Known for his famous tattoo designs and illustrations, Southern California native Don Ed Hardy graced Ventura with his presence at The Silvia White Gallery for a book signing of his new book “2000 Dragons”. The photograph above shows a scroll which Hardy painted is where the illustration of his book came from. Also on view is a survey of prints, done over the last 10 years. All the work relays Hardy's familiar sophisticated visuals with a painterly intensity. As an added bonus, Hardy has designed a print, unique to this exhibition, as a tribute to the city of Ventura: California's New Art City. There where a limited number of signed prints available for purchase. All proceeds from the sales will be donated to the new Ventura Museum of Art. You can view Hardy’s work at the Silvia White Gallery up untill April 25, 2009.
