Hit + Run

Hit + Run is a unique TShirt silkscreening enterprise operating out of Los Angeles.

They throw killer parties where TShirts are hand printed right on the spot.



Brandy Flower and Mike Crivello act as curators, selecting from their network of artists to compile a collection of single-color silkscreen designs.

Guests personally select their unique combination and placement of the designs, each one solely available during the single night exhibitions.  Party goers interact in the process on -site with Flower and Crivello to create pieces of one- of-a-kind wearable art.



Tonight is the big 2nd year anniversary event.

I just had a screen made of an image that I sketched way back in the early 70's.

I'm looking forward to printing it on a few shirts at the event.

If you're in LA, perhaps I'll see you there!

Top of the Dome

Crewest premiered it's Top of the Dome exhibition on Saturday, featuring over 100 astounding skulls painted by LA's top graff artists.

I just barely got my piece in on time.

It's called "Sweet"

Yes it's a skull covered with jellybeans and gummy-worm lips.

Mmmmmm boy, good eatin'!

Thanks to Steve Sattler for providing the sweet pics of my skull.

This shot of me next to BigPranks and his skull was provided by Ritzy, who was also in

the show.  You can view more of the exhibition at

her Flickr link.

Steven Stattler's piece was a real show-stealer!

The title along is monsterous:



"Another Infallible Spokesman for the One True God [ Vestments (circa 4111) excavated from the archeological site of the Church of Industrial Pig Worship, from a time when clerical fashion reflected the prevailing idea of an ideal life...a time when young celebrity mothers had their cake and ate it too.]

Steven
thought that with the full title people might realize that it is basically a fashion piece and that the additions to the skull and torso are all fashion accessories i.e.hat, earrings,necklace,bustier,dental appendages,etc.
