Danse Macabre show in Belfast this Thursday
July 17 2010
Belfast here I come! I am so psyched for this show and workshop, not to mention some rainy jacket weather. Hope to meet some new Northern Ireland pals at the show. Above is the beginning of the 12 foot long mural piece i've made for the show. Here's all the news that's fit to print, for more info check www.catalystarts.org.uk
Danse Macabre
'The dance of death unites all dancing to the grave’
22nd July – 13th August 2010
Opening 6-9pm Thursday 22nd July 2010.
Catalyst Arts will host a 4 week project, “Danse Macabre,” celebrating the collaborative nature of visual arts and music. The gallery exhibition features Heather Gabel, Martha Colburn, Helen McDonnell & Hornby, whose distinctive dark aesthetics each draw influence from punk rock genres through a diversity of mediums from sculpture and film to collage and tattoo illustration.
The project will also stage off site collaborative performances between Irish musicians Logikparty and US based artist Martha Colburn, and workshops led by Heather Gabel offering participants the opportunity to create their own music and sleeve artwork.
Through these events Catalyst hopes to offer the public a more interactive experience within a gallery context, and to encourage multidisciplinary engagement between various art forms.
Events:
Martha Colburn (16mm film visuals) performing with Logikparty (Dublin based No-Wave band).

She's here!!! Everyone's been asking for this and I could hold out no longer! These are 18"x24" silkscreened prints, a limited edition of 50. Does it bug you guys that everything I make and sell here is always limited edition? Do you ever feel like "Get over it! Make an unlimited, infinite amount already! " Well, it's not going to happen so get used to it...besides , how cool are you feeling when you can say you got one when all your friends are pining after them long after they're gone? Pretty cool I'd imagine. See, it's all for you. I'm doing this all for you. And now I kind of feel like you owe me because this print turned out so fantastic. In the famous words of Janet Jackson (Miss.Jackson if your nasty) "What have you done for me lately?" Well, I know what you've done, you've bought this print! Nicely done fine sirs and ladies.

The designs coupled with the killer Alternative Apparel shirts are too powerful for me to resist. Sound braggy? Tough. I'm so into them. I hope you guys like them too, but if you do, hurry and get yours because I only made 24 of each.

Anyhow, she is also a regular time bandit and has been stealing all mine for the last 3 months but never fear, I've managed to eek out a few new pieces, including this little number here. There is some crafty new stuff in the etsy store, my favorites to date actually, and I'm working on even more which I'll be adding this weekend. I'll be showing some work in a group show at Parlor Gallery in NJ this March and again in another group show at Cult Status in Minneapolis in April. I just marked down the remaining shirts left in the store, there are like 5 left so scoop 'em up so I can get the next batch going! There are only 1 each of the show posters left too so hop to it!

Bric-a-Brac Attack! Sneak peak at some new things in my etsy store.
July 21 2009
I am a maniac crafter on the loose. Seriously, I cannot be stopped. I see crafty avenues unfolding before me at every turn, and simply don't posses the willpower to say "No, I'm working on something else right now. You'll have to wait to be transformed from the blase thrift store item that you currently are until a later date when I am ready to transform you." I just don't have the heart to tell them no. Anyhow, this works out well for everyone else as there is a seemingly endless supply of incredibly affordable, one of a kind, "vintage meets present day me" items in the marketplace for your viewing and collecting pleasure. These are only a few of the new ones I just added to my etsy store. Go to http://heathergabel.etsy.com/ to see the rest.

Summer Sale Blowout! Make way for new Shirts Coming Soon.
July 12 2009
People! I need help to make way for the next line of shirts currently in the works. Here is one of the designs coming soon. There are a nominal amount of items on the endangered species list left from the last run (about 5 shirts and 1 hoody) that are dead set on joining their friends on the extinct list, so, to aid them in this most noble endeavor, I am offering them at rock bottom prices. In fact, prints and paintings have been marked down dramatically as well in an effort to make room for all the new goods I've been readying for you. There are 2 new prints up in the store now, lovelies really, ready and waiting to accept your everlasting admiration and there's plenty more to come once these last few final cobwebs get cleared from the virtual attic...

June 19 2009
These darlings are the fantasy girls of my bizarro summer dreams. In other words, if I were a teenage boy, these would be the girls I followed around, secretly pining for, all summer vacation long. They'd be replaced with more suitable crushes come fall, like the new girl in study hall, but for the summer they would be perfect and all mine. Amazing beauties like the pearl diver (who wouldn't fall for a deep sea diver with a knife at her throat?), the magician's lovely assistant (post failed illusion and still smiling), the forever unattainable 2 headed girl next door who shoots lasers from both her left eyes, the silent movie star who spent the entire summer pouting in an orange blossom hat and the secret assasin bullet bride! I realize it's time to grow up and put these childish notions to rest and am offering them for sale in the store now so that they can be yours for a lifetime instead of just one steamy dreamy summer.

June 5 2009
Folks, I've opened a store on etsy for my "craftier" itmes (ie. things that I wouldn't necessarily put in a gallery show but that are awesome in their own crafty right). I will always post something here for those interested in this type of work so that you'll know when there's new pieces going up in that store. These decorative vintage bird trays are the first items I'm adding, yeah, I'm still on a bird kick...take a closer look at heathergabel.etsy.com
Most of the pieces shown here are up, those that aren't yet will be soon.

A brief and vaguely informative 2009 overview.
February 13 2009
So here's the plan for shows this year...currently planning a show in Mexico City with a possible Cancun add on (spring break anyone?!). I'm in a group show this April in Jersey City (will post the full info on that show soon) and am hammering out the dates in the following cities: NYC, Asbury Park, Denver and Chicago. I'm working on the pieces for the Mexico City show now and will have some up in the new work section within the next couple of days. I'm also planning to co-curate a show with Anna Cerniglia (curator at South Union Arts and allrise gallery, both in Chicago) which I'm really excited about. I also just added a bunch of new pieces to the store and am about to launch a new group of limited edition shirts based loosely on my most popular paintings. The piece to the left is for another collaboration with pal Horsebites for a limited edition print we're doing as a contribution to the Harvest of Hope benefit festival here in St.Augustine this March. Stay tuned for more exciting news to come!

The show will run from October 24th through October 26th and is located at 1370 W. Grand Ave. The opening is Friday October 24th from 7-10 pm. Gallery hours for Saturday and Sunday are 11-6 pm. For more info check the gallery's website www.allrisegallery.com or call 312 226 9292. This promises to be a really great show, the diversity of the work should make it a real treat. Ed does amazing oil paintings of land/cityscapes. Damara makes collages and drawings of beautiful fantastical situations, very unique stuff, and Micheal's piece is reminiscent of Henry Darger's fantasyland collages but with his own twist, incorporating nostalgic Americana imagery. And I'm very excited about the pieces I'm working on for the show. It's a new series, musing on ladies/natural selection and various phenomenons involving the two. I can't wait to see them finished side by side altogether at the show. All of us (the artists) are really excited to be showing our work together and will be present at the opening so please come and see what we've created for your viewing pleasure!
