Hi, Texas. How are you? The next leg of the Scion Installation 4 tour is rolling through Austin. The show, titled It’s a Beautiful World features artists such as Dalek, Blaine Fontana, Jeff Soto, Angela Boatwright, RETNA, Ron English and Sam Flores. The exhibit will open at the Gallery Lombardi on Thursday, Jan. 17th with a reception featuring It’s a Beautiful World artists Fontana, Andrew Pommier, Michael Sieben and Tim McCormick to be held that day from 6 - 10pm. The exhibit will run until Feb. 22nd.

About a year ago, I happened upon Audrey Kawasaki’s work while doing research for an interview on another talented LA artist Blaine Fontana. I’ve been a fan ever since. Today, I got my first print of her work in the mail (pictured above), and I’m pretty much stoked on life. You can check out more of her work here or if you’re the buddy-buddy type, look her up on MySpace.
