Gang I

"Growing up I was always jealous of Richie. I only could suck my left thumb, but Richie enjoyed sucking both thumbs. So when I got a cut on my left thumb, I was all "dammit I wish I could suck both my thumbs like you." Richie is my mom's favorite and at one time there were more pictures of his girlfriend in the house than me and my other brother combined. The best part about Rich is that I've never seen him not help someone who needed it and never with reluctance. He is the most genuine person I've met and an excellent cooking partner. He's also a very talented illustrator and I hope that one day, when he is a household name, he will look back upon these positive comments and toss me some dough to buy a houseboat." -Trish Kelly, the artist's sister Phone Booth Gallery began organizing and curating art exhibitions in April 2008. Migrating all around Southern California, and now located on Broadway in Long Beach, we have since become known worldwide for our unique stable of artists, our modest method of operation, and our exceptional selection of printed art editions. The “Originals” section of the site is a small sampling of the work we have available outside of our normal exhibition schedule, but if you are looking for a specific piece or work by a certain artist, we will do our best to fulfill special requests. Many of the artists we work with are available for commissions, and we love working on new projects. 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.
