Milo Goes To College (The Descendants)

Come one, come all to Flower Pepper Gallery on Saturday, November 8th, for the opening of our new group exhibition, For the Love of Music, curated by Urban Vinyl Daily! For The Love of Music is a collection of works dedicated to the soundtracks of our lives, featuring 12" x 12" pieces inspired by classic album covers. Each piece is sized to represent the quintessential 12" album jacket, portraying precisely how each of these artistic interpretations would appear in production as album art. Music has inspired all of us in some form or another whether it be via a favorite musician, song, or album, there is something beautiful that happens that surpasses all and stimulates creativity. Through history music has greatly inspired and informed artists and we hope that this nice juxtaposition of art and music inspires you! Born in Pingtung, Taiwan and based out of Chicago, Illinois, Veggiesomething (a.k.a. James Liu) has loved art and design for as long as he can remember. His artworks have been seen throughout the world via numerous art shows and exhibitions and have been featured in various publications and media outlets. His designer vinyl toys have also been sold around the world at contemporary museum shops, art galleries, and other finer designer shops. Thus far, Veggiesomething has created nine character lines (FIZZIEFUZZIE, House of Liu, United by Destruction!, Sugar Bandits, Debonair Rascal, Cash & Carry, the PRESENTERS, Atomic Apples, and Chunky Fries) and one concept label (Killerslayer). These creative endeavors often highlight his love for modular designs that are bold, clean, clear, and concise. Acrylic paint is fast drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.
