Posted by juggernut3, October 8, 2009

Go big… that’s whatÂ Ana Bagayan (featured) is aiming for with this show apparently.

This Friday, her new body of work, “Critters” willÂ open up alongsideÂ Tin (interviewed)Â & Ryan Heshka at Roq La Rue. AM has a preview of the latest set of paintings from this very talented artist to share with you after the jump…

Baby Tattooville ’09: Art Jam

Posted by juggernut3, October 6, 2009

If the artists at Baby Tattooville are the heart of the event, then the “Art Jam” is definitely the bloodline that is pumping throughout the event. Starting at 5pm on the opening day and lasting a little past 8pm the next night, “Art Jam” is a culmination of the all the participating artist’s hard work. Like in previous years, the blank canvas was tinkered with by a few brave artists during the initial dinner, but by the time midnight rolled around, one could clearly see […]

Baby Tattooville ’09: “The Goodie Bag”

Posted by sleepboy, October 6, 2009

One of the more common questions Baby Tattooville attendees are asked is “what do you get out of it?” Well, aside from an intimate setting to socialize with artists and collectors, and an opportunity to gain insight into artists and their work through various discussions and reverse studio visits (more on this later), there are of course more material benefits. The “goodie bags” are distributed to BT attendees at the end of the event and includes originals, prints, and various art products from all the […]

Baby Tattooville ’09: Buff Monster

Posted by sleepboy, October 5, 2009

One thing that Baby Tattooville attendees definitely noticed this year was the fact that they received much more original art to take home with them.Â Last year, there seemed to be more “art products” given out, ie prints, art toys, etc… That is not to say that they aren’t appreciated, especially the hand customized figures by Buff Monster for this years BT.Â Throughout the weekend, Buff Monster could be seen working on the toys as well as sketching for fans.Â You will also soon see […]

Baby Tattooville ’09: Curious Art Sale

Posted by Khoi, October 4, 2009

During each annual Baby Tattooville, artists produce exclusive artwork for an all-one-print that includes each and every piece.Â The original artwork that is used for that print is available first to attendees of the event, then if any pieces are still available, the public will have a chance to buy.Â The order in which those lucky BT-goers receive the opportunity to purchase is based on their ticket number (those who were the first to register get lower numbers).Â It is a wonderful opportunity to skip […]
