Yesterday there were a number of art things going on in and around downtown Austin, all pretty cool, but one in particular that I was looking forward to. Public School, a collective of Austin based graphic artists and photographers, had a show of their work with some of the prints for sale at Thuderbird Coffee (which is a very nice coffee place for the record). In their own words: "PUBLIC SCHOOL is a group of creative folk working on the east side of Austin together, yet not together. The same studio, different professions. Similar tastes, varying favorite Bob Dylan song. Consistently unified love for the Mexican food on the east side of town."I particularly like the work of Will Bryant who makes awesome graphic prints like this:
Also Justin Cox has some snazzy poster designs I want to decorate my future apartment's walls with:
I talked to a few of the guys and they were all super nice (cheers guys!) and told me that they have an open door policy over at their space and have parties every now and again for all you art lovers out there.
Also that night there was a display of digital art over at Club DeVille put on by Amoda, that featured a live set from Cadenece Weapon (his first show since becoming a poet laureate) and Florene, plus DJ sets from Mexicans With Guns and Space Jockey. I got some serious dance on during Cadence Weapon (who y'all should check out) so if you were there you might have seen a guy in a blue t-shirt and converse making frenzied shapes. Some of the art animations were very impressive too and I reccomend going along to future Amoda events.
