Day of the Dead Recap

Happy Halloween! Where did the month of October go? We’ve admittedly fallen a bit behind on blogging, and the only thing to do is to catch up, one post at a time. Please keep your submissions coming (email them to heyyouguys [at] perfectlaughter [dot] com).  If you’ve submitted something and haven’t heard back, we apologize. Hang tight, we’re getting there!

This weekend is the last chance to see Day of the Dead at Starkweather Arts Center. The gallery is open Thursday through Saturday.  The show that Heather Hansma curated has a lot of fantastic work in it, and we were happy to be a part of it. The opening featured music by Hand in the Ocean, and performance art by Jayme Ludwig. All of the opening’s hijinks can be seen in this Day of the Dead photo album that Heather put together on Flickr.

As for the artwork, it’s showcased beautifully in this highlight reel that was shot by local cable channel WBRW. Great job, Heather, on a very thoughtfully curated and tirelessly promoted show that all of the artists involved are no doubt very proud of.

 

Day of the Dead at Starkweather Arts Center, Romeo, MI, Oct. 7th, 2011

We are part of a huge group show happening at Starkweather Arts Center in Romeo, MI on October 7th. Curated by the lovely Heather Hansma, the pieces, as the title may suggest, revolves around the theme of Dia de los Muertos.

We wanted the focus of the print to be the traditional Day of the Dead skull, but with a somewhat photorealistic spin. The final print measures 16 x 20″ and is three colors on French Speckletone Madero Beach paper.

Process and detail shots behind the cut.

Recap: Happy Serum @ Starkweather Arts Center

Happy Serum, featuring artwork by Kill Taupe, Heather Hansma and Crystal Mielcarek, debuted earlier this month. Starkweather Arts Center out in Romeo is totally worth the drive, and you should check out the show in person if you can. Our pictures definitely don’t do the work justice. Happy Serum ends next Saturday, June 25th.
