FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - “Rocktober” A Group Art Exhibition Celebrating the Raw Power of Rock in All Its Forms

Hermosa Beach, CA – October 18, 2025 – Gallery of Hermosa is proud to present “Rocktober,” a dynamic new group exhibition opening October 18, 2025. The show celebrates the strength, resilience, and raw beauty of rock in all its forms. Whether as music that moves generations, stone that shapes our earth, or cultural symbols that ground our shared history.

Bringing together a diverse lineup of painters, illustrators, sculptors, photographers, and mixed media artists, Rocktober explores how “rock” resonates across time and disciplines. Each artist interprets “rock” through their own lens: some honor music’s rebellious spirit, others look to the geological foundations beneath our feet, while still others explore rock as metaphor—representing strength, memory, and transformation.

The exhibition is guest juried and curated by John Geldbach of DDR Projects, a respected curator and gallerist based in Long Beach. Geldbach is known for championing contemporary and emerging artists. Through DDR Projects, he has built a reputation for thoughtful exhibitions that connect community, culture, and creativity.

A special appearance will also be made by Mike Longacre of Mike’s Guitar Parlor in Hermosa Beach, who will be at the opening reception. He founded Mike’s Guitar Parlor in 2014 and has built a loyal following among local musicians through his repair, customization, and retail services.

A few were for sale on tour as well but these extra-special painted versions were premiere gifts to friends and family of Adam. Cast in "Tiffany blue" colored vinyl with silver glitter embedded throughout and silver painted details, these feature signed header cards, stickers and a write up celebrating Adam and the release of This Consequence. Never available to the public until now and limited to only 4 pieces for sale. For the ultimate KsE collector. $75 each...made in Japan...painted in the USA. Not intended for children under 14 years old.

 More HELL-O-WEEN updates soon.

VALENTINE'S DAY 2025 SURPRISE

DHP has fallen into a pattern of having HELL-O-WEEN be the big toy release event each year. That hasn't changed, but this year an opportunity popped up to team up with some talented folks - (BOOM!) and (BOOM!!) - who are also old school collector's, customizer's and maker's in their own right. So get ready for a super fun "Thrice Times Heartbreak" blind bag collaboration due to hit the Devils Head web shop on February 14th. Just a teaser for now but I'll update this thread as we get closer to the release.

UPDATE:

These Mad Monk figures have been painted by Devils Head Productions, Scum Pit Toys, and Hellopike and appear to have lost at love a few times over. Which love warrior will you get? Grab one or a few since these are packaged as blind bags with header card and stickers. $75 each...made in Japan, painted in the USA. Not intended for children under 14 years old.

COLLECTORS NOTE: Even though these are blind bags, orders of 3 or more are guaranteed at least 2 variants.
