"Sleep Heap" by Lilli Carre

This Friday, February 12: Space is the Place: , paintings of UFOs and such by Esther Pearl Watson.

The show opens this Friday at Webb Gallery in Waxahachie, Texas with a reception featuring music by Darktown Strutters and Wild in the Streets.

We will be back on Tuesday with a braaaaaand new letterpress print release. I just got the detail photos back from our photographer and they look amazing - they have a 1960's light show quality to them. Mailing list members will, as always, receive a sneak pique. Also worth noting: Less than a month until Tiny Showcase's five year anniversary. We're going to celebrate by opening up a knockoff Tiny Showcase that sells mall-quality prints of animal photographs. Exciting, right? I hope you will join us for that one.

Photography: Aforementioned Tiny Showcase artwork photographer, Kevin Trimmer, just launched his new wedding photography site. I just saw myself in a few of the photos and I do not look good - almost as if I had been sitting in front of an open bar all day long at the time the photo was taken. The bride and groom look stellar though.

Comedy: The Onion AV Club interviews Aziz Ansari (love the portion on Food Club); Fresh Air interviews him as well. There were portions of the Fresh Air interview that had me laughing uncontrollably.

Food: Williams-Sonoma's Pizza Sticks Pan & Cutter.

Music (they play Providence in March):

Man, how about that Lilli Carré? We've been in love with her work for ages now. Watching the print debut last night made me all giddy. If you've yet to put her artwork into your eyeballs then you really should swing by her website and blog to peruse some of her recent works, marvel at her illustrations, allow your brain to do backflips upon viewing her illustrations.

Lilli's 2009 release Nine Ways to Disappear should be available for purchase at your local high-class bookatorium, as well as low-class dives like this Amazon place my nephew keeps talking about. Same goes for her 2008 release, The Lagoon, published by our buddies over at Fantagraphics.

And so we end our broadcast week. We return on Tuesday with a brand new print. Until then, Josh Keyes' Haiti relief print will be very much available for purchase. We're about to hit $22,000 raised for charity in under a week which is completely mind boggling to us here at TS HQ. Thank you to everyone who has purchased this print. You really made our week.

I've Been To Europe, "New Factual Paintings" by Jay Ryan. The show opens this evening at Rotofugi in Chicago with music by DJ Carrie Weston.

Weekend listening: Midlake's The Courage Of Others.

The bottle design probably outweighs the taste but we still sort of want to try it: Bärenjäger Honey Liqueur.

If you are reading this then you are well aware of the fact that Josh Keyes' artwork has raised an amazing amount of money for charity. We will continue the sale through next Tuesday. If you have not yet grabbed a copy I should note that we are shipping them right this very minute so this will be as close to instant Josh Keyes satisfaction that you will get for quite some time.

When you have a second to take a break from hitting REFRESH on the donation total, swing on by Josh's portfolio site for a look at his latest works. Fragment, his collection of recent paintings, is currently open at Jonathan Levine in New York (along with the work of fellow Tiny contributor Saelee Oh). For those of you who refuse to visit the Northeast during Winter months, you can get a peek at the show right here. All others are required to go and see his work in person.

We're supposed to be gearing up for a gigundo release this evening but we can't stop messing around with Jesse LeDoux's Faceplant over at Nonsek. Some would say that it is too fun.
