St. Paddy's Day Flier

You know what's always guaranteed to be a nice, quiet, civilized night on the town? St. Patrick's Day. A time when people pay respectful homage to a culture they feel deeply connected to, like in that Simpson's episode where Homer puts the keg of beer on his head and says "I'm the Prime Minister of Ireland". Anywhoo, here's a flier I made for a St. Paddy's show at the Rosebud. You should totally go.

AIB & Stickermule Stickers

John Burkett was nice enough to ask me to come in to AIB to be a visiting artist in his Opaque Media class. I showed some of my work and did a demo on some of my favorite gouache techniques and made this little Valentines painting. Thanks to John and all of his students for being such awesome hosts!

Yesterday when I got home my Stickermule order was waiting for me! Yay! These are the first die cut custom stickers I've had made and I love 'em. They do all kinds of custom sticky stuff, ipad, iphone skins, you name it. Check out their site for more info.

Robot G.U.T.S. 3

I went up to Monserrat this week to paint with Fish McGill and a bunch of other cool people as part of Fishs' Robot G.U.T.S. 3 installation at the 301 Gallery. The project was a collaboration between Fish, Boston area artists and Monserrat students ending with all of the art being auctioned off (for free!) I couldn't go to the closing party or raffle last night but I'm sure it was awesome. And I'm sure you already knew about it because you follow Fishs' blog. Do it! I got to eat a burrito the size of my head. I met cool people like Lizzie Siegel and a a super nice Monserrat student there who shared his Polaroid printer thing with us. It was awesome. Many thanks to Jamie and Ryan for giving me a ride to the Bev and to Fish and Sheryl for taking such awesome photos.

Stickertown 5000

Did I say thanks for coming to 242 last Friday? No? I totally meant to. If you missed it you can still go check it out this Friday some 6-8pm time, same 242 E. Berkeley St place. I'm working on a sticker design for the super awesome custom sticker site Stickermule. They can make iphone skins, they can make die cuts, they can make you happy! Check 'em out.

All done! Finishing up the companion piece...

Good Vs. Evil Progress

I'm working on finishing up pieces for the Space242 Good VS. Evil show...here's the progress on the first one. I loved reading and collecting X-Men growing up and later on became a big Atomics/Mike Allred fan. Cribbing from those influences and 60's era movie posters for these pieces. Really excited to finish them. Yay art.

L'il Witches

Finished l'il witches pieces...these girls were in the Freeky Friday Nights 242 show back in October. Finishing up some superhero inspired stuff for the next 242 show that opens at the end of the month.

Happy New Year! Here's a show flyer I made inspired by my love of Art Chantry and this book I got for Christmas called "Naive: Modernism and Folklore in Contemporary Graphic Design".

Goodbye California

Pics from the wedding I went to on Catalina. It rained the entire time and looked like Lord of the Rings. Plus there was champagne! And a kid who could do the worm. And Alex and Jeremie pledging their eternal love.

Ghostwords II!

Just finished a commission based on my "Ghostwords" piece! OG on the left, new version on the right. Also, the Small Works group show opens tonight, but you already knew that because you're there having a good time without me.

Karmaloop Painting Day!

Happy Thanksgiving! Yesterday Fish and I painted at Karmaloop AND IT WAS THE BEST TIME EVER. It was a really nice day and when we were done we ate veggie chili served by a surly woman we dubbed "Babs". My piece was about girls and skulls and Fish made robots! Thanks to everyone at Karmaloop for being such gracious hosts and to everyone who stopped by and gave us hi-fives. In way more annoying news, my webhost is being a little buggy. If you need to get in touch with me email me at amandabrownclarke@gmail.com.

Tampoffs, You're Under Arrest, Institutionalized at the Rosebud Saturday, Dec. 4th

I made this flyer for this show. You should go. Tomorrow, ra ra Rochester. Yessssss.

I ♥ Character Art and other stuff

Here's a sneak peek at a project I've been working on! Also, I wonder what fun things I'll do this summer? Oh wait. It's Thanksgiving. The end of summer/beginning of Fall flew by and the next couple of weeks are going to be just as busy.
Let's make a list shall we?

1. Tonight is the last night of Space242's Halloween Show! If you still want to check it out gallery hours are 6-8 pm.

2. 1975's Anniversary Show closes tonight too! If you're in the ROC check that out tonight. You can also read an article about my friend Erich who runs 1975 and is an all around awesome person here.

3. Tomorrow I'm heading to NYC to check out Pictoplasma. This year, it's only one day but it's FREE. I went two years ago and it was mind bogglingly good. Really excited to see Nathan Jurevicius' talk.

4. My friend Brian is putting together a show at Lorem Ipsum Books for the first week of December if you're interested in submitting work the deadline is this Monday the 15th. More info here.

5. Man Or Astroman? is playing the Middle East Down this Sunday. OMFG.

6. I'm going to California soon for my bestest friends wedding. One time in high school she gave me a pair of overalls that were made out of hemp and my mom took them away because they had pot leaves on the buttons. She also had all of her Beastie Boys posters mounted to foam core so they would stay pristine and we could properly worship them. Awesome. She also has a blog now where she talks about cooking and traveling and stuff. The header image is from when we went to Amsterdam together the first time and had mint tea. Oh yeah, and one time we drove around LA listening to "It's Not Unusual" really loud and it was the most fun ever. Alex is the best.

Happy Halloween!

My neighborhood really rallies behind Halloween. Projections on houses? Check. Illuminated mummies? Double check. If I only had a picture of my neighbor who's child went trick or treating as "single stream recycling". I love you, Cambridge.

Space 242 Freeky Fright Nights!

Thanks to everyone who was at Space 242 last night for the first Freeky Fright Nights opening. I'm honored to be in such a great show with so many talented and super nice people. The second opening is Friday, October 29th so if you were too busy working on your Snookie costume to make it to the show last night, there's still a chance for you to drink free beer with fun people.
