Okay, this is for a good cause. Yep 9/11 10th year is tomorrow. To commemorate this day, a print was designed in honor of the WTC and all proceeds will go to the Fire Fighter Cancer Foundation.
“It’s an emblem of two interlocked squares derived from the foundations of the towers. Our intent is to offer a symbol abstract enough to hold anyone’s interpretation of that morning but suggestive enough to relate to the event.
For us‚ this mark conveys the challenging but eternal lesson of that morning: we are as one. Just as we fall together‚ we can only rise together. Living with such empathy for one another is a steep mountain to climb. But we believe it is both the path out of 9-11 and the path we must trudge throughout life. This lesson is the permanent mark that day has left on us one decade later.”-Collins

Art Galleries and Exhibitions
Pangeaseed, in collaboration with Spoke Art plans to hold an exhibition in support to raise awareness of the rapid and mass depletion of one of natures most incredible creatures, sharks. Featured will be original works from 30 internationally renowned artists such as Dave Kinsey, Josh Keyes, Dan May, Jim Phillips, Jeff Soto and many more. So much talent!
Each year, a staggering 80 million sharks are killed, most of them are killed only for their fins to satisfy an unsustainable appetite for shark fin soup. In the cruel practice known as “finning,” the shark is hooked and brought aboard the boat where its fins are then cut off and the still alive but limbless animal is tossed back into the sea. With no instruments to move, the helpless shark sinks to the ocean floor and eventually drowns. Sharks, being “apex predators”, play a vital role in keep the oceans fish population in balance. Without them, you would see an unnatural overpopulation of fish that would not be sustainable in the natural balance of the ecosystem.
PangeaSeed is a Tokyo-based grassroots organization dedicated to educating and raising international awareness on the plight of sharks. Through volunteer activism and various mediums including art, music, film, and photography, PangeaSeed aims to create an open dialog with the global community to develop an understanding of the need to preserve and protect sharks and their habitat.
Sink or Swim will run in San Francisco from 23 ~ 25 September 2011. In support of proposed bill (AB376) to ban shark fin in California State, Sink or Swim offers the community new perspectives on this widely misunderstood and demonized animal. Also, in addition to raising funds to keep sharks afloat both in Japan and around the world PangeaSeed will donate a percentage of the proceeds from Sink or Swim to organizations aiding animals affected by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
One notable print to be featured at this event is Josh Keyes Scorch I piece:

"Humanity" by Chuck Sperry. 22" x 33" Screenprint. Ed of 50 S/N.
I wanted to communicate the “visible” world and the “hidden” world that everything in objective reality depends on. Like the world of “ideas” and the world of “objects.” Or the world of spirit and the world of life. The individual struggle and the human struggle.
It’s a sort of yin yang idea….
There’s this greater submerged “underground” reality – it is larger – breaks over the bounds of the poster. It could represent spirit or humanity. The above ground living flower is represented as transitory (it is losing petals in the wind) – but it’s roots go down from the heart to the heart of the submerged reality – where it is fed – and eternal.
The hard part was to show something this complicated in a simple and pleasing graphic.”- Chuck Sperry
David Soukup is really taking stencil-art to the next level with his amazingly skilled and intricate stencil-work he is doing. Right now he is geared up for an exhibition opening at The Phone Booth Gallery taking place this September 17th. Featured are several new stencil pieces he has done. Most of his stencils are so intricate that he could only use them a few times before the stencils got clogged up.
From this show, he plans to release 2 screenprints of his stencil art. Both are 18″ x 24″ Screenprints, with an edition size of $45, or $80 as a set. If you are in the Long Beach, CA area, do try and make the opening. If not, you can hopefully grab some stuff the following day online. Keep posted!
