photos from the Compound x UO reception

Much thanks to everyone that made it down to the philadelphias historic navy yard for our show at the urban outfitters gallery at their home office. thats a lot of long location names and for a first sentence, and for that, i apologize.

I really love participating in group shows that showcase individual vision, there always seems to be something for everyone, and i love it even more when those participating are also some of my best friends, studio mates, and gallery running cohorts. whereas our artistic third eyes are typically turned on to different influences, the mix and match of our work and its varied direction portrayed the vibe i get when i'm stooled up in my studio next to all these shitty people.

naturally i wanted to call the show "Jamaican me crazy, Compounding me hard', but no one else was really feeling that so we just went with "compound warehaus" which, i guess is much more of a descriptor than mine. heres a few pictures of the show...

bill sands killed it with these paper cut out collage pieces.

jason andrew turner "a light in the window is a crack in the sky" 1-25. i'm pretty jazzed on this series, i hope you are too.

erin broadhurst delved further into her stream of consciousness word drawings based on dreams and past tales.

adam pietras hand worked the fuck out of multiples in “The delicate balance

miriam singers giant "red map 3"

more miriam singer. the piece on the right is my favorite drawing of hers, reminds me of the garden of earthly delights by hieronymus bosch which is never a bad thing.

ryan beck delivered the goods proper.

derrick wesley mcnew, luis cancel angel, and alex curtis have always down for the cause and bestowed us with these guys

people were really stoked on justin berry, tanya, and nema etebar
