SAN DIEGO, CA:   Double Break is very excited to announce our fifth exhibition, Double Breaks, a group show co-curated by LA-based artist Jay Howell and Louis M Schmidt. Throwing together 27 artists with nearly as many styles, Double Breaks will leap from painting to graffiti, from drawing to illustration, from comics to fine art, then turn in on itself to create a vacuum of lawless, unadulterated aesthetic chaos. Or something like that… The show will feature a slew of fantastic artists, including Neil Blender, iconic comics artist Bill Griffith (creator of Zippy the Pinhead) plus widely exhibited artists like Thomas Campbell, Ed Templeton, Mel Kadel, Travis Millard, Mark Mulroney, Russ Pope, Deth P. Sun and many more!

Artists Travis Millard and Mel Kadel had a show in San Francisco’s FFDG gallery back in June 2011.  There’s so much good stuff that’s available that I thought I’d share it once again.  I mean check out these rad ink doodlings on envelopes and ghost figurines by Travis alongside the beautifully hand crafted and textured pieces by Mel.  See the rest of the pieces on the FFDG gallery site.
