The Shop at the Elysian Presents The Art of Robert Dayton

Viewing hours: every night from 7pm-10:30pm! (if the half door happens to be shut, someone will come open it for you) and all the work is FOR SALE! 1944 Riverside Drive, LA, CA
ABOUT:
What would an art show at The Elysian, an independent Los Angeles comedy theatre that's often described as "daring and unpredictable" with lots of clowning, look like? Come find out! The Shop at the Elysian is pleased as punch to present its very first art show! His work is also appropriate (though some may say it deals with subject matter that may be 'inappropriate') to do a show of the work of Robert Dayton who hosts The Birthday Experience which happens monthly in the Elysian Vault next door) as his original work for the show features playful pen-and-ink and brightly colored painted works on paper that he has loosely deemed 'erotic art' that stumblingly tries to eliminate repression -there's a clown or two ambiguously shifting into bodily organs. Art, it’s funny. Besides original works, there are multiples with brand new "I had all the orgasms" t-shirts and "new baby" greeting cards, along with copies of his "Cold Glitter: The Untold Story Of Canadian Glam" (published by Feral House) and "The Empty Bed" books, and more!

ARTIST BIO:
Robert Dayton is a multi-disciplinary artist, writer, and performer. Comedy? Yes. His visual art and writings have appeared in numerous places, etc. Robert's latest book “Cold Glitter: The Untold Story Of Canadian Glam” is published by Feral House. His previous books are "The Empty Bed", a pen-and-ink art and humor heartbreak book published by Impulse[b] and "The Canadian Romantic by The Canadian Romantic" art book published by Pitt Projects/Publication Studios. As The Canadian Romantic, he manifests as a series of videos, performances, and more to make people in Canada and elsewhere feel more attractive since 2010. More recently, he's been putting on The Birthday Experience event at The Elysian Vault with very talented people and a screening series called “Uh Oh Canadia” at Whammy. His other projects include one-man-band Robert Dayton & the Beach Boys, song-and-dance duo Canned Hamm, multi-piece concept group July Fourth Toilet, and romantic Glam act Hallmark. He once starred in a movie called “Male Fantasy.” Destroyer has written songs about him. He gets bad chronic sinus pain aggravated by barometric pressure shifts.

Chase Montana: From Fatherhood to Fame

Hi! I have been having a pretty wild time appearing as “ warm up comic” in the Hollywood Fringe show “Chase Montana: From Fatherhood to Fame” starring Chase Montana and by Jason Flood and Andrew Yankers. There are 3 more shows Mon eve June 22, Wed eve June 24 and Sunday afternoon June 28. Tix here:

 https://www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/12259?tab=tickets

Zorro has been appearing and MJ and Clinton and T***p along with a LOT of mannequins (simulated sex)! Zorro (pictured) has been in a few Neil Breen movies!

Plot: “Chase Montana tells his son Jeffy the tale about how he got famous enough to host SNL! This unfiltered,uncensored, and unauthorized look into the seedy underbelly of one our nation’s most respected instiutions will leave you speechless and wondering if fame is worth the price of admission.”

Drawings for Whammy Analog

Whammy Analog Media asked me to make art for all of their May screenings. I was tickled to do so and here's all the images. The Sato double bill is happening this Saturday, May 30th which is also my birthday soooo what better way to celebrate than with some intense perverted Pinku art exploitation movies! The other images here already screened and are real doozies!

I did start a Substack and now I feel like burning it down to the ground. Is Substack evil? Weigh in. I know what they say about ethical consumption. Besides, I am tired. Two more books are written and looking for a publisher. The hustle keeps going. Do I need validation? Give it a rest. I may delete my whole substack account, so read now:

Also, I have been making erotic art and selling it for cheap, 99 bucks! Mailed discreetly. I updated my website and added other stuff for sale too. Check it all out here:

2025 Recap in our asses

Oh! I forgot to do that "2025 Recap" that I saw people do: like many people, 2025 was incredibly difficult and painful but there were some really good things (and great friendships). My anxiety is getting worse. I'm so tired of trying my best.
