Fall Flashback
Q: Hasn't Seattlest James plugged Roq La Rue enough lately?
A: Not quite. He's hoping to collect enough brownie points to redeem for a free Ryan Heshka painting.
Q: What is it this time?
A: We promised to remind you that Robert Williams will be signing copies of his book Through Prehensile Eyes tonight from 6:00-8:00.
Q: Robert Williams? The spastic hairy Oscar winner?
A: No, no. Robert Williams. The legendary artist who was lowbrow back when "low brow" was two words and before it was trendspotted in the LA Weekly. The founder of Juxtapoz magazine. The "comic-book Salvador Dali" whom D. Parvaz at the PI suspects may have a "fascination or disgust for the female anatomy." (The Portland Mercury's interviewer was more interested in his relationship to the mainstream art establishment.)
Q: Okay, then. That's cool. Um, where do we go again?
A: Roq La Rue Gallery in Belltown, 2312 2nd Ave. The signing runs from 6-8, with a reception afterwards.
This event is part of the Belltown Night Out, a combination gallery walk/shopping extravaganza.
