The art exhibit “Familiar Spirits” is the result of the forced collaboration between artists Matt Furie and Aiyana Udesen. “The Empress of Minor Demons (Aiyana) and I, Lord of Moldovia, did not choose to work together. I had no choice,” says Furie, jokingly…we think. Whatever the motivation, the Austin-based artists put together colorful illustrations of beasts, rodents, wizards and smoking paraphernalia. “Aiyana will draw a mouse, then I’ll put it on the shoulder of a witch, then Aiyana will paint in the background,” Furie says. “Aiyana- will draw a head and I’ll give it a body.” The opening reception for “Familiar Spirits” is Friday, March 20, from 7 to 9 p.m. Regular viewing hours are noon to 8 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays. Through April 19. Domy, 1709 Westheimer. For information, call 713-523-3669 or visit www.domystore.com. Free.
