SHARPIE SHOW EXHIBITION - Feb 7 - Mar 1, 2009
The Sharpie Show concept and participating artist list is gaining exposure and word is traveling fast. I wanted to further extend the detail of our show/exhibit to you in hopes for a Feature, Review and/or Event Coverage for this exciting event. In return, Crewest will notify our contacts of your support to help promote your organization as well. Please let me know if you are ineterested.
Attached, is a few sneak peaks of artwork submitted by Mike Giant, Greg "Craola" Simkins and Flycat. I am amazed of the detail put into their work and it's crazy that all that work was done by one simple tool - The Sharpie. For further info on these artists, check out their link in the Press Release below. Remember, this is work done by only a few of the participating artsts for this show, imagine all the additional various styles and ideas which will be on display!!!
Again, thank you for your interest and Support with The Sharpie Show, an exhibit curated by renown graffiti artist Man One, featuring original pieces created using Sharpies by some of the best known graffiti artists in the country (and beyond).

The Sharpie Show
"An exhibition by artists who utilize marking pens as part of their craft"
Opening Reception with Beats by DJ Phyz Ed and Live Printing by Two Rabbits:
Saturday, February 7th, 2009 from 6pm - 9pm
In the Graffiti subculture, practitioners are known as "writers" because graffiti is about writing your name on as many surfaces as possible. Although many writers elevate their art form to the level of creating huge and beautiful murals, they all began their journey as an artist by first learning to write and perfect their name. The Sharpie marker is often the first tool a writer acquires in his lifelong journey to hone his craft and in becoming an artist.
The Sharpie Show, an exhibition curated by renown graffiti artist Man One, featuring original pieces created using Sharpies by some of the best known graffiti artists in the country (and beyond). Aside from graffiti artists, work by tattoo artists and known illustrators; Lalo Alcaraz and Overton Loyd will be on display. From stylized hand signatures, to throw ups, piecebooks, stickers, and any other possible object that can be marked upon, this exhibit will demonstrate the level of creativity that can be achieved between an artist and his/her most basic tool - The Sharpie.
***Exhibit runs thru March 1st, 2009***
