The burtal labor, sour thoughts, lucid exploits, and eventual addictions of the hollow (calloused Geist settles for less than), the new body of work by Amos Oaks opened this past Friday.  It was a beautiful night with a full moon and a packed house.  Black Licorice Blues came together wonderfully and was the perfect backdrop to glue the work.  A full documentation of the show will be available soon.  The selected image is from the piece "Laborers".

The location for The brutal labor, sour thoughts, lucid exploits, and eventual addictions of the hollow (calloused Geist settles for less than), the new body of work by Amos Oaks, has been set.  The show features 10 new works installed at 611 East Depot Avenue - Knoxville, TN 37917 and will be viewable from 7:00 pm - 12:00 am on Friday, April 6, 2012.  The performing of Black Licorice Blues will begin at 9:00 pm.  The location is directly across the street from the Knoxville Opera Company and diagonal to Marble City Brewery.  Propaganda was made all afternoon and will be distributed to the citizens of Knox County.

Licorice Life Issue #1 has been ready for a couple of weeks, but we've been neck deep in a variety of production that caused the site to get neglected.  Here's a shot with Licorice Life casually placed with other coffee table books that might make you a more interesting person.  There are probably blogs out there that will instruct you on how to shop at thrift stores, garage sales, and junk shops to find books like these to litter your dwelling with.  Head to the Kitschen and get your copy before they get consumed.

Pulling out some older flavors to promote the new body of work by Amos Oaks.  This loop was from a 2009 show.

A new monthly publication, LICORICE LIFE, will be available soon through Chocolate Shores.  Each issue will be limited to 100 copies and may be obtained at a discount rate for a yearly subscription.  Check back next week to place your order.
