I’m so excited for this show. It’s been my pleasure to assemble some of my very best buds to contribute to this unique art experience. Everyone has generously donated pieces to be displayed for barter or purchase the night of the opening, more on that in the press release below. This time of year is always so crazy, it’s really nice to attempt something good in the midst of all the chaos.
PRESS RELEASE:

Up for grabs in the trading post will be work by more than 30 artists. Special consideration will be given to high protein and organic donations.
Last year we were able to raise over 300 pounds of food. With your support we can exceed that number this year! Use this opportunty to give back to your commmunity and support artists that have that same goal in mind. Like last year, all donations will benefit the Central Virginia Food Bank.

I whipped up this 3-color jammy for Thanky this week. If you are in the area come on out!
Here is an excerpt of the press release:
“Thanky is happy to announce Technicomfort, a group art show about
bright colors, featuring works by Joseph Buzzell, Dearraindrop, Andrew Jeffrey Wright, Megan Whitmarsh, Crystal Stokowski, Mumbleboy, Leif Goldberg, Molly O’Connell, Raphael Lyon, Jesse Spears, Brian Blomerth, Apak and more!
Artists in Technicomfort work in collage, painting, embroidery,
screen-print, drawing, and sculpture — all in glorious saturated
life-like and death-like colors!
There will be an opening reception on First Friday, November 7 from 6pm to 9 pm with musical performances and complimentary cupcakes.
The exhibit will close on November 29. Open hours are from 12 pm to 3 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.”
A little late on the notice, but I’ll be at the zine fest here in Richmond VA tomorrow, starting at 11 and going until 5. I’ll have newish prints and backstock galore! Jeremy Taylor is sharing a table with me and also Andy Jenkins. Come say “hello” and support capitalism and the economy, but also anarchy and DIY type stuff.
Again, not on the ball. This is a flyer for the trade print show at SNAP mentioned a few posts back. More pictures to come on that I’m sure. Thanks to David for including us!
