpful staff. The headcount (ahem...) ended up somewhere around 1,600 by the end of the night!!!!

A few of the guest artists who participated were new to the whole art show scene, and some were just new to Scary Art Collective shows. I'm totally loving the screenprints by Vacaville area artists, Barry Barnes. Barry's had some difficulty finding venues ... there seem to be prudes running the galleries these days. Even the more tame of his pieces, "bras" has met with some stink-eye.

but his S&M screenprints are just stunning:

Awesome, ain't he? And, as Nicolas says, he truly is "a real laid back cat."

Sue of Ceramic Oddities had another successful evening in Sacramento, following on the tails of her successes at Bats Day in August and the Scary Art Collective show in October. The Collective is pleased to say that we've finally taken the big step and are making an honest woman out of Sue. Please join with us in welcoming her to our little team.

Since we're congratulating folks, please drop by Miss Evie Turner's site and wish her well for making our membership list. Although Evie only started showing with us at the Grind & Groove show, she's been a long-time supporter of and collaborator with the Collective and our artists. Evie is well known as a real lover of outsider art and mentored CoolCat Gallery, Collective members, Mark Fox and Cinder through the very successful KVIE Art Auction in 2007.

You know what the BEST news is, though? WE'LL BE BACK AT GRIND & GROOVE IN AUGUST!

Thanks so much to all of the artists and to EVERYONE who came out to support art and sex toys (together at last).

Annual Scary Halloween show!

noreply@blogger.com (Scary Art Collective) — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 23:11:00 +0000

This year's huge Scary Art Collective Show kicked off on Saturday, October 13, 2007 and was, without a doubt, an enourmous success. Over 20 artists and hundreds (felt like thousands) of fans really made the night special.

Thanks to everyone who supplied gallery space, submitted art, helped organize & hang, came out to support us and who purchased art (especially those who purchased). We'd be nothing without you.

Art is available at Body Tribe Fitness and Side Show Studios in Sacramento through November 8th. Please contact us for more info!

KVIE wins with Scary Art!

noreply@blogger.com (Scary Art Collective) — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 23:05:00 +0000

Paintings donated by Scary Art Collective members C!nder and Mark Fox raised major cabbage for public television station KVIE Channel 6 last night!

C!nder's "At Least My Sky Is Blue" well exceeded KVIE's goal of $250, going for $400 (!!!) after the dust created by five competing bidders settled.

Mark's acrylic on wood "Melungeon Seranade" raised almost three times the station's goal of $90. The final bid was ...wait for it... $250. Meanwhile Mark and Nicole Fox looked astonished and proud, respectively, as they watched the bidding mayhem from behind the scenes.

Congratulations fellas!

Special thanks to Evie Turner at KVIE for mentoring CoolCat Gallery's initial appearance on the KVIE Art Auction, and for being a loyal supporter of the Scary Art Collective!
