dAP Mural Progress Pics

Jeremy from River’s Edge Gallery asked me to do a live painting during Friday and Saturday of the Wyandotte street fair. I had a great time talking to fellow artists and to people who otherwise would never have had a chance to see my work. Thanks to Aimee of River’s Edge Gallery for letting me use some of her pics.

Here You Will Face Gods: Live Mural by the GR8

A couple of months ago, the GR8 held a live art and music event called the A/V Kids Experiment outside of Biddle Gallery in Wyandotte. Although I got to see the initial sketches of their mural early on, I had no idea how it ended up until the guys sent me this time lapse video of the whole day. The finished piece is called “Here You Will Face Gods”, and one of the GR8 artists Ben Pozniak did an amazing job shooting and editing this.

‘dAP @ the Wyandotte Street Art Fair

The Wyandotte Street Art Fair was so much fun this weekend. The ‘dAP (‘dotte Art Project) was situated right by the stage. The weather was fantastic. We met a ton of great artists there, a few of which we’ll be featuring on the blog later on. For now, here’s a recap of the live art that was happening on Friday and Saturday. Click to see a whole lot of pictures behind the cut.

Two Live Art Events This Saturday

There are two really unconventional art events going on this Saturday.  The first one is the A/V Kids Experiment, a combination of improv music and live art that is the brainchild of Ryan Weiss and Jason Rohler.  (If you haven’t read the interview I did with Ryan, it’s pretty hilarious and his art is amazing.)

Ryan and Jason will be joined Brian McGuire as one of the guest musicians and the GR 8 as their guest artists.  The GR 8 consists of eight diverse, up and coming artists who are all good friends.  They came together collectively to create art and to compete in the Art Prize Competition being held in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  The GR 8 is Ryan Weiss, George Eberhardt, Ben Pozniak, Scott Wygmans, Reuben Garcia, Zac Gorman, Matt Geerling and Thomas Peterson.  

The A/V 3 Experiment with special guests GR8 will be held at Biddle Gallery in downtown Wyandotte on Saturday, May 30th from noon till either the cops come or they run out of light, at which time you should head over to the Comet Bar in Detroit.

The Comet Bar (126 Henry St., Detroit) will be having a live art show this Saturday, May 30th (raindate: June 6th). Artists include artwork by Dennis, Kokie Solomon, Corryn Jackson, and video artist Koolik. Music will be provided my Richard Wohlfiel. There will be live painting by the artists as well as finished artwork on display and for purchase.  There is a $5 cover.  If you would like to participate or would like more information email lehootsdetroit [at] gmail [dot] com or call (313) 685 0030.
