Here's a few things to do and read this week.

A New Old Art Blog
About a year ago, much to our chagrin, Eric Zimmerman, an Austin-based artist and frequent contributor to …might be good, shut down his much-loved art blog. Fortunately for us, he’s at it again, so put him back in your feed reader.

An Exhibition Esther Pearl Watson's latest paintings, framed in reclaimed barn wood by her grandfather's favorite framer, are full of magic, it's easy to overlook the darker side of these narrative paintings (boys running for their lives from a bull at the rodeo, a flying saucer catching on fire). But Watson's new book, Unloveable, a compilation of her serialized comic in Bust magazine, makes the angst almost inescapable.
Domy Books, through July 23

An Opening
Ice Cold, a solo show by Cruz Ortiz, and I am not so different, a photography show curated by Rachel Cook, take over Art Palace next Saturday. Two very different shows, but both extremely promising.
Art Palace, Saturday, June 27, 8-10pm
