It's been a helluva ride. Mountain Dew's Green Label Art is officially a wrap. If you missed it? Shame on you - you missed out. Transforming the Etnies basement into a fully fledged art gallery was no easy task but it's been great working with a wicked team of individuals; Matty Ho (Subculture Conglomerate), The LTD + Crew, the artists (Pushead, UPSO, Stephen Bliss, Jeff McMillan, Nathan Cabrera and Claw Money) and of course partner in design Confid3ntial.
Ahhh internet...what will you show me next. I've done some much needed mindless browsing this weekend and as usual am loving the little internet gems that I've come across. First up: Supermarket Sarah.
Sarah take internet shopping to the next (and beautifully basic) level with her online store.
Friday saw the opening event for Mr Bliss's "Paint It Black".
Stephen took the concept of interactive to the next level with the Paint It Black Show. Artists (including ThunderDog Studios very own Tristan Eaton) and event attendees were invited to "paint by numbers" on Stephen's intricately detailed pieces which included sketch book excerpts and original workings from the infamous "Bully" video game.
"And so we follow Jay-Z through the doorway, as the microphone is handed to him, as he dons his crown – his Yankee cap – and rises from beneath the stage to the lights of the arena, and the awaiting crowd: no mere fans, but American celebrity’s cream of the crop, before which he is King."
Opening night on 09.09.09 went off with a bang (and a crash...umm this is a gallery people!)...if you missed it - no worries there are PLENTY more opening nights and opportunities to witness the Green coming up over the next 2 weeks.
