Party for Change.

Young America's favorite RISD graduate, Shepard Fairey, is throwing a party on August 1st at Los Angeles' Echoplex as a fundraiser for Barack Obama's presidential campaign. Just imagine how much tang you'll get when you can honestly claim that you helped America with a PBR in one hand and a Parliament in the other!

Fairey will have a DJ set along with the illustrious DJ Z-Trip and Adam 12 of She Wants Revenge fame.

For more information and to purchase tickets online, go to Echo website.

sea no evil.

This Saturday, July 12th, the Sea No Evil Art Benefit will be exhibited at the Riverside Art Museum. The show is meant to raise funds and awareness for The Sea Shepard Conservation Society. Paul Watson, the founder of the society will serve as a guest speaker, Matt Costa will be crooning on the rooftop, while Shepard Fairey of Obey Giant fame will be spinning inside.

The participating artists are a Who's Who of this blog's favorites (i.e. Templeton, Oh, Cheuk, etc.), but I have to say I'm kind of proud that one of the people I constantly see while roaming the halls of Art Center, Theodora Allen is exhibiting her work. Theo is making quite a name for herself nowadays with her fine art photography, so I suggest that you check her stuff out.
