DVLP New Years Art Show

On December 31st, 2008 I was invited to do a group art show at the infamous DVLP offices.  DVLP Clothing is an amazing brand based out of Denver, CO.  DVLP  is a fashion-forward brand that has been making rad radder for the better part of the new millennium and I have been amazingly fortunate enough to be associated with such an inspiring brand.  Over the last few years this phenomenon has "developed" in the Denver area.  After moving their young brand from the sleepy mountain town of Durango, CO to the big city DVLP has been a main-stay in the Denver fashion and boardsports market.  Hailing from a warehouse hidden in the bowels of downtown DVLP has been cranking out top notch goodies for years and staying true to creating a product that honestly represents the lifestyles so many of us live everyday.  Just a simple tour of their facility leaves you inspired to make something or do something.... These guys have it figured out!

One of the cool things we did for this show was have every participating artist design a 9x9 panel to be collectively displayed.  I went with something a little different for mine and tried a little wheatpaste/collage...


The DVLP offices are a one-of-a-kind place, not only do the house the entire business operation they serve as a massive studio for all things creative...




  The work I had up for the show...



 

One of the cool things they did for this show was have a ongoing photo shoot during the party...  Everybody loves to be a model, here's some of the evidence of alcohol consumption...



And of course it was New Years Eve..... WE PARTIED!!!
