Orange Alert / Hannah Stouffer
Nice little interview up on Orange Alert.
"It was Gandhi that said, "Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes", and it is that concept that lays the foundation for the work of Hannah Stouffer. It's not that her work is filled with mistakes, no in fact there are many fine precisions and details that she adds, but it is more that she works in a way that allows for freedom. For me what makes watercolor so beautiful is its ability to spread out and explore a canvas, and beneath the darker and primal imagery in Hannah's work is that exploration and searching watercolors expanding on their own across the canvas.
Enlighten!

North Face / Grand Array
Stopped by The North Face offices in San Leandro yesterday with Jen to take a peek at the outer ware we are coming out with in Fall 2010... all 4 jackets will be for the summit line- in 2 different colorways. They are looking amazing. Jen and I both got some samples to take home and party with in our living rooms and pretend like its snowing... Here I am with John and Julie over at North Face... I realllllly wanna show you- but I can't, but if you look in the lower left of this photo... that might be something x
... the sun finally sets
Despite the harsh winds of Father Winter, the 'Vast Happenings' show at Giant Robot in New York last weekend brought out a cozy little crowd, a bunch of Euro's, and a grip of old friends to make me remember that I don't make it out to the east coast nearly enough- but plenty until I figure out how to swing that whole '5 homes in 5 cities' thing... until then...
...we can all finally rest for awhile. Thank you. I love you.
Heart Heart Heart Aimee and Peter Reiss for the amazing night.... my heart- 28 years strong....
ArtArtArt Comics
Thank you everyone that came out and visited us at A.P.E. this year... I'll be putting the left over merch. up in the Grand*Array store in case you reeeeeally wanted a copy of the new epic 'Burn Slow' mini Metal trilogy I wrote for the show but showed up too late and just got the crumbs.... next time come earlier, and bring me some juice.
In case you missed it...
'Love it or Leave it' will be up at 111 Minna in San Francisco through the end of the month. Maybe you were there, or maybe my fried-chicken induced coma blurred my vision so badly so that I wouldn't have recognized you anyways- either way Cody and I jet-setted to SF for the opening to give a toast to Gabe Scott, spend our drink tickets and high-five Jay Howell and his crazy antics with the ever present need and desire deep within our bones to party all the time.... thank you San Francisco, you a nice lady.
Enlighten / More Despair
... featuring 'More Despair' by LA illustrator, Hannah Stouffer

Each artist’s lamp design will be sold in a limited edition available for one night only. A portion of all sales will benefit Inner-City Arts, an organization offering opportunities for at-risk children from Los Angeles schools to build artistic self-expression, enhancing their ability to perform both creatively and academically in challenging environments.
