Check out the massive group show Bewitching III at Albuquerque’s Stranger Factory gallery.
Stranger Factory art space is proud to present the 3rd year anniversary of our annual Halloween show. Bewitching III the third of an annual invitational group exhibition of new works in the theme and culture of vintage Halloween. The show will feature over 2 dozen local, national, and internationally recognized visual artists and designers.
Artists are invited to find inspiration in the history of Halloween, including costuming and merchandise from a past long gone to the symbolism and icons of this fantastic hallowed holiday – black cats to witches, to the walking dead and pumpkin kings…
Anyone from the area who got to go in person?

I had to share this pun-tastic idea for a group are show.
Toy Art Gallery is proud to present Scott Tolleson’s DEADBEET Custom Group Show! The Deadbeet is 6” of soft vinyl veggie mischief, and we’ve invited 50 of the toy scene’s brightest and best toy artists customizers to tame this ragged root.
If anyone makes it to this, let me know how it is!

Today I give you the Van Eaton Galleries Mad Monster Party Group Show. I wish I could see this one on person!
See the rest here.
How I wish I could visit the Science Museum of London to see these incredible wax anatomical figures, originally created circa 1810-1830.
Thank you, Street Anatomy for pointing me toward Beth Cavener Stitcher’s Four Humors sculpture series. I had admired her work in the past, but was rather intrigued by these representations of Hippocratic medicine.
Sanguine – Too much blood – passionate, bold, impulsive

Choleric – Too much yellow bile – irritable, hostile, bitter

Melancholic – Too much black bile – depressed, anxious, moody

Phlegmatic – Too much phlegm – passive, introverted, rational

This must have been a powerful exhibit to see in person.

Last month, I gathered a “Death and the Maiden” image collection on my hard drive, figuring I would do some sort of theme week with it here. But like things tend to do for obsessive image collectors, it kind of got lost in the shuffle.
Roq La Rue Gallery has one upped me with this nicely curated collection in their current Death and the Maiden group show. Here are some previews:
Seattle folks (if you’re out there), let me know how the show is in person if you attend!
I happen to be out of town right now, but I wish I could see Thomas Woodruff’s Four Temperaments show in person. These lushly colored alchemical fusions of flora and fauna are undoubtedly a treat for the eyes up close.
Color schemes and themes reflect the four temperaments: sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic (named after the ancient theory of bodily humors).
My favorite creatures in this beastiary are the Batterflies:

See the rest of the exhibit on line at the P.P.O.W. Gallery.
It’s time for Brooklyn’s MF Gallery annual toy show!
If you’re in the area, go see some creepy, cuddly, bony, fuzzy little monsters!
You can see some of the exhibit online here, but these are probably fun to see in person.
Brooklyn’s MF Gallery is currently featuring a Halloween group show with some nifty, spooky pieces.
I wish I could have attended the opening (especially to support my friend Kathy Hayes…the awesome setup above is her handiwork).
See the show online here.
