Leandro has chosen Girls Rock! Rhode Island as his artwork's charity. Girls Rock! Rhode Island works to help girls and women empower themselves through the development of musical skills in order to foster self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-efficacy. $250 dollars from the sale of his artwork will be donated to the organization.
We're about to skip town for the long holiday weekend but before we go, I wanted to point out that if you have not yet done so, visiting the portfolio site of Leandro Castelao is absolutely required. You will receive an INCOMPLETE in this course if you do not, at the very least, stop in and browse through his recent works.
Have a great 4th of July. We'll be back on Tuesday with, once again, a brand new print by a brand new Tiny Showcase contributor.

We just sent out a preview of tonight's artist to our mailing list. If you did not receive the email, it is probably because you've clogged your inbox with PDFs of soybean contracts (If this is the case, I would suggest calling your computing consultant and asking them to rebuild your RAID array). If you did receive the email, your eyes have probably spun out of control and begun functioning independently of your brain after seeing such an amazing sight. We will be releasing work by this brand new, unbelievably amazing artist, later this evening.

Three things worth noting in the above photo, discovered on a totally random weblog run by some dude in California who seems to be quite classy, albeit a bit obsessed with motorcycles and bike parts.
Thanks unknown twinternet blogger. If we should ever cross paths, I promise to treat you to a Dunkin' Dark.

We ran into a buddy of ours who was heading down to New York for the weekend and we were all "What inspired that trip?" and they were all "You're kidding, right?" Jack Long'sSinging Her to Sleep opens tomorrow (Saturday) night at Giant Robot.
Way on the other end of the country, APAK'sRainbow Garden at Tinlark.
MBV's writeup on the possible new Spoon EP. Is it an internet hoax? We really don't know and we like MBV too much to confirm the rumor by reading some trashy rival music blog BUT it got us all worked up about how great Merge's recent releases have been which, in turn, led us to the Merge website to check out if we'd missed any new releases whiiiich made me super regretful that I didn't get a copy of Score! 20 Years of Merge Records (they just announced that Mindy Kaling from The Office is contributing to the madness). Where am I going with this? Nowhere. You should stop reading your computer screen right now and go walk your dog. I know it is raining out but he's bored and would really appreciate the opportunity to sniff things.

More more more! We know we've got an amazing artist on our hands when we start receiving emails that hint at physical harm if we do not release more of their artwork.
Jennifer Davis' print from last night is indeed very much sold out but you can find much much more of her work right here. I am a huge fan of her "Bumper Cars" acrylic and graphite from earlier this year.

We've got a new artwork release this evening on Tiny Showcase - you probably already knew that because you're on our email list.
While you kill time waiting for the artwork to debut, you should probably consider checking out MBV's list of new album releases for this week. There's all sorts of great music in stores this week. For those of you who hate stores, MBV is streaming Royal City's collection of rarities/covers/etc. Very much worth a listen.
we are all so socially awkward it's amazing we can talk at all SnF
It's with the utmost I report that last night's Not About The Buildings Spelling Bee went off smashingly. The word highlights of the evening being "isthmus" and "smithereens". Don't forget you still have time to sponsor people (me) for the Summer Read-A-Thon - all skrills earned go to a very good cause of course.
In the most important news of the year, David Berman's new book of drawings will be released this very day. Like most everything Dave Berman makes, The Portable February promises to be something that I can no longer live without.
As for things you cannot live without, tonight's Showcase will move you, into subtle and precious dimensions, at 7:30pm EDT YEAH! yeah! yeah!
Every week on Tuesday evening (EST) we release a limited run of prints for sale. Email list members will receive a weekly email with information about the print, the release time, and anything else we think you might find interesting - like gallery events or our eating habits. We promise never to use your email for evil.
