10:35 AM PDT on September 3, 2007

New Image Art Gallery ~ 7908 Santa Monica Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90046

Few artists today are as adept at portraying the schizo collision of corporate commercialism, packaged innocence, and pervasive violence that defines U.S. culture as well as King's County-based artist BAST. Come check out his monster-trophy hunting lodge and paintings at New Image until September 23rd. New Image has a serious Brooklyn-bent, with pieces from FAILE and SWOON part of their permanent collection.

SWOON

FAILE

I think these are by the Date Farmers

I'm choosing to call this one: "Am I Wrong if I wanna Get It On 'Til I Die?"
