Brain Dump Show Opening

admin — Sat, 05 May 2012 14:05:30 +0000

Thanks to everyone for coming out last night, the show opening was fantastic! This was the first group art show that I’ve produced through my job at SBS for Pryme Helmets. I partnered with the Design Commission Gallery to host the show, big props to Matty and Jay for making all the details come together.

The show opening was May 3rd in conjunction with the Seattle First Thursday Art Walk. 21 Artists (Joanna and I included) were each given a white Pryme V2 Helmet as their canvas to customize. Patrons voted at the show on their favorite helmet using a web interface. Pryme will then produce a limited edition graphic package based upon the winning artist work.

Artists include Jared K. Nickerson, Jim Koch, Jesse LeDoux, Jeff “Weirdo” Jacobs, Jeanie Newby, Justin Hillgrove, Joanna Abbott-Moss, Steve Rocketkar, Evan Moss, Mark Bently, Ben Malay, Candace Catskin, Jay Dokken, Samantha Malay, Josh McCurdy, Matty Mitchell, Luz Bratcher, Darin Montgomery, Mike Capp, Saingbey Woodtor and Luke Dokken.

Below is Joanna’s “Use it or loose it” birds nest helmet sculpture, and my “Seastache” piece.

Brain Dump Helmet Project

Evan — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 01:49:18 +0000

This afternoon I dived deep into drawing mustaches and sea creatures on a helmet. This is my first time using a gold pen and I really like how finished it looks. The helmet is for the Pryme Brain Dump show, featuring custom helmet art from 20 Seattle area artists. You can get all the info on the show here.

March China Trip

This trip to Hong Kong I wanted to capture daily life on the streets as well as how the city changes as it goes from day to night. HK has an east meets west vibe, which is very inspiring to me. Being a big fan of typography I was drawn to the Cantonese/English signage that covered every inch of the city, especially when it lights up at dusk. I enjoyed drawing the chaotic Lock Rd street food vendors and signs.

Join the Reality Disco Party

This instrumental track is so funky, I can’t get it out of my head! From what I can tell this Reality “Disco Party” album is on the TSG records label, which was a tax scam label back in the mid 70′s. This is one of those albums I’m going to find at a garage sale some day.

I just saw one copy sell on Ebay for $1256. Crazy! Here’s a link to that auction: http://bit.ly/xmSAjy

Getting Greasy with Allen Stone

Evan — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:56:59 +0000

Joanna and I had a blast at the sold out Allen Stone show at the newly renovated Neptune Theatre last night. About halfway through Allen said “It’s about to get greasy in here” and the place was dripping with funk by the end. The whole band killed it with super tight arrangements. Both Seattle Rock Orchestra and Macklamore played with Allen during his set. One of the highlights was his ripping rendition of Bob Marley’s “Is This Love”. Here’s a sneak taste of ”What I’ve Seen” from the show.

ERG Zine

Joanna and I were asked to provide artwork for the zine ERG around the theme of WORK. We love how Rachael, Rainey, John and the rest put this project together and were glad to be apart of it. If you weren’t one of the lucky ones to see the printed version you can view it below.

Our ISAM Experience

admin — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 03:02:46 +0000

Joanna and I saw the Amon Tobin “ISAM Live” concert during the Decibel Festival last week. It was absolutely spectacular. It’s hard to describe what that show was. Light sound sculpture? Teleported future magic? all the above! This IS the future of electronic music live. Here’s my footage from the night.

Anthony Howe Kinetic Sculpture Video

The Howe Art Gallery is always our favorite stop on Orcas Island, this time I had to shoot video of Anthony’s sculptures. Each of these pieces changes in the wind and light. Just brilliant! The music is “Go Outside” by Cults.
