Jeff Mcmillan
Jeff McMillan was born in October of 1977 in San Jose, CA where he spent a good portion of his life, and it was during the first few years of Jeff’s existence that he started trying his hand at art at the young age of 3. McMillan’s influences lie heavily in 80’s pop culture. The artist proclaims that the decade boasted the best television programming, cartoons, toys, and movies. It was a decade of imagination and creativity during a time when the world was changing so drastically on all levels. As he continued to make use of the right side of his brain, it eventually became time for McMillan to begin the final stages of schooling. He attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco from 1999 to 2001 until he made the big move to Southern California, where he continued his schooling at the prestigious Art Center College of Design, in Pasadena, CA from 2001 to 2004. He studied illustration at both schools until he graduated from the Art Center with honors. He now lives and works in Long Beach with his wonderful wife, Liv and a disobedient Siamese cat.

Dave The Chimp at ATM Gallery
May 5th 09, 22:43
ATM is proud to present “PRINTS for the New Power Generation”, Dave the Chimp’s first solo show in his new hometown of Berlin.
Dave the Chimp is, in the words of +1 magazine, “ A Veritable Renaissance Man”. Well, if that means a painter, a cartoonist, a director of pop videos and TV commercials, a graffiti artist, a dancer with a band, a designer of both skateboard graphics and skateboard shoes, and an avid self-publisher, then we think it’s probably a pretty good thing to say about the Chimp. We could also tell you that he has exhibited his paintings and been featured in books alongside all the major players in the street art and skateboard art scene today (Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Dalek, Blu, The London Police, Mark Gonzales, Andy Jenkins, etc) and has had successful solo shows in Britain, Italy, Germany and Luxembourg. He has been the CI designer for a skateboard company, and the Artist in Residence at a London advertising agency, and the first book of his street work will be published by Publikat this summer. Dave the Chimps` work has a depths of thinking rarely visible in the Street Art scene, and with an ability to communicate so much with so few marks, his art is some of the most interesting seen in both galleries and on the streets today.
For most Berliner´s Dave the Chimp is already well known for his famous mural in Kreuzberg and his fantastic artwork at “Künstlerhaus Bethanien” and he was a significant part of the legendary “Backjumps Live Issues”.
“PRINTS for the New Power Generation”, as the name suggests, will be a collection strictly of screen, lino, and stencil prints. The Chimp will be exhibiting a selection of prints from various shows and street projects from the last few years, as well as some brand new, limited edition prints created exclusively for this exhibition in runs of 25 and under.

The Citrus Report “Citrus Hates Peas” Issue 16
April 28th 09, 10:05
From a look at this Mountains painting by Sacramento, California based artist Skinner, you might think he’s a little disturbed. And while that may be true, they always say there’s a fine line between insanity and genius, so we’re hoping Skinner’s closer to the latter. Good thing he’s featured in the latest release from The Citrus Report.
The Citrus’ 16th Report is titled Citrus Hates Peas. We actually kinda like peas (especially with SoyYaki teriyaki sauce all up on that…yum) but heck, everyone’s entitled to their own opinions.
Who else is featured in TCR this time around? Iron Chef America”s” Chris Cosentino, and Funny or Die star, Charlie the Abusive Teddy Bear. Also, columnist Ricky Powell has a few words on the state of everything. Peep it now at thecitrusreport.com

Martha Rich at La Luz De Jesus
April 23rd 09, 14:42
Martha Rich’s third show at La Luz de Jesus Gallery “Nice School” explores her experiences growing up in suburban Philadelphia where young women were expected to be nice, polite and helpful – being liked by all was the ultimate goal. At first glance the paintings appear benign, nice and comforting. Below the surface, the layers reveal a darker side to being nice, trying to answer the question whether being too nice can be a not so nice thing.
Where did you go to Nice School? This show is an exploration of niceness. What a nice girl. That’s nice. If you are nice, people will like you. Do you like nice people? Is nice better than mean? Does nice finish last? Is mean winning? Jerk. Mean gets the attention. Does nice equal doormat? Wimp. Being nice all the time is annoying. Is nice contagious? You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Who wants to catch flies? Nice. Be nice and come see the show.
