Joe Ledbetter will open Aerophobia, his first ever solo in Taiwan, this Friday, November 14th (opens at 1:30 PM, products go on sale @ 6 PM) at Paradise Toys in Taipei. As the title suggests, the show is all about the fear of flying. Whether you’re interested in art, toys, or maybe a Tee — Joe’s got you covered. No guarantees for curing your Aerophobia though. To tide you over until the show, we’ve got a nice sneak preview complete with pics (after the jump).
For the art collector, there will be a large number of drawings, several original paintings, and two prints — Taipei (11″ x 14″, ed. of 50, above ) and Ringo 101 (8″ x 6″, ed. of 35).
For the toy collector, Paradise will drop three show exclusives — matching Red n’ Black versions of Sluggonadon, Gamerita, and Hammerhead (runs of 50 each) from intheyellow. Paradise will also release 3 different Tees which we believe are limited to 50 pieces each.
Joe will be doing two signing sessions — one on Friday from 7:30 to 9:30 PM and the second on Saturday (15th) from 2 to 4 PM. This is a rare chance to meet Joe in Taiwan and a great opportunity to purchase original art. For more, check out the show info on Paradise’s blog.

Since we posted the flier forc Creation Mutation solo show opening on Saturday, October 25th [7-10 PM] @ M Modern we’ve been wanting to see more. We recently had the pleasure of an early look at Michelle’s numerous wood sculptures for the show and are revealing a few here as an exclusive sneak peek.
We’re happy to say that unlike a movie trailer, the flier was just a hint of the goodness to come. The two-headed giraffe and siamese barbershop dudes on the flier were just the beginning of the DNA bending outbreak. Michelle’s got plenty of great stuff waiting in the wings. She’s taken the concept of twisted animals and run with it across several different pieces for her own spin on the wild kingdom. Unlike her previous work which often featured complete scenes this new work offers focused looks at her characters.
The two-headed purple hippo with a feathered passenger (above) is one of our faves in part due to the huge ivories – all the better to chomp swimmers with! Sticking with the aquatic theme of this preview, the dual-headed Alligator offers a very different yet equally cool ‘look’ – angular and boxy lines replace the curves of the hippo.
There’s plenty more gene splitting action in store for you at the opening of Creation Mutation on October 25th @ M Modern. Keep watching Vinyl Pulse for another preview as we get closer – can’t show you everything all at once now, can we ?
