Mompou Restaurant: Solo Exhibition PaperMonster

—————————————————

Earlier this week PaperMonster (myself) went into a rampage of painting. I have been working on group, solo shows, and other design projects for the past couple of weeks. I am doing a small exhibition of works for a restaurant. I will be sending over some pieces to DrityPilot.com to showcase some of the experimental works that I have created before my solo show with them. (very excited about those pieces) PaperMonster will be releasing two new t-shirt designs: one this week and another once DirtyPilot has posted the works in their group show section. Below are some preview images of the restaurant hanging.
I will be doing a solo exhibition for the restaurant from May 9th until June 5th.
It will take place in Mompou Restaurant:
Mompou Tapas Bar
77 Ferry Street
Newark, NJ
visit: www.mompoutapas.com/
For purchase info contact: v@papermonster.org

Stenciling on grass is fantastic.

I truly love this space. It is just so beautiful. Must see!!

These paintings are 2 of almost 8 of the paintings on the top main floor. They all look fantastic under the lighting.

The restaurant has an incredible entrance that opens up to fresh fresh air. Truly a beautiful location.

Hope that you enjoy the images. I am working hard on writing much less and showing much more. Life is a work in progress. Stay tuned for a new T-shirt release celebrating the restaurant show.
Thanks

Stencil Event feat. PaperMonster

——————————————————–
Earlier this week I was invited to Drew University to create some stencils and help with a stencil/muralist event which La Casa Latina (Theme House) was holding for the campus. This free event gave people the opportunity to create t-shirts using stencil and fabric paint to create beautiful pieces of walking art. The weather was fantastic and I brought along some things to demonstrate how more complex stencil pieces are put together. Overall it was a fantastic time and the theme house did a great job of providing a means of self expression for the campus. In addition to the event I was invited by a curator to create several pieces which will be shown in a restaurant name Mompou (located inNewark, New Jersey’s Ironbound District.) The space is incredible and I will post some preview pictures after the hanging next week. Here are some pictures from the stencil art event. Enjoy.

I cut some simple stencils for students to use on t-shirts.

Spraypaint and stencils makes a perfect combination.

There were tons of people out for the event.
Finished shirt laying out to dry.
When I first started stenciling, this was the easiest method to making shirts on a ten dollar budget.

PaperMonster canvases prepared and ready for the final touches.

Finished pieces and tools of the trade.

This is one of the two spaces which I will be placing several pieces. More images from Mompou coming soon. Enjoy.

About Yuri’s Night!!!::::::::::::::::::::::::
April 12, 1961 Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin embarked on the historic first manned space flight. Twenty years later on 12 April 1981, the US launched the first space shuttle flight. We think that’s something worth celebrating! Every year on April 12th Yuri’s Night parties are held all around the world; it’s like the St. Patrick’s Day or Cinco de Mayo for space.

Join us for an OUT OF THIS WORLD experience. Dress yourself in your best celestial attire (prizes awarded). See an art exhibition of other-worldly magnitude. Enjoy space-themed libations by Stoli Vodka. Experience heavenly bodies through cosmic burlesque performances. Space out with a Russian-style, post-punk band. Enjoy, and temporarily elevate yourself from an earthly existence.

Featuring space-themed artwork by: Alan Defibaugh, Arabella Proffer-Vendetta, Bryan C, Brandi Read, Chris Bishop, Jared Davis, Jason Snyder, Julie Steiner, Olivier Defaye, Papermonster, Scott G Brooks, Sean Welker, Shawn Huddleston, and Todd Gardner.

Performances by Miss Saturn, Gilded Lily Burlesque, L’il Dutch, and Landless Theatre Company.

Art Whino Gallery Opening!! Images and Video

————————————————————

————————————-
I recently had a gallery opening for a group show at Art Whino (artwhino.com) in Alexandria, Va over the weekend. It was amazing. I was able to meet a ton of great people and I was extremely surprised at the ridiculous turn out of people. The actual gallery itself is massive with at everywhere from the hallways to the bathrooms. It is very impressive and so professional. The staff at Art Whino and the owners have done a great job and have brought an incredible art scene to that area. I gave out PaperMonster stickers the entire night and everyone had a great time. The gallery even had a live painting session feat J. Coleman. The solo show room was also massive. As you can see above, there is a video of the opening that I put together from the group show. I didn’t have a chance to get footage of all the artist in the show but it gives you a good taste of what to expect. Be sure to check out the show if your are in the area or view images of works in the show at artwhino.com. Thank you to everyone who can and showed some love, and stay posted for news on upcoming projects and shows!!!

Art Whino banners everywhere!! They run the city!!These were the paintings from PaperMonster that were in the show.

It was really nice to see a good number of people excited about all of the forms of art on display.

A shot of the live painting by J. Coleman. It was so loud you could feel the floor vibrate. Amazing.

People really gravitated to Whirlwind on the left. I think it was the stickers!!
