I’ve caught this piece one other time on the internets and didn’t find out who was behind its masterful origins, until today, when it popped up on the Guerilla Garden blog. Always a sucker for a good time lapse vid.
Great work from Filthe at the Guerilla Garden space in Denver.

Project Hello is an idea/event that has been manifested to provide a platform for Denver creatives to get together and rub elbows, slap skins, talk shop, and gather inspiration while exposing their work among peers. The event will also help foster and provide context for the community at large to unite, build, and shape a supportive artistic community in Denver. Project Hello will run for one day and will be curated in a “festival or salon” like setting at the TAXI building on May 1, 2010.
Less than two weeks away – Submission Deadline is March 1, 2010 to be considered for exhibition inclusion. Creatives of all shapes & sizes in various stages of artistic career & development are encouraged to submit. There are a few guidelines for submission, all interested should send the required info and content to projecthellodenver[at]gmail.com.
Matt Scobey just wrapped up an insightful interview with the gals behind Project Hello Sandra Fettingis & Louise Martorano which has been posted on the PH site for viewing pleasure. Sandra and Lisa shed some light on what you can expect from both submitting to and attending the event. The Project Hello crew has also worked up a Facebook page to keep us all in the know.
Cheers to Sandra, Lisa, and everyone else involved in helping bring this event to life…. I’ll be participating and look forward to seeing some radness and meeting some shiny new souls on May 1st!

The gentlemen at Legwork Studio are staying busy as cuss and it’s no secret why. One of the most recent pieces to astound and inspire is their design for ICON’s seasonal promo mailer. I know, I know… it’s only a CD mailer right? Well, this project is only one in a stack of well thought out and produced pieces by Legwork. Plus I’m a sucker for informational videos…

The 4th installation of Shoe Shine is dropping on Denver this Saturday. Jasmine Solano, MU$A, and a handful of special guests will be dropping notes, beats, and tunes on ear drums while visitors geek out on assorted visual goodness. Shoe Shine versions 1.o, 2.o, and 3.o have been more than noteworthy… 4.o will be one for the books. I would most definitely suggest making an appearance and sneaking in a few pelvic thrust uppercuts™ if possible.
Artists:
Jay Paul Apodaca · Marz · Jon Strieby · Shitty Kitten · Jher 451 · Scot Lefavor · Andrew Kimmel · Raul Pinto · FILTHE · Delton Demarest & Karma Leigh · MoeH · Make Graves · EmmanueLabor

Josh Holland is one of the BEST illustrators I know. His imagination never ceases to amaze… which might sound like a cliche, but really. I have no idea how he can blow an idea out so well and make it look entirely effortless (of course its not). I’m also sort of in love with his blog, mainly for all of the sketches and process oriented things he posts. Love it.
This piece is for an upcoming PBR show this Saturday in Denver at Illiterate & Indy Ink.
Check out Josh’s blog, follow him on Twitter and stalk him on FB if you care to.

Legwork Studio has been whoopin aces since their somewhat recent start a year or so back. Just today they announced their progress over that period of time and to no surprise, they have acquired two new partners and updated their site with a firey hot new motion reel. These gentlemen are no doubt a great addition to the swelling Denver creative community.

I recently ran across this piece while cruising around on FPO… and felt compelled to re-post and share for a few reasons. First off, this piece is fucking solid… all the way around… from concept to execution… flawless. Secondly, after a double take, I realized the work was created by Barnhart one of Denver’s oldest advertising agencies via local designer Jim Hargreaves. ‘The Welcoming Guide’ was created to seduce the pants off potential client ‘Larkburger’ was produced using recycled materials: fast-food bags, newspaper, sandwich wrappers, various junk mail, and printed in-house on Barnhart’s laser printer… a DIY effort through and through.
I think this is a grand example of work aimed at grabbing a potential clients interest without whoring yourself out by doing spec work. It’s honest, creative, and well-executed… A tip of the hat, and slap of the skins are in order for all those responsible for helping bring this piece to life.

From the sounds of those I know that made it to the show and the photos I’ve seen, it appears to have done really well. Make sure to swing by the Bordo Bello site for photos and additional information about this past event. Thank you again Elysia and AIGA Colorado for the opportunity to be involved.
