Photos from Joshua Petker's "Black Sugar" Art Opening

Last Saturday was the Joshua Petker "Black Sugar" art opening at the Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City. Beautiful new paintings (by Petker) adorned the walls, spilling vivid colors into the senses of all who came, and not even the temporary smell of natural gas in the air could keep art lovers from entering the building. CHG provided a wonderfully comfortable and friendly environment, for patrons to enjoy these new works, and for the works to enjoy the patrons. Indeed, either Petkers models had all shown up for the event, or the paintings themselves came to life to mingle, as I could almost swear that some of the women walking the floors of the event, were the same that hung in frames on the walls. Non were caught on film, as is always the case in unexplained events.

The man, Joshua Petker.

I've been messing around with photoshop lately in preparation for a collaboration with Fotojedi, that we'll be working on at the end of this year. Below are the results, which I'm quite happy with for someone who's never really played with the program to this extent before. The first one is called Fallen Angel, and the others underneath are a little bit of fan art for one of my favorite horror novels, The Cipher, by Kathe Koja. I'm still deciding which of the three is the direction I'm going to take my work in.
