Beautiful Things: Peter Beard. Photography and collage collide.

I had the chance to flip through Peter Beard's book in Taschen this afternoon (god forgive me for spending part of a Saturday at the Grove).Though I spotted it on my way out and only had a moment with it, I was captivated by the imagery. Nudes make me happy. Collage makes me happier. Beard's work does the trick on both counts.

art in LA: Christina M. Felice. Tonight.

Tonight's opening reception at the Edgar Varela Fine Art gallery in Downtown LA features not one, but two of LA's finest females. The show will feature new work from the lovely Christina Felice. It's collage. (And if you didn't know, now you'll know--I love collage. If I could stay home for my remaining years, cut things out, and put them back together in collage form, I would.) And as an added bonus, DJ Valida will provide tunes. Because two beautiful ladies [and their respective talents] are better than one.
