Alternative artists paint by numbers for charity
Ooh, how I’d love to see all the entries in the Charity By Numbers gallery show. The Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City, CA and the Alliance for Children’s Rights are presenting a collection of vintage paint-by-numbers pieces transformed into new original works by a serious crapload of great artists (over 100!) including Gary Baseman (shown here), Amy Crehore, Mark Ryden, Tim Biskup, Shag, Paul Frank, Jeff Soto, Gary Taxali, Kaz, Patrick McDonnell, Kozyndan, James Jean, Souther Salazar, and, well, the list goes on and on… Kent Williams has the full scoop, as well as more samples like the one shown here.
Sorry but Baseman is a half of a hack and an asshole to boot. I can’t respect him. But at least he got good artists for charity. Maybe he is working off some bad Karma.

I probably don’t need to tell you that my comment above is completely off. Ignore my bullshit and move on with enjoying Baseman’s work. Baseman, if you are reading I apologize for being half baked and emotional. Enjoy your show.
No, the first comment was pretty right on.
