The Inflated/Deflated project was initiated by Jillian, Lauren, and Kady – three creatives based out of Chicago, IL. The words written on the balloons range from humorous quotes to heartfelt feelings and memories. These words are marked on the surface of inflated balloons, and like that of one’s thoughts being released, so too is the air of the balloon. Deflated the once largely marked letters become small, expressive, and intricate forms.
Please join us tomorrow for our annual heArt Show! We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day by showing work from over 100 artists. The show is ca$h and carry, so it’s a great chance to pick up something special for your Valentine. We will also be serving a 60 lb roasted pig, tons of refreshments, and cupcakes fresh from the oven! Stick around for our afterparty at Gunner’s Run here in the Piazza for drink specials all night long… The ‘official’ time for the party is 6-10 P.M., but all of the hearts will be on display when we open at Noon. It’s a good chance to check it out early and get the one you want…

We couldn’t be happier to have Sarah showing here THIS Saturday, January 21st! There is a line between artists and people who make stuff, Sarah is a true artist. I’ve been fortunate enough to see her work progress, and cannot wait to see what she’s come up with. Haunting faces made of found objects and ceramic will be peering from our walls ready to go home with you…
I have always enjoyed clocks, watches or any time telling devices. Ben Broyde has created a time telling device that tickles my fancy, orlogin. “israeli designer ben broyde has created the clock series entitled ‘orlogin’. his project functions as a realized research project regarding the use of two dimensional sketches in design and the way in which an artist relates to this planning medium. due to the layering of the sketch, there is an ease present to the production of a three dimensional product. the construction process of ‘orlogin’ was accomplished as if the three dimensional object were quickly sketched by hand, and they are completed without any post-construction finishing.” and see more at designboom.
In this episode of Here Comes the Neighborhood, Kunle Martins aka EARSNOT, founder of the IRAK CREW, along with Jesse Geller aka NEMEL break down the importance of good penmanship, the difference between murals and graffiti, and the concept behind their “tagging mosaic” in Wynwood. Stealing, masturbation and other compulsive behaviors are also addressed.
