March 15, 2003 San Francisco

In a bad economy, funding for art ventures is first to go. Start Soma deserves high praise for opening its doors and showcasing affordable artwork by some of the best underground artists around. More than 50 artists participate in the flagship show, including LA heavy hitters Shepard Fairey and Logan Hicks, SF's own graffiti and poster artists DAve, NoMe, Mars and Misk, and Anthony Skirvin (of "Warned" fame), who's back in the art circuit after a two-year break. The show also includes montage master Winston Smith, who immortalized Dead Kennedys album covers, and Aidan Hughes, acclaimed illustrator known for his work with German industrial band KMFDM.

This show is ONE NIGHT ONLY. So, don't miss it.

January 23 - March 29, 2003 San Francisco

location info

This will be a multi-media extravaganza, in which nearly 100 artists will take you on a wagon train to the stars as they display their artistic explorations of marrying Sci-Fi and Western Imagery. Sunny Buick has prepared a full-color catalog including all of the works in the show. The catalog will be offered for sale at the show as a collectors item. Winston has created two new pieces for this exhibition.

Chick Fontaine, curator of Winston's Artcrime webstore, will also have a piece in the show. Chick is an emerging San Francisco rock poster artist who's been collaborating with Winston on his poster and ad designs for the past three years. Chick's work has also been seen on the San Francisco streets in the form of posters for the bands, PBR Street Gang, Storm, Jana Herzen, UK Subs and others. This is Chick's first time to have her own art displayed in a gallery show.

Both Winston and Chick will be at the opening. Come on down, have a few beers and check out this sure to be wild, wild west show.

October 26 - December 7, 2002 New York

Fuse Gallery

Be among the first to see a rich selection of Winston's latest works including the cover of George Carlin's most recent album, plus a new series of large scale, rather dreamy panoramic collage landscapes with titles such as "Bunny on the Hot Seat (Every Dodo Has Its Day)", "Every Time You Go Away, You Take a Piece of Meat with You" and the Fuse show poster image, "To the Nth Degree." "If puns are the lowest form of humor, I guess my art must be the lowest form of art," quips Winston. Also on display will be vintage Winston images, including "Satan is My Co-Pilot" cover image for his second book Artcrime (Last Gasp, 2000) and also "God Told Me To Skin You Alive" which appeared on Green Day's platinum album, Insomniac (Reprise/Warner Brothers, 1998).
