Here's What People
Are Saying About Hyaena:
DO YOUR BALLS ITCH? What is irritating you so much to make you
so hateful
by bashing my brother? I feel sorry for you and think that you
should take up knitting
instead of criticizing art and the artists that actually have
talent, unlike yourself.
He should be making even more money for the art that he creates
from his lovely imagination!!
LORI RYDEN, sister of famous
person - October 9, 2009
horribly rendered shock art that
is impotent. That's the critique of most
of the pieces that spew from your gallery.
RICK DIETZ, graphic designer
(I'm guessing) - June 17, 2010
And here's
some press....
Having the Last Laugh - Works in eclectic
Burbank art gallery make one squirm — and wonder.
By Melonie Magruder
Burbank
Leader - Published on November 14, 2009
"If that sounds too Goth-centric, it’s
not. It’s more a sly commentary on underground rebellion
and the timeless pleasures afforded by B movies of the 1950s,
a keen pursuit of the three-year-old gallery’s proprietor,
Bill Shafer." |
Fiendishly Cute: How MySpace, Gothic Lolita and Pop Surrealism
Influenced Dienzo's Vampires.

Weekly - Published on May 18, 2009
"For his first solo show at Hyaena, the
Burbank gallery that champions dark and subversive art,
artist Rick "Dienzo" Blanco looked towards a favorite
subject of his youth, vampires, for
inspiration." |
Juxtapalooza - The Lowbrow sickness continues to spread, from
Burbank to Laguna
By Doug Harvey
LA
Weekly - Published on September 09, 2008
"With the rough edges that gave Lowbrow
its outlaw reputation smoothed out by this newfound
common ground with the family-values set, and the Art World bending
over to assimilate it,
maybe the Juxtapoz juggernaut has arrived at an impasse. Totems,
totems everywhere. But
where's the taboo? Turns out it's in Burbank. Hyaena, a little
goth boutique/Lowbrow gallery on
Olive Avenue, has become embroiled in controversy due to its
most recent show (which closed
September 5). Harkening back to the formative dynamics of the
Lowbrow scene, Hyaena is
very much community oriented, providing a venue for several dozen
local junior Juxtapozers,
while maintaining an edge by selling artworks by such controversial
figures as Charles Manson
and John Wayne Gacy." |

Magazine - May 9, 2008
"Tucked away in the serene community of Burbank, a treasure
trove of eclectic goodies and art exists within the four walls
of the Hyaena Boutique and Gallery. Hyaena's head honcho, Bill
Shafer, has successfully created an unpretentious, artist-friendly
environment where you can indulge your darker side without breaking
the bank." |

many portraits done of her husband." |
