THE SUPERSTAR COLLECTION

 

NEW ART FROM TIM GASKIN

THURSDAY | JANUARY 13

 

Tim Gaskin juxtaposes the icons of popular culture with the iconography of contemporary advertising.

This is Tim's first solo show, and given the response so far, it is pretty fair to say that it won't be his last!

**THIS JUST IN**

 

Tim Gaskin, John Doffing, and Terrance Alan, owner of the Blue Cube, have decided to include an OPTIONAL $5 cover charge for this event, with 100% of EVERY PENNY RAISED going directly to Save the Children's Asia Earthquake/Tsunami Relief Fund.

 

Save the Children created the Asia Earthquake/Tsunami Relief Fund to assist children + families impacted by the earthquake and the resulting tsunami.  This is Save the Children's largest relief effort in their 70 year history, and we hope you will join us in supporting this top-notch organization. 

 

We chose SAVE THE CHILDREN as the recipient charitable organization for this event, given their unprecedented track record + unique focus on the most vulnerable disaster victims.

David DeRosa Commissioned Portraits...

make great gifts!

 

David DeRosa is a top-notch talent who had the first public exhibition of his paintings at START SOMA this past year.

 

His work resonated. He quit his day job and has been painting around the clock ever since...

 

Over the past months, David has completed commissioned portraits in his signature after image style for a whole host of decidedly interesting characters...

 

 

Perhaps someone YOU know would like one? Or maybe one for yourself?

 

Kindly contact info@STARTsoma.com for additional information. Prices start at $500.

 


David DeRosa Portraits

 

David DeRosa Commissioned Portraits...

for FREE?

 

David DeRosa's art hangs on the walls of several musicians with only one name. Folks like Nas, Eminem, Proof, + Snoop.

 

But you don't need a Bentley to commission David DeRosa to paint a picture for you - particularly if you are an emerging San Francisco musician or band...

 

David is painting FREE pictures for local performers.

 

Album covers. Flyer art. Posters. Whatever you need.

 

FOR FREE.

 

No catch + royalty free.  We simply want to support local performers the same way we have supported local emerging artists. 

 

We will also do the same thing for ANY progressive charities + non-profits in San Francisco that need the same sort of thing...

 

Just drop David an email via DavidDeRosa@STARTsoma.com to set up a meeting...
