"Scerd" - A first art show by Lelah Maupin (release/preview!)

2011-11-12T10:21:00.000-08:00

"Scerd" is the first art show by Lelah Maupin, a local artist and musician who has long occupied Seattle's young creative community. She is the drummer in a band called TacocaT, but has always mixed in her artistic endevours when and where she could- doing posters, record cover art, and tour diaries. Recently, she blossomed on a project doing a banner for her band where she used her knowledge of typography, color theory, and composition to create an instantly recognizable visual identity. After carting it around the United States on tour a few times and doing another banner for a private commission, Maupin has returned to Seattle to open a show of banners expressing far more personal thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Each banner as a piece will be seen as small fragments of her humor and personality but taken as a whole all of the pieces will reflect a enormous self portrait of Maupin's brain. The beauty of the show overall will be that doing such visual typography pieces, Maupin strips any misinterpretation; every one of the pieces speaking volumes with a few simple words.

Get stoked!

JUST ANNOUNCED! CMRTYZ presents.. New Works by Lelah Maupin

CMRTYZ + Lady Bree presents..

VILE BODIES - New Works by Martha Hipley

live music by

UPDATE!

Woven Bones
My Teenage Stride
Easter Vomit
Teen Witch

DJ set by OJ XRAY EYEBALLS

In the spirit of alternative art spaces, VILE BODIES will use the space and the audience as part of the art experience. In a carefully coordinated performance, the audience becomes the medium of change in what, to all outer appearances, is just another Brooklyn mashup of live music, video art, videogames, and booze over a backdrop of disregarded art.

How can traditional painting compete against such compelling distractions? This installation by artist Martha Hipley challenges the notion that the artist must fight to win an audience by embracing these distractions as part of a larger experiment. In paintings that combine modern technology with traditional technique, the art becomes interactive and responsive to its attentive (or inattentive) audience, destroying itself over the span of the event in a plea for attention. In this way the distractions of the space become essential to the message of the work- that environment is everything.

YO DUDES! So, out here again in NYC to organize another show. This one is in Williamsburg and I hope you come!

WALGREENS
an art installation by
Cassie Ramone

thursday, march 3
6pm-9pm

For this art show Cassie (vivian girls, the babies) is installing an aisle of Walgreens - not a realistic, actual aisle but rather a "super-aisle" filled with products sold at big-name drugstores that she's attracted to. So far, items for inspiration are:
boxes of hair dye, waxing/hair removal products, fake nails/eyelashes, Hanes t-shirts and underwear, condoms, cosmetics aisle items such as lipstick and nail polish, chapstick, the magazine rack, Ziploc bags, As Seen On TV products, fungal cream, wrist braces, and surely there will be many more to come. Thick lines on the wall to represent "shelves" and on pricing- the pieces will be determined by moving the decimal point on the actual product over one (if a box of hair dye is $8.99 the piece will be $89).

Come to Party!

there will be an after party as well with tunes from Cassie Ramone
more details to come

YAH!

job hunt distraction

2011-01-18T20:13:00.000-08:00

While walking all around Seattle and applying for real jobs, at entry level, with minimal responsibility but steady income- CMR went into Urban Outfitters to see if they were hiring. They weren't. But he grabbed one of their FREE catalogs and while working on other projects, decided to waste 2 hours redo'ing some of the pages. Here's the result.

FYI some of the "result" is due to shotty Kinko's scanners. It isn't truly ~that~ blown out.

This is for our buddy and PsySum compadre, John Malta! Check him out as we love him so much.

This is going into a frame and will be lovingly bubble wrapped and sent to NYC when he gets into his new spot.

The Guide to Staying Productive.

2010-12-17T15:17:00.000-08:00

This lives on my wall by my door:

It is what I use to remain 'feisty,' and 'eager,' and 'sharp.'

It is a simple guide that I will run you through.

Be a Little Depressed: Just like working hungry, a slight bit of depression adds realism to craft and endeavors. Do it.

Make Noise: Pick some shit up, and play it. What ever it is, no matter how good/bad you think you are. This is just for you.

Use a Pen: Write something, anything, everything.

Utilize Some More Paper: Draw some shit. Even just a straight line. Even just a couple dots. We're working on expulsion here.

Use Your Eyes: Look, read, consume with yer oculars.

Love Something: Works just like depression. You tell me what love is, and I'll show you what an accomplished day looks like.

Clean Some Shit: Your space is dirty, your head is dirty. Simple.

Make Coins: Don't knock the hustle.
