MVM : Port O'Brien

Port O'Brien has long been a favorite of mine and I was stoked to hear about their tour following the release of their new album Threadbare. They're coming our way Nov. 2nd to play at The Loft @ UCSD. Here is their new video for "My Will Is Good". It reminds me of the slo-mo school scenes in Donnie Darko replaced with double dutch.

Yeller's Monster Mash!

Monsters and mutants, oh my! The guys and ghouls of  Yeller have been awfully busy this past month, preparing for their third show this Saturday, October 10th from 7 to 10 pm.



Yeller will be bringing their special brand of collaborative, one-night art shows to Subtext Gallery (2479 Kettner Blvd). Taking cues from the Halloween season and a mutual love of drawing sub-human creatures, this show examines all things monster. Blending together everything from the kitschiness of Halloween culture to humanity's fascination with the grotesque, the artists have been hard at work on a vast array of styles and mediums to bring you a unique experience with all the work priced to sell.



As always, Yeller is an artist collective whose goal is to establish a curatorial art brand and selling platform for a community of artists focused on the continual pursuit of collaborative projects.



More information can be found on Yeller's blog.

MVM : Miike Snow

It is freezing out (to me), and as Zack mentioned in his concert post, this cold front brought with it a load of amazing touring bands. Usually I like to hole up in my warm cave of a room but tonight I will pile on layers to make the bike ride to see Miike Snow at The Casbah. Here is Miike Snow's music video for "Animal" directed by Sebastian Mlynarski.

Also playing tonight is another artist I play on repeat, specifically this song "Tonight's Today" by Jack Penate.

Morgan Blair's 'Hisssssss Cat' Print

Morgan Blair's sketch books offer endless possibilities for rad screen prints, so picking one was pretty difficult.  After some deliberation about which drawing embodied her refined child-like style, and wouldn't ask too much of our limited screen printing skills, Hissssss Cat was chosen. 

We made 40 prints, each is a slightly different shade of yellow, orange or pink, with a few super special gradient prints slipped into the stack.  Every print is signed and numbered by Morgan, with a special message just for you...

They look great framed in your house or cubicle. 

Or on a T-shirt if you prefer to wear it about town.

You can find the prints for $15 dollars on our online shop.

Shirts can be found at Material (mens) and Mimi & Red (womens) in North Park, San Diego.
