Baby Tattoo's Private Collection:
7 years of Art Shenanigans
collaborative work by over 30 contemporary artists

  SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 2010. 

Wax Poetic Gallery is proud to present Baby Tattoo’s Private Collection:  7 years of Art Shenanigans as part of their 10 year anniversary celebration.  Opening reception will be Saturday, January 30, 2010 from 8-11 p.m.  This event is free and open to the public.  Records will be spinning and refreshments will be served. 

This is the 7th collaboration between Wax Poetic and Baby Tattoo. “I think it’s cool that both of these art based businesses originated and continue to thrive in the San Fernando Valley,”  says Baby Tattoo founder Bob Self.  It’s going to be an amazing show.  We will have original art, limited edition prints, out-of-print products and seldom seen collectibles by today’s most popular contemporary artists.” 

 “I love working with Bob”, says Wax Poetic owner Kerry Hite.  “We have a very similar sensibility, we are both a little left of center.  What’s particularly interesting to me about this show are the collaborative paintings.  It’s fun to look at the paintings and try to figure out how many of the artists work you recognize.  What’s even more exciting is that some of the paintings on display have never been exhibited in Los Angeles.”

Baby Tattoo, Inc. is a Los Angeles based company that publishes books, produces events and promotes artistic lifestyles. Over the course of seven years in the art business, Baby Tattoo has developed professional relationships with some of today’s most popular contemporary artists, and has amassed a fascinating collection of artwork.

Some of the artists Baby Tattoo has worked with (as a publisher or as an event producer) include Ana Bagayan, Glenn Barr, Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup, Luke Chueh, Dave Cooper, Bob Dob, Gris Grimly, James Gurney, Thomas Han, James Jean, Christy Kane, Audrey Kawasaki, Frank Kozik, Joe Ledbetter, Lola, Travis Louie, Elizabeth McGrath, Tara McPherson, CJ Metzger, Miss Mindy, Buff Monster, Brandi Milne, Daniel Peacock, Ragnar, Johnny KMNDZ Rodriguez, KRK Ryden, Jeffery Scott (1019), Shag, Seonna Hong, Greg “Craola” Simkins, Amy Sol, Jeff Soto, Amanda Visell, Michael Whelan and Yoskay Yamamoto. Many of these artists will be represented within the exhibition.
