The Soda Gallery is happy to be the exclusive retail shop to carry Jonathon Kimbrell’s relaunched and revamped ‘Deathray of Sunshine’ clothing line, and to kick off the Summer relaunch festivities, we have this exclusive glow-in-the-dark ‘Frank Is Wired For Sound’ shirt and print set!

The shirt and print set is only limited to an edition of 30, both hand printed using non-toxic water based inks. The shirt is available in sizes S-XL, while the print measures 10″ x 10″ and is S/N. Wear the art while you frame it and hang it, too!

The Soda Gallery will also be offering more exclusive designs from Kimbrell and ‘Deathray of Sunshine’ over the coming months. Kimbrell plans to continue offering limited edition releases of both shirt and print sets, making them more fun to collect and wear. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled to our blog, Facebook page and Twitter feed for those release announcements.

In other Kimbrell news, his tribute to Andy Warhol art exhibit, “Wargasm,” ends its run today. We’d like to take the opportunity to personally thank everyone who made this month long show a real success, not only in attending the art opening and closing receptions, but in also spreading the word about our shop/gallery. It’s because of you guys that makes our shop special, and us working hard to improve our offerings and atmosphere on a daily basis.

Before we sign off, we hope to see you at our next art opening, “Malice in McDonaldland” featuring the steam punk work of Dallas’ own Joey Seeman. Opening reception happens Saturday, May 8th from 7-11pm. We’ll have music, drinks and some killer art by Joey. Come hang out, meet the artist and have a good time! Exhibition runs through June 13th.

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Last night were were happy to host TSG Art Director Jonathon Kimbrell’s latest art show, “Wargasm: A Tribute to Andy Warhol” to a packed house.

As ‘April 1st’ is usually reserved for pranks and shenanigans, this year proved to be another story, as the latest art exhibit to grace the walls of The Soda Gallery had people filing in and out of our doors all evening. Couple the art show with the Bishop Arts District’s third go at a “Wine Walk”, where patrons can go from shop to shop sampling wines, the streets were full of curious people and Oak Cliff natives. Typically, if our shop if full of people for several hours on end during a new art event, we find it to be quite the success. Last night’s opening was no different!

Below are a few sample images of Kimbrell’s homage to pop art icon, Andy Warhol:

If you missed out on the opening last night, no worries. You’ll have an opportunity to catch the encore opening during the 2nd Annual Oak Cliff Art Crawl, April 10-11, 2010, where The Soda Gallery is one of the selected stops on the route, and Kimbrell will be unveiling even more work during his month long celebration of the work of Andy Warhol. Our business hours during Art Crawl is (Sat.) 11a-11p and (Sun.) 11a-8p.

In addition to new pieces being unveiled, Kimbrell will also be offering a limited edition “Wargasm” show poster, available exclusively during the Art Crawl. Each poster will be hand printed, signed and numbered (edition of 25) and will cost only $25 per poster. Half the proceeds from the poster sales will go back into the funding for next years’ Oak Cliff Art Crawl. Poster measures 12.5″ x 19″ and is suitable for framing.

“Wargasm” continues through May 4th.

Many apologies for those who were looking forward to the screen printing demo on March 4th. I was dealing with a terrible sinus infection in the days leading up to the scheduled demo, so I needed to reschedule for tonight. Join me at The Soda Gallery starting around 8pm, as I’ll be printing up advert posters for my upcoming art exhibition, “Wargasm: A Tribute to Andy Warhol.” The demo will be pretty informal, however, I’ll show you guys just how easy it is to set up your own silk screen outfit on a very small budget. Hand made is the way to go! Demo will lat until about 10pm, or until I run out of paper…

Thanks,
Jonathon Kimbrell
