Feb 22nd: Seed Gallery (Newark, NJ) Show Feat. PaperMonster

------------------------------------------------------------

Newark's Seed Gallery (www.newarkseed.com) is having an upcoming performance event this Friday, Feb 22nd from 8pm-3am. Gezim invited me to join the gallery and put some new pieces up. The actual gallery space is fantastic. It is huge. I put together a good range of pieces and prints using some freshly cut stencils and new patterns. The show will feature DJs, Drumming and Dancing, Projections, Videos, and many other performances as well as art installations. Here are the details of the show:
239 Washington Street
Newark, NJ 07102
8pm-3am
$20 at door $16 with flyer

If you are in the area or are free on a Friday night head on over to the gallery and party!!! Here are some pictures of the hanging. Will be a great show!!

(click on the flyer to view more details)

This is a new stencil that I have been working on. It is so powerful. I will be making new sticker with just a black and white image of the foreground stencil.

Gezim provided me a perfect space. As soon as you enter the gallery BAMN side right wall.

These are four prints that I put together. All unique and 1 of 1, with each using an unique pattern. The canvas of the general is also new and it looks amazing up close.

Hanging paintings on brick is so hard. Especially when you bang your finger with a hammer.
Enjoy!!

Art Whino Gallery Show Opening!!! Images and Video

------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------
I recently had a gallery opening for a group show at Art Whino (artwhino.com) in Alexandria, Va over the weekend. It was amazing. I was able to meet a ton of great people and I was extremely surprised at the ridiculous turn out of people. The actual gallery itself is massive with at everywhere from the hallways to the bathrooms. It is very impressive and so professional. The staff at Art Whino and the owners have done a great job and have brought an incredible art scene to that area. I gave out PaperMonster stickers the entire night and everyone had a great time. The gallery even had a live painting session feat J. Coleman. The solo show room was also massive. As you can see above, there is a video of the opening that I put together from the group show. I didn't have a chance to get footage of all the artist in the show but it gives you a good taste of what to expect. Be sure to check out the show if your are in the area or view images of works in the show at artwhino.com. Thank you to everyone who can and showed some love, and stay posted for news on upcoming projects and shows!!!


Art Whino banners everywhere!! They run the city!!These were the paintings from PaperMonster that were in the show.

It was really nice to see a good number of people excited about all of the forms of art on display.

A shot of the live painting by J. Coleman. It was so loud you could feel the floor vibrate. Amazing.


People really gravitated to Whirlwind on the left. I think it was the stickers!!
