Geeking out in 2010

2010-03-29T11:58:00.001-07:00

Hope everyone is having a great start to 2010, hard to believe it's almost Spring!
We, at Urban Canvas, have been very busy. Art is life and life is art; Urban Canvas is definitely living it up!

Our lovely founder, L7, will be tearing it up in San Fran soon and spreading the Urban Canvas love.
We recently threw an awesome party at the Mountain Bar, The Big Trade Up.
Music, mayhem and swapping! (get your mind out of the gutter!) Swapping, as in trading items. A bartering show of sorts, our way of contributing to the green of our planet.

Right now we have something really geektacular going on! So get that geek gear ready and take your best geek shot! You could win original art from an Urban Canvas artist if you are the most geek-dreamy of them all!

From the mouth of L7:
"Geeks are taking over the world if you or someone you know qualify please submit your photo. If you become one of Urban Canvas's Poster Child you could win one free work of art from a UC artist. "

Need ideas? Here is Miss L7 geeking it out with her crew:

Even the kids are doing it, you should too!

OPEN CALL FOR ARTWORK:

Urban Canvas presents the annual Dia de los Muertos @ the Mountain Bar in Chinatown. A one day event to show us your best death face. We are accepting all work that uses death and/or Quinceanera aesthetics as a way to celebrate, revere and invoke our ancestors (or death itself). If you interested send an email to nadia.elisian@gmail.com with a jpeg of the piece.

Thanks,

Samantha Allflatt has designed a few awesome tee's for Threadless, and we think you should totally take a look!

The designs she made are specifically for a t-shirt design contest on www.threadless.com.
People are given 7 days to vote and comment on the designs. The ones with the highest scores get printed, and the artist gets some sweet promotion.
