100 prints

Howdy.
A print of mine, Subtle Body, will be up for auction at Open Studio's Annual 100 Prints auction. 100 prints is an annual fundraiser for Open Studio, the printmaking studio of 401 Richmond, and features 100 juried works by artists who have donated prints to raise funds for the gallery.

The event takes place May 13, the preview is from 6 to 7 pm, and there will be awards announced for several of the prints at 7pm.

A friend of mine, Evy Harevan, works with WASH, Women's Alternative Sexual Health, and asked me to make them a logo. WASH is an organization which increases awareness and understanding of women's sexual and reproductive health. I drew two logos, and Evy combined the best parts of them to create the final version. If it's totally unclear, this is a uterus, with a face in profile inlay.

9 layer screenprint. Finally.

A SHOW!


Teresa Aversa and Michelle Galletta, both printmakers, have organized a show, Honorary Catholic, opening March 19 at Board of Directors.

The Gallery is at 1080 Queen Street West, the show runs from the 19th to the 29th, the reception is the 19th from 6 to 9 PM.

The show looks at religious kitsch, the commoditization of religion and the show is going to operate like a mini sale. There will be a lot of Catholic paraphernalia for sale, most around ten dollars, nothing over one hundred dollars.

Be there.

COMICS!

I keep talking about this comic I'm doing for B' Mo Crazy. It's done. I need to make a cover though.

It's being included in the lyrics, each page is based on a song on the disc, so there are sixteen pages. I'm selling copies of the comic by itself on thursday at OCAD.



Here are two of the pages.

SH - SH -SH -SHOWTIME!

So, my friend Nic Carlino is in a fourth year sculpture and installation show at InterAccess, at 9 Ossington avenue. The opening is March 5, 7-10 PM, the show runs til the 22nd.

Nic's work is really cool. He's been working (nonstop everday for a few months) around the theme of space, and, without giving too much away, the work is amazing, the attention to detail is awesome and everything is thematically coherent yet diverse in media.



GO!
