Happycloud Thunderhead Monsters at Cranky Yellow
The “Meth and Hot Dogs: A Collection of Unscrupulous Characters” show at Cranky Yellow was one part thrift/craft superstore, one part art gallery, and two parts fun! Daniel’s paintings were hung in a great location with a lot of traffic, and even though we’re biased, they were the show favorites of my wife and I. Superfun Yeah Yeah Rocketship was there to perform, which was pretty hilarious and great. In any case, it looked like a good turnout, and people were having a good time, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if a lot of the work sold before the exhibition comes to a close. Daniel, we’re planning on going back when there’s less of a crowd, so if there are any other shots that you’d like, just let me know (I figured that you had these each documented, so I didn’t concentrate on getting the paintings individually). More after the jump.
Angelo, one of Cranky Yellow’s evil geniuses.

Thanks, I got back from another opening tonight, and posted pics from that show on my STL blog, hoursofidleness.wordpress.com. Check them out if you are interested!

Wicked cool! I’m glad you had a good time. Thank you for taking pictures. I’m not sure what to think about the guy in in the tiger hat, but I’m guessing his act is pretty goofy and entertaining. I’d love to see more pics of the other art they had and how it was hung. The venue is not what I had pictured, but I know they moved since the last show I was involved in there. Crazy, I wish I could have been there.

Hi Daniel, I was looking up Cranky Yellow’s hours when I found this Flickr set by Kill Taupe. I think it pretty much sums up what else was there. The upstairs is set up more like a store and had a lot of general whatnots, but he pretty much covered the basement gallery, which is I think what you were looking for.
Best-
Jason
