Awesome but True Electric Institute's first group show a complete success!

Yeah! I feel like a real artist now. haha. Very broke and forcing others to look at my art. Oh the joys of art.
Yes. Here I am with awesome artist and founder of ABTEI, Sean Christensen. Me looking wonderful as ever with my white bra showing through my shirt. ahaha. Oh well. Those things happen, ya know?



The boy in the middle photo, Robert, is excellent with stencils and spray paint. His piece was the first to sell in the show--and hopefully not the last...


Here is Reading Frenzy at night. Oh, so pretty. Fun fact for all you weird music listeners out there. Reading Frenzy is next door neighbors to the coffee shop Half and Half, the very same coffee shop in the beginning of the music video "See a Penny, Pick it up" by YACHT. Yeah, I notice these things. Yeah, I am a nerd. I am that weird music listener.


Sean gave me a copy of all of his zines for free! MAN. they are super rad and super fun to look at and read. I think my favorite is "Venus in Furs". The images give me warm fuzzy feelings that make my heart feel all alone. That sound terrible but it isn't. It's nice in some weird way.

Portland, here I come, kinda.

I am trying to plan a trip to Portland for the beginning of September, Sept 6th-8th to be exact. September 6th is the art opening of the Professor Awesome But True's Electric Art Institute. The PABTEI is a newly put together art/illustration collective displaying the works and uniting eclectic artists from all over the globe. The collective is run by Portland native, Sean Christensen and the artwork will be on display at the Reading Frenzy located 0n 921 SW Oak St in Portland, OR.

I was fortunate to have run into Sean online and have him invite me to join this new project. The art shows go as follows, so far the collective has 3 shows planned. They happen every other month. The first show's theme is clothing--illustrating your favorite outfit. Because clothes are often used as a way of describing oneself, how do your clothes represent you?


If you haven't already, I advise you to check out the collective's myspace page. The artists in the collective are the top friends on the page. I also suggest you go check out Sean's blog or his myspace page.
