RUDE REC CENTER THIRD SESSION




Third painting session recently completed with Lookout Mountain and Third Way. Really has been a blast to see everyone progress and excel at painting the different stages of the mural in the pool area at Rude Rec.

Progress courtesy of the men and women at Lookout and Third Way, our next painting session is this Tuesday, and I am very excited to see the mural come to a finish.

The unveiling of the mural will be held on June 27th, at Rude Rec Center, and will be included in a day of fun for all in the Sun Valley community. Look forward to that as well!

After the Nuggets have tied the series up at a game each, all I have to say is:

ART FUNK 2009


In early May I was invited to help participate in a live painting exhibition with the finished art being auctioned to support Denver and Jeffco public schools. Here is the sketch for the painting I was going to create, however a schedule conflict came up, but I wanted to post the artwork because its a great example of organic lettering and concept typography. Special thanks to Alternate Decision Clothing, and Dan Conerd for the opportunity.

ART CRANK 2009~ COLLABO




In early April, the Plastic Chapel in cohorts with numerous other crankheads, produced ArtCrank a bicycle inspired poster show. I had the great opportunity to collabo with fellow Magnet Mafioso Harrison Nealey to produce an incredible laser etched poster which can be seen on the right in the top photo. I will be posting the final poster piece soon, in the meantime enjoy the black on flourescent green.

SKATE DECK SHOW 2009



The latest installment of the skate deck art show is right around the corner. Sponsored by Indy Ink, Thrifty Stick, and Plastic Chapel the event has proven to be a great time, and a cool showcase for skate art. This event took a one year hiatus I believe, but is now back on track, and I am excited to produce the second issue of clown cannon, a running theme of clown cronies who as you can see from the last edition, enjoy the demise of eachother. Get your deck at any of the sponsor locations and get busy. Check back for more.

RUDE REC CENTER PROGRESS


Painting has begun at Rude Rec Center in Denver's Sun Valley. Full sketch was placed down first in order to allow students a makeshift blueprint to work the initial stages of color into the mural.
Full color has been applied in its beginning stages, with the majority of painting being executed by Lookout Mountain and Third Way students.
An extremely rewarding and satisfactory experience for all involved. More progress to come each week. Photos courtesy of Jeremy Ulibarri.
