My INSIDE HER tee design is now on sale for 24 hours until midnight tonight at TeeInvaders for only $9! This is my breakdown of the human anatomy layers in a CMYK style. From brain to bone each layer is defined by either cyan, magenta, yellow, or black. She looks devilishly good on the silver tees. A huge thanks to Cheeto over there for getting her to the press!

Working with a non-profit is always gratifying. This is especially true when this organization is one that pushes creative knowledge and culture of the arts into the public through all-ages venues. The Vera Project has been exceptional in bringing some of the greatest local and national musicians to the non-discriminate age groups in Seattle since its inception. Vera has expanded its programs and studios to provide classes and workshops for young aspiring artists who want to learn more about traditional arts, modern techniques, audio engineering, and engage in shows and the “Vera Culture” through volunteering as well.

As an active member on the programming and silk-screen committees for Vera I have had numerous opportunities to put in my worth as a local creative and share my knowledge and experience to better this grass-roots non-profit with a sheer volume of mass intellect and integrity. The staff at Vera and the committees are diligent in creating positive experiences with every department drive whether it be music, gallery, or focus group activities. A most recent event produced in conjunction with the silk-screening department was Swap It. Spin It. Bring It. Screen It. No experience is necessary to silkscreen, and for just $5 a print, Vera silkscreen instructors helped attendees print one of the logos on any fabric item they bring

It was my pleasure to produce an original Vera logo design for this event which reflected the core of Vera’s mission and culture. A Fender body-style guitar blooming out into a tree seemed most fitting. Everything from the roots (grass roots) to the organic nature of the design while incorporating this iconic instrument was a true ode to Vera’s most indelible Pacific Northwest appeal. Music is an expressive outlet that gives youth a creative focus that enables innovative growth and facilitates the genius spark of young minds today.

On December 12th, The Vera Project, Seattle’s non-profit, all-ages music and arts venue, and Hollow Earth Radio, Seattle’s premier online independent radio station, joined forces to host a one-of-a-kind fundraiser and holiday extravaganza: Swap It. Spin It. Bring It. Screen It. The Vera Project is transforming into a marketplace for independent music and crafts, along with live music, and interactive silkscreening. All proceeds helped to support music, art presentation, and arts education through the Vera Project and Hollow Earth Radio.

The DIY marketplace featured independent Northwest record and cassette labels, musicians, silk-screened show posters, vintage record dealers, local artists, craft-makers, and designers selling their wares throughout Vera’s venue. This afforded members and the public a perfect opportunity to find a one-of-a-kind gift just in time for the holidays. The event also included live musical performances by Northwest musicians, Hollow Earth DJs spinning, a bake sale, a raffle for hand-printed posters, and an eclectic gathering of local indie-creatives.

They are officially in and hot off the press! The first in a series of limited edition collectible tees from Beery Method’s premium clothing line Coalesce is Rubix Dude. The tattooish line art design that is reminiscent of a Shiva-like/Simpson’s character gone over to the netherworld of decay is brimming with bitter-sweet madness straight from my eclectic mind. Rubix Dude hails from my Hobo Eaters series of characters that will be launched this spring so keep your eyes peeled as I will be unveiling new apparel in the coming months for this fantastic series.

Bringing holiday cheer to all that come out to the Greenwood Collective is a simple pleasure. Kevin Law, owner of Urban Light Studios/Gallery, invited myself along with 11 other fantastic local Seattle artists back to the gallery to display some of our best work with some special holiday sale pricing. This gallery is an amazing space that’s especial stripped aesthetic look really adds to the urban compliment of the work chosen for display. Kevin and Julie are wonderful promoters and the Greenwood Collective building is a radical space to say the least.

One Year Anniversary Show at Urban Light Studios

Located on the bottom floor you will find all the artist niches, studios, and workspace/galleries that are divided up nicely among the resident artisans and creatives. The first floor is divided into themed rooms that are clever and invoke a great sense of wonderment and surprise as you travel from one space to the next. The upper rooms include a tiki bar theme complete with a life-size stuffed lion, an extremely ornate oriental tea room with hand carved furniture, and even a log cabin room that was once the set from Northern Exposure. The rest of the first floor are common areas for the artists and visitors to congregate and visit, have refreshments, and soak in the opulence of eccentric novelty.

It is a real enjoyment to be a part of this “come-back” show and give special pricing for the holiday shopping art lovers. All the artists and spaces are deeply trenched in the Pacific Northwest Style of unique decadence. If your in Seattle this week come out to the Greenwood Collective, enjoy some fine wine, and snag some original paintings by Beery Method to gift or adorn your own modern space!

New works for sale for this holiday season at the Greenwood Collective. Myself along with fellow Seattle artists will be dishing out a huge dose of aesthetic goodness. Stop by this salon exhibit and pick up some rad gifts for your moms, pops, cuz, kids, or simply something sweet for yourself. All work is priced for the gifting season. The Beery Method will have some great new wood-media pieces that explore some crazy characters done in ink, wood stain, wood burning, and screen printing.

Beginning the month of December in a fitting way I am part of a group show at the Flatcolor Gallery which is themed on artist’s interpretation of the coming year 2010. This show is a smattering of killer artists from the Pacific NW and down the West Coast. To say the least it is gonna be a hell of a show that is provocative in the nature of what is to come in the soon to be turn of a decade.

My piece for the show is a character based oil painting titled “Rubix Dude”. The dude is my communal ode to our ubiquitous nature of being creatures of habit. 2010 will be a year filled once again with our habits, rituals, comforts, and supreme piety of being. The idea that no matter what the future holds we will all still be in the throws of our daily routines and perpetually playing the “game” of life is one that is consistent in conserving our balance within an utterly chaotic world of perpetual change. We are here as ghosts already sitting in a wasteland of habits, consolation, and maintaining our virtues as individuals in a very congealed world of mass ideas and invocations. Our connections to the ethereal plane of subconsciousness is uprooted by our lackadaisical distractions brought about by technology and collective social destruction.  “Tempest Rituals of Virtuous Decadence”…reads the stars.

The exhibition will run from December 3rd, 2009 through January 2nd 2010. Head down to Pioneer Square / Downtown Seattle to see this amazing exhibition.
