This Is My conrtibution to Zack Soto's Curatorial debut at the Pony Club Gallery. I believe this to be one of the finest shows, everything was mindblowingly mga rad-diculouse!!!! Thanks Zack for having me, It was truly magical:)

Here Is the upcoming show and a taste of what I have to show in it! Theo Ellsworth invited me to help throw a show of Imaginary civilizations at the Pony Club Gallery. ARE YOU READY!!!!!!!!!

Seattle express

Kinoko gave me the opportunity at her space "The Wayward Cafe" to present a show, and I wanted to tour my 1st installment of "Livng To get radical". So Stefan Saito, Amy Kuttab and I packed up my pieces and hopped a train up to Seattle. Kinoko and her friend Danielle were very hospitable and provided us with super rad room and board in there house. We had mega times eating some extremly deliciouse vegan food at the Wayward and record shoping like squirles collecting all the best nuts all over the city! Kinoko has a space for 1st Thursday in a massive building made up of artist studio's where she sells her books, plushies, stickers, and original art.
We scoped out the place and Kinoko kindly threw my own stash of books up for sale in her space.
Awesome times were had by all!
Im excited to return when we will be throwing a shows end drawing party and then dance party in the same evening. If your in Seattle on the 3rd of May you should stop by and get radical with me. If your passing through between now and then you should still stop by and let me know what you thought:)

Repeat After ME!

1st thing I wanna thank David Youngblood for having me in this wonderful show at the Pony Club! It turned out beautiful!!!

Mine is the heart shaped one:)

Next I wanna Thank Jason for hosting the raddest show yet with mega Team Stefan Saito, Catherine Peach, and me of coarse!
I also wanna thank everyone who came to the opening and supported the raddness! So many wonderful people I hadn't gotten to see during the months of preparation. The Gejius, Weston, Mary, Jackabee, The Hibert dudestars! Seriously, so nice to see you:)

Below are some pictures from the show (soon to be more) and a write up Jason wrote that made my heart melt.

By Jason
March 1st Thursday at Floating World welcomes back Sean Christensen, founder of the Awesome But True Electric Institute, an art collective that includes artists from Portland and a growing global network of artists from all over the world. For this group show he is joined by two longtime friends and art collaborators, Catherine Peach and Stefan Saito.

For the show "Repeat After Me", the three friends produced an original series of works that flows like an illustrated game of telephone. One artist starts with an image of any kind, and then they pass it on to the next artist who interprets it with their own personal style and attention to detail. Then the 3rd artist just gets to see the 2nd illustration so their final drawing could be totally different than the original. The artists themselves are keeping the finished illustrations secret until the night of the show so even they don't know what the results will be. See each artist's interpretation of themes like space station inspectors, international bicycle races, 'Weekend At Bernies' themed dance parties, made up gods, and other electric awesomeness.

"Repeat After Me" runs through Mar. 31

It's been exactly a year since Sean's last show here at Floating World, and in the meantime he's curated shows at Reading Frenzy and been featured in shows at Pony Club, Moshi Moshi, Acorn, Grendel's Coffee, and other Portland galleries. He also produces new art zines on a very regular basis and directs music videos and art for local electronic musician, Gejius.

Catherine Peach recently moved back to Portland from Philadelphia. She got her BFA in painting at PNCA. Her work has been featured in shows at the Pony Club, Tender Loving Empire, and Floating World Comics. She says her work can be summed up with, "Unicorns, candy and cat girls… that's all you need in life.

Stefan Saito also graduated from PNCA with a degree in illustration. He is fascinated by cartoon characters and television, unintentionally structuring his oeuvre on the confusing relationship between Garfield and
Heathcliff.

The Crew

WOW! What a night of maximum radology! I Met Jim Woodring and we traded Sketch book drawings at the opening for the beautiful friends of the Nib show at Floating World Comics. me and the mega pals Catherine Peach and Amy Kuttab swung then over to The Pony Club and the joint was hopp'n with swarms of radsters chek'n out all the wall business. A truly great turnout of people and artists among the wall. Great job Jennifer:)
Then we bounced into The Sugar Gallery next door to find mega pals Brody and Julia Gfrorer where she had a super hot mega show of erotic work! We danced and jammed to some daft Punk, and then we rolled over to Tender Loving Empire for our mega presentation of collaborative works. We met warm welcome and made valentines under the lime light of our hard labors of love among the wall. Met loads of new rad dooders Hung with old rad dooders and had a truly Awesome Night!!! Then I fell into bed with love at my side and watched Muppet Babies till I passed out:)
Thank you to all of you who came out. For those who missed out, the shows will be up through the month, come out and see all the Awesome walls!
