We are excited to announce the next art show : Vinyl Graffiti will be held at the store on Saturday Feb 9th at 7-10 pm. The show will feature a collection of assorted illustrations done overtop old album (lp) covers. This is a goup show -featuring many artist that have each contirubuted a piece. The show is guaranteed to be of interest to anyone that enjoys seeing the creative spirit and imagination that makes each artist unique. Many of the artists who have contributed to the show will be on hand to meet and greet. Also - many of the pieces will be on sale.
Since this is the first art show we are holding that is not tied to a book - we wanted to do something extra special. What we came up with is the Character Design Face Off. Every 3 minutes we plan on giving out a prize (t-shirts, etc..). Essentially it will work like this. We will set up a couple of easils, back to back in the store and every 3 minutes 2 people (yes -this could be you) will face off against each other - to draw a fun character design. As an example, someone might yell out - Vikings in Pyjamas. Then the two drawers will have to draw for 3 minutes -not know what the other is doing. Meanwhile, the people attending the art show in the store that night -will be able to watch everything that's happening. At the end of the alloted time, 1 peson will get a prize based on the response their drawing gets from the spectators. We hope to give away at least 50 prizes. You don't have to be a great artist -but you do need to be in the mood to have some fun. If this works out as we hope, we intend to run similar games at future events.
For anyone that might want to contribute to the artshow - the deadline is fast approaching. All you need to do to enter - is to Email us a picture of the record cover before you modify it
Please let folks know about this event on your blogs, facebook or via email -because the more people attend, the more fun the games will be.
NOTE: THE SHOW STARTS AT 7PM -BUT THE CHARACTER DESIGN FACE OFF STARTS @ 8PM.
