The Art Crawl is a very powerful force in the art community here in Nashville, so we decided to have a gallery owner operator appreciation night. We thank all the hard work they put in each month getting these shows together to create an unbelievable evening every first Saturday. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Audroc did 6 posters for the night to support Dr. Sketchys Anti-Art School. This event happens every third Sunday of the month at the 5 Spot in East Nashville. Next months posters will be sickening.
The Rebellion will have work up for all of August at The Good Cup 2181 Hillsboro Rd. FrankliN TN (Grassland). The store closes at 6pm everyday so come early and while your there try the blueberry coffee, it's amazing.
AudRoc did a painting demo at Jerry's Artarama in Antioch and gave out a couple of prints that will be available later this month. Rex and Rago painted Sunday. Check back to see what they did.
We got with our dude Talmage over at Phat Kaps today. He had asked for oe of our Honor Thy Kicks posters, so we finally got it out there to him. His spot always has the very freshest footwear. We're out there tomorrow for the Stevie Williams meet and great. Come see us.
So Rex2 made the trophies for Funky Fighter (b-boy event), but he wanted to make something for the out-of-town judges and DJs. So he made six of these posters (9" x 24") for them.
You already know WorkForce Rebellion is down with b-boy culture. So Rex2 was happy to create a pair of trophies for Funky Fighter. Funky Fighter is a 2 vs 2 break dance competition going down tonight at Rocketown. The inspiration comes from the 90s video game Funky Fighter, and the pose the main character strikes after knocking out a monster. The winning duo gets $800 and the trophies. We'll let you know who wins.
We're doing another in-store at Phat Kaps. This time it will be Saturday, August 1, 1-3 pm. Stevie Williams from DGK will be there signing autographs. If you get there early you might get one of these 6x9 prints Rex2 made and have Stevie sign it. And KidsMeal will be inside putting down the sounds. This one is going to be extra nice.
Posted earlier is Ragoe and Rex2 getting down at a block party thrown by Beat Kangz. Here is Ragoe's finished piece. It is two 36" (tall) x 48" (wide) canvases.
Pako busted out 5 different designs (one style not pictured) of these 6"x9" canvases. Each one is an old piece of his freight train graffiti (early 2000s) which he created a stencil of. Then details are hand painted to each. They are all really sick, and now Available in our ONLINE STORE for only $40 each.
Audroc did 7 posters for the night to support Dr. Sketchys especial since they came and supported the Rebellion at The Art Crawl last month. Dr. Sketchys happens every third Sunday of the month at the 5 Spot in East Nashville.
So the two official DJs in WorkForce Rebellion are Wick-It and KidsMeal. We love what they do and are honored that they want to be a part of our budding movement. Here is (top) Wick-It hanging with AudRoc at Mashville, and KidsMeal with his brother Sam (an incredible musician also) in their backyard.
The dudes from Beat Kangz (new beat making software) had a big block party as part of the NAMM Convention. They had Rex2 and Rago come and rock some canvases. It was a fun party and a perfect day for painting. (*Note the Rex2 piece is not complete.)
Rago showed this piece for the first time at the Art Crawl After Party at Billups Arts in East Nashville (5 Points). It is one piece on eleven canvases.
Pako does some very intricate, multi-layered stencils. His architectural paintings really show the technique well. These new skylines (note The Pinnacle at Symphony Place on the right) were debuted at the July Art Crawl. The photos do not do them justice.
