I'm all about supporting local artists and artists everywhere else alike! So today I made my way to the Kaleid Art Gallery in San Jose, California. Every 3rd Tuesday of every month the Kaleid gallery holds a event called "Two Buck Tuesday". I went there to check out some awesome work and also pay a visit to my buddy Kyle Pellet! So here are the results.
So right when you walk into the gallery you instantly see a artist working on something and there are seats for folks to watch! It was pretty enjoyable being able to watch someone at work in front of a crowd.
The gallery even had something I've never seen in a show before! A black curtain with flashlights offered in front of it! Now how insane is that? Well the whole concept was to take one of the flashlights and walk into the dark section and point the lights at the works! Very original and its a great idea, so it highlights the greatness of the art work.
Like I mentioned earlier, I was there to meet up with a local artist who goes by the name of Pellet. Kyle Pellet is a really cool dude, and he was kind enough to even give me one of his pieces right off the wall for my birthday! Thanks Pellet! Check out his works!
So if your local, I suggest you go ahead and make your way down to 4th street in San Jose and check it out! For more information on the Gallery check out the website! For more stuff on Pellet, check his Myspace and Flickr! For more photos of the event from my trip, check out my Flickr!

This custom by Cris Rose is truly amazing and more shots can be seen on his
Flickr. This year has been so chocked full of great work from this super talented artist, and it is not even half over...keep up the amazing work Cris. Below is the story behind the creation of this magnificent creature!
"In the year's following Runcible's public unveiling, his creator was put under international pressure to create robots for purposes he was not so comfortable with. The projects rarely got off the drawing board, but one that made it to Prototype was Project P.
This 12 foot beast was designed for duties deep in the Brazilian rainforest, where loggers and poachers had decimated the ecosystem. While his creator deplored all forms of violence, the rainforest was now almost entirely gone and he knew something drastic had to be done. Silent-running, fully autonomous, camoflaged in green and stone and reaching speeds of 60 miles per hour, his sole mission was "Protect All Wildlife". He achieved this by using his massive granite fists to destroy illegal logging plants and smashing the trucks of hunters together.
Within 9 months the prototype had rampaged through what remained of the rainforest, crushing every hunter that wasn't smart enough to run and somehow overriding his recall commands. For a century the metal sentinel roamed the rainforest, ensuring it's full recovery and falling into legend.
No one ever found out that his recall commands never existed."
If you are digging Cris's work he is always open for commissions...just contact him through his website
HERE, and let him know you are interested in his artistic services. The sky is the limit for Cris, and look forward to many more amazing pieces like this from him in the near future!
