ODD FAMILIARS: ART BY HOLLY CONRAD
FRIDAY, MARCH 7th
BEGINNING @ 7pm

We are very happy to welcome Holly Conrad back to SHQ! She shared some of her friends with us at her Monster Tea Party in 2011, and now we are stoked to welcome a whole new group of friendly creatures! There will be drawings, sculptures, and prints for sale and, knowing Holly, lots of surprises in store.

Come join the SHQ crew, Holly, and her freaky buddies for a drink on Friday, March 7th.

Smokin’ Bones: Art By Reginald Péan

SMOKIN’ BONES: ART BY REGINALD PÉAN
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7th
BEGINNING AT 7pm

Reginald Péan was born and raised in Queens. We’ve heard that Reginald sleeps in a coffin. A coffin made of wizard bones. He wears a black hooded bathrobe around town. It’s made of terry cloth. When Reginald goes bowling, it’s with an actual crystal ball. He has an extensive collection of googly-eyed Pink Panthers. All of this sorcery has helped to inform Reginald’s art. His images of black panthers and women along side his delightful Grim Creeper are eerie and humorous.

Secret Headquarters is proud to have Reginald Péan’s wonderfully sinister work on display for the month of February. We will have Smokin’ Bones, a zine collecting Péan’s work, as well as a limited edition patch designed exclusively for SHQ.

Enjoy drinks and possibly a fog machine starting at 7pm. Perhaps Reginald got himself an airplane ticket to join us.

You can check out more of his work here.
