Red bull stole my month, and all I got was this nasty addiction
What up y'all
I am back in action , what with the Red Bull gig all done I can finally share some time with my most favorite art community this side of Lake Washington. The Acadmy, as we liked to call it, was amazing. Looking back on it there were so many great people running in and out of it as well as the cream of Seattle handling alot of the daily grind. Plus I had the great opportunity to work on the ArRange show at McCaw Hall. Meeting some musical gods is always fun, even when you have to deal with petty gripes from some sectors. I guess you can't please everybody. Special thanks go out to my man Sua who put me down with this gig and did an excellant job of co-curating what amounted to a pretty crazy show. Well here are the few flicks I caught around the academy and the ArRange show as well as some flicks of this damn invite Iosefatu Sua and I slaved over one night. Wheres my Money, Honey.
Angry Woebots and Robert Hardgrave do it to the music all night long
After this Sua is gonna go appear in the smash broadway musical "Newsies"
Not 1, Not 2, but the Whole damn Crew. Artists in the House.
From L-R Darvin Vida, Angry Woebots, Iosefatu Sua, Mark Atlas, Robert Hardgrave, Tra Selhtrow, Damion Hayes , Missing is Jilf because he had to take a shit
Thats alot of Tony Orlando and Dawn
If you didn't make this then you probably made it to work monday

Big Party at Roq la Rue Friday!
Roq La Rue Holiday Party and Benefit For Bamboo
December 16th 6-9pm
a one night only art show
with ALL proceeds
going to NARN's Free Bamboo Campaign
With works by:
Mark Ryden, Marion Peck, Todd Schorr, Kathy Schorr, Alex Gross, Scott Musgrove, Pooch, Joshua Petker, Andrew Brandou, Ryan Heshka, Joe Vollan, Yumiko Kayukawa, Krystof Nemeth, Jessica McCourt, Derek Nobbs, Rik Garrett, Kipling West, Travis Louie and
more.....
Roq la Rue is throwing a holiday party and hosting a special ONE NIGHT ONLY art show with ALL proceeds going to the Northwest Animal Rights Network fund for Bamboo the elephant. Bamboo, a resident of Woodland Park Zoo for 37 years, began to exhibit aggressive and neurotic behavior. The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee offered to take Bamboo and offer her a better life, on their own dime, but the Woodland Park Zoo decided to send her to Point Defiance Zoo instead (where she continues her neurotic pacing and head-shaking). This is an injustice and smacks of politics rather than true concern for this majestic creature's health and well being. We feel if more people were aware of the situation we could get Bamboo moved to the Sanctuary where she'd be loved and taken care of, with thousands of acres to roam instead of the one acre she has now. All funds raised will be used to raise awareness about Bamboo's welfare in our community.
Roq La Rue is at
2312 2nd Ave
(Between Battery and Bell)

Roq La Rue opening Friday
Roq la Rue Gallery
Presents
Oksana Badrak
And
Miles Thompson
Opening Friday Dec 9th 6-10pm
Roq La Rue is pleased to present the works of two artist who are making big ripples in the Pop Surrealism pond, Oksana Badrak and Miles Thompson.
Russian born Oksana Badrak’s work is highlighted by an enigmatic perfection. With its dreamy surrealism and incredible detail, Oksana Badrak's work exists in a dimension of her own. It presents a fantastical visual experience made up of graphic fiction and tightly rendered reality. Inspired by a range of experiences from an Asian supermarket to the Southern California desert, her work creates a beckoning landscape…a place where pop-culture icons and images from an organic world seemingly get along together, though the space between them is filled with friction. Combining disparate elements in her work, both in use of imagery (such as wildlife and Victorian parlors) as well as technique (painted elements on digital work) Oksana has attracted attention from both the graphic art scene as well as admiration from high art academia.
Miles Thompson (Los Angeles) creates idealistic worlds reminiscent of the 50’s –60’s quest for exotica (such as the emergence of tiki bars) as well as the general public’s fascination with the bohemian world of jazz and beatniks. His work is evocative of artists such as Jim Flora, yet have an added modern lo fi pop quirkiness. His new series is focusing on the idea of the Calendar Girl pin up- still prevalent in our culture today. Miles’ retro environments create scenes that are technically exciting to look at as well as shamelessly fun.
