3 Oct 08: Work DeJerk in Portland, OR

New Work DeJerk is heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere! And we are SO excited to share it with YOU!

You know, it was only a year ago that Tiago held his first solo show at Space Monkey, a wonderful-yet-tiny coffee shop all the way out in the Felony Flats area of southeast Portland. Now, a sweet 13 months later, the brand new Work DeJerk is returning to the southeast, and is bigger and better than ever!

This Friday, October 3rd, come on down to Vino Vixens (2929 SE Powell Blvd) and witness Tiago's art occupying the largest space it's ever graced! Bring as many people as you like, because this place is HUGE and the party is F-R-E-E! Music, dancing, schmoozing, and general tom-foolery begin at 8pm and last 'till 2am. There's also pool, darts and, for those of you who don't like socializing but still want to be seen at an opening DeJerk, there's a whole room dedicated to Nintendo 64!

Don't miss this chance to be present for a historical moment in the career DeJerk, and to meet the parents DeJerk, who are visiting all the way from Curitiba, Brazil!

We can't wait to see you there, folks!

PaperMonster Solo Show: Feast

Show info:::
"Feast"

PaperMonster's upcoming solo show "FEAST" opens this Friday October 3rd at Metropolis Gallery. The show will feature some incredible stencil art pieces. PaperMonster explores the broad and multifaceted spectrum of emotions, from anger and distress to love and desire, and its effects on the intricacies of female facial expressions. His pieces are truly exciting and interactive as the audience can not only take the paintings at face value but dive deeper into exploring the complex stories within. If you are in the PA area it is a show you will definitely not want to miss.

Klutch at Goodfoot

With his latest offering, Planet Of The Kooks, Portland artist Klutch delivers a vision both inspirational and dystopian. Via an installation/mural made entirely from old skateboard decks, Klutch has manifested a world where people's trash has been reclaimed by The Kooks into a space where flocks of birds and birdhouses hover over adobe villages rising from clouds. As protection from evil all are guarded by several primitive masks converted into elaborately decorated surveillance and communication devices.

Stencil Art? Video: SF Stencils

Artist JP Kelly wanders the streets of San Francisco, wondering about stencil art.

Can't embed the video in this post, so you'll have to go to his site and look for the small thumbnail for the video titled "Stencil Art?" A pink text stencil is in the thumbnail.

Stencil Archive gets a cameo, as does long time friend and stencil geek Josiah S.
