i am 8-bit @ Gallery 1988 by Carol T Chung
If you're in L.A. this is the last week to check out the 2nd annual i am 8-bit exhibit at Gallery 1988. Previously this year I mentioned the i am 8-bit book (now available), which showcased work from the 1st year's exhibition as well as a few from the current one on display in L.A. However, there's plenty of new and exciting work to see at this game fanboy manifestion otherwise known as the i am 8-bit exhibit.

Olaf Breuning: Color Studies
Part of his recent ongoing Color Studies series, Olaf Breuning's current exhibit in Los Angeles' Michael Benevento Gallery uses sculpture and photography as vehicles for luminous basic colors, offsetting them with deep black and bright white surfaces to striking effect. A multiple-room exhibit, Breuning painted the gallery's first room entirely black, making the photographs depicting bright paint poured onto human figures appear to float...

Mike Shinoda: Glorious Excess (Dies)
Little more than a year after his "Glorious Excess (Born)" exhibit, Mike Shinoda recently released a 128-page book and four skate decks in conjunction with his follow-up show, "Glorious Excess (Dies)," currently on view at L.A.'s Japanese American National Museum.

Bill McMullen: Hype, Hustle, Rip-Off
Bill McMullen is so — I hate to use the word — creative. Widely known as one of the Beastie Boys' graphic designers (we're talking "Hello Nasty" and beyond here), he is also well known for his limited edition "action" figures which were sold at Kidrobot while they lasted. Some people remember the sick designs he did for the seminal skate store, SWISHNYC, while others...
