Art Shows Tonight in Austin

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

Have we mentioned our good friend Matthew Briar Bonifacio Rodriguez before? He’s an artist. He is in a traveling group show that is opening in Austin tonight at Super Alright Creative Studio. The show is called Way Down In New Orleans, and is curated by Aubrey Edwards. The show starts at 7pm, click here for more details.

This travelling exhibition opened in the nation’s capital of Washington DC on the third anniversary of Katrina, and it has now come to the capital city of Texas.Way Down in New Orleans unites an array of New Orleans-based artists with artists nationwide, five artists hailing from Austin…

GIVE LESS FRUITCAKE, BUY MORE ART (art show)

I was pleased to find out that two of the most creative people I’ve ever been able to know and work with are in an art show this friday at T and P Fine Art Gallery in Philadelphia. I guess it’s a big deal because these two guys were such a big part of the genius behind Paul frank Industries for about 16 years combined. Working at a place like PF for that long could burn some out – you work all day creating all kinds of special amazing-ness and at the end of the day you sign somebody else’s name on your work – but not these two. They have both moved on to bigger and better things, like this art show, and also:

  • Benjamin Soto is now art directing a top secret Disney project that I cannot talk about (mostly because I don’t know what the project is).

Lombardi/Screamer December 4th in Austin

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Hello gang, this Thursday night don’t miss the grand Christmas Expo Group Art Show at Gallery Lombardi from 7pm-10pm. Go and pick up some great artwork at discounted prices (once the work is purchased it goes home with the buyer). I have a couple pieces in the show that may look a little familiar.

Reginald Skateboard

The exhibit runs through January 4th.

Also Thursday night is the release of Three (which I am also in). What is Three you ask? Here is Mason of The Screamer Company to explain it:

MASON – “The Screamer Company invites you to celebrate the launch of our newest publication – THREE. Come to our office First Thursday, December 4th, 6 – 10 PM to pick up your copy. Orf Brewing will be sponsoring the party and we’ll have live music and art for your enjoyment.”

And here I though three was just a number between two and four.

Who is Matthew Rodriguez?

He was very friendly early on in our transition from California to Austin. Matthew has quickly become one of my favorite artists and favorite people altogether. He makes awesome artwork and is arguably one of the biggest artists coming out of Texas. All of you people living on the west coast should stop by and say hello and take your friends and take him a tall boy of sparks and ask him about Africahhhh. He’s basically my brother from another mother.

Juxtapoz wrote about the show here.

“The arts show is going to be a collection of paintings and mixed media telling stories about hoodlum street animals, fed up plants, stray animals, tiny chandeliers, the great pacific trash pile, the environment’s big problem, bling, and stories told by my grandpa,” Rodriguez told us.
