We are attempting to write a daily little blurb on most (hopefully all) of the artists involved in our upcoming “These Friends 2″ show opening February 4th but how do we decide who goes in what order? Pick out of a hat! The artwork shown is not what is in the show BTW, you’ll have to come to the show to see that. Here’s Roger Gastman.

Roger is infamous. He is obsessed with graffiti, ALF, Topanga from Boy Meets World and a whole slew of things I dare not mention online. He is constantly trying to get me to adopt a Yellow lab. Not going to happen. He is one of my best buddies though, so I won’t hold it against him.

Roger has published so many books I can’t begin to count. He started While You Were Sleeping Magazine, co-founded Swindle Magazine and is now in the thick of curating a serious show at MOCA.

He’s the authority on all things illegal involving Tools of Criminal Mischief and breaking artists into great galleries around the world.

I don’t know what his artwork looks like. This is going to be an adventure.
