Before Plexipixel, Matt and I met each other.  Where did we meet?  T’was the year 2000 at the Seattle Spring Scoot Scooter Rally.  Matt had a green and cream 1974 150 Super Vespa and I had a yellow 1974 150 Super Vespa.  The rest is history.

To commemorate the 2007 AmeriVespa National Scooter Rally, Matt has updated the scooter girl design he did in 2002 and has completed a new design for this year. 

The below are I-Phone wallpaper ready sizes of the t-shirt designs that will be sold at Amerivespa this weekend.  Toot Toot!

Come see the Hiberts’ on Friday, June 1st from 6-9 PM.

Grass Hut Gallery is located at 811 E Burnside in downtown Portland, Oregon.

Snaggs, her husband Arbito, his two cousins Oliver and Spencer, gallons of fresh paint and yards of fuzzy felt are coming to Portland, OR to remind us to jump start our imaginations.

Their work is a shining example of west coast psychedelic art. The vivid colors and icons often resemble work created during the golden 1960’s American revolution.

The Hibert family style rounds the edges and cranks the volume up on icons such as hippies, monsters, bell bottoms, totem poles, long hair, flowers and everything typically West Coast that can be shown in a cute and fuzzy light.

Although Arbito, Snaggs, Oliver and Spencer have earned established gallery reputations, they have never shown together in Portland. The simple fact that they are all flying to be at their Grass Hut opening tells us something about their passion for Portland’s art scene.”

In Japan the slang for “comb-over” is “baakodo” (aka “barcode”). Watch this video from Design Barcode, Inc. for super cute animation, innovative business idea, and biting play on a certain hairstyle for men.
