Camille Rose Garcia opens a new solo exhibition, "Snow White and the Black Lagoon" in Los Angeles, California at the Michael Kohn Gallery ths Saturday (March 12), and she sent us a video of her painting for the new show. As we wrote earlier, the "show plays off of the classic Grimm Brothers’ story, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves”, with this series of paintings and drawings creating a modern day allegory for our delusional relationship with nature."

We appreciate an artist like Jonathan Zawada. Not only does he have an extensive commercial portfolio, but he can change his overall look, concept, and medium for every exhibition he has. From his large scale drawings and oil paintings at Prism Gallery, in Los Angeles last month, to his sculpture, textile, photographic and digital prints at the Monster Children Gallery, Sydney, the body of work is vast.

October 2007 cover artist, Michael Sieben, is back for a Second Season of his web series, Internet Shack. "Peeping cockroaches, conspiracy theory junkpiles, and hallucinogenic cave gas? Must be time for Season II of The Internet Shack. If you don't like it, just throw it in the river. Bolts!" That was Thrasher speak. Video after the jump . . .

SInce everybody's first guitar was a Fender, you can't get more everyday than that, and thats what this group of artists were given to re-create into remarkable artworks. Gene Simmon's Axe Base has got nothing on these, see more of these guitars after the jump…

We at Juxtapoz have had this coversation often: when will people start naming their kids after corporations? We know this is coming, scary as that may be. Artist Dietrich Wegner has had an interesting vision as well, photoshopping real babies in multicolored fake tattoos that feature logos from big corporations. He has even made sculptures.

As we wrote last month, Swoon is showing in Melbourne, Australia at Metro Gallery, and the Australian press has been more than happy to embrace the Brooklyn-based artist. We found this video that ABC Arts in Australia shot of the artist, not bad for what appears to be major coverage of Swoon's show. Video after the jump . . .

Chris Eckert has desigend and created this robotic tattoo machine. The great part is that the tattoo machine does the tattoo for you, and the even better/crazy thing is that it picks your tattoo for you. Not just any tattoo, you are "assigned a religion and it's corresponding symbol is tattooed onto the your arm." More after the jump . . .

This past weekend in New York City was the 13th annual Armory Show that took place at piers 92 & 94 on the West Side. As you know, the Armory Show is an international art fair showcasing artworks from the 20th and 21st centuries, with a lot of galleries we cover having showcases and booths that were worth a check out.
