We’re excited to be able to support local animator Bruce Bickford with the Cartune Xprez: 2008 AMRCAN FALL tour.

Friday, August 29th
8pm
Northwest Film Forum
1515 12th Ave
Seattle, WA

Multimedia dance duo Hooliganship (Peter Burr and Christopher Doulgeris) present the freshest incarnation of Cartune Xprez, a 70–minute animation party that celebrates the wilderness of imagination through motion pictures. Featured artists include Bruce Bickford, Shana Moulton, Takeshi Murata, Paper Rad and others. Included in this cartoon theater will be their most recent piece entitled “Realer” in which audiences don 3D glasses and bear witness to a televised parade gone awry. This program provides a rare opportunity to see videos by emerging and internationally known artists. Collectively, their resumes include collaborations with Frank Zappa and major exhibitions at the Whitney Biennial, the MOMA in New York, the Sundance Film Festival and many other institutions throughout the world.

“The Museum of Love and Mystery” constains 24 cardboard pages of full-color images from Frank’s holiday sojourn in the Western Unifactor.

Matt already has a copy of this book.  It’s a MUST HAVE.

Showing their work

Every third Monday of every month a collision of burlesque, life drawing, booze, and bawdy humor takes place at Rendezvous’ JewelBox Theatre in downtown Seattle. Last month, Troy–our Design Director– took two of our Designers to Dr. Sketchy’s. A good time was apparently had by Troy, Drake and Devi. Here’s a photo from the Dr. Sketchy Seattle Flickr photo album to document the event.

This month, we’re opening up the invitation to anyone from the studio. Who knows… maybe the woman in the office/closet in the corner of Suite C might break out her charcoals and kneady eraser and join in on the fun.

Martin Ontiveros will be showing at Schmancy Toys this Friday.  If you haven’t seen any of Martin’s work, you gotta come down a take a peek!  His paintings are totally amazing and he’s had a number of vinyl toys created based on his character designs like the super cool Ojo Rojo. 

Check out a bunch of his work and other artist’s Martin-inspired work featured at Portland’s very own Grass Hut.

See yas down there!
