SPECIAL EVENT:
PAUL FRANK'S ACADEMY OF AWESOME
SEATTLE TOUR STOP!!!
Location: parking lot at 35th & Phinney (also home to Fremont Outdoor Movies) from 6-9pm on Sept. 2nd
The Academy of Awesome Mobile Tour debuted on June 25, 2011 with a kick off party in Los Angeles, Calif. The giant blue Winnebago, covered in the signature Paul Frank monkey face logo (known to fans as "Julius"), has made its way East across the Southern portion of the United States and will be coming back through the Northern Route.
Tour stops will showcase a retrospective exhibit displaying limited edition co-branded products dating back over a decade. Other activities include a Creation Station where aspiring designers of all ages can submit art for the chance to create an exclusive Paul Frank t-shirt sold at Paulfrank.com, a battle of the bands, silk screening, ping-pong, a “puppy prom” inspired fashion show and so much more. The Winnebago will feature a product showroom and lounge showcasing Paul Frank’s latest collection. The newly equipped Winnebago also features interactive stations for social media and music all driven by custom designed furniture incorporating the ipad.
“We have a lot of fun every day creating new products and artwork that we release each season,” said Ryan Heuser, Chief Creative Officer of Paul Frank. “The Academy of Awesome Tour allows us to share that creative process and engage our fans directly with our influences. Maybe you’ll learn how to silk screen a shirt? Maybe you’ll hear a new favorite band? Or learn about a new character? The idea is for us to get out on the road and share our creative experience. We will be spreading some of our own brand of fun, directly back to our fans through events, activities and of course, Julius.”

"Recently, I have turned my hands away from fabric and machine stitch to freeform hand-knitting to create three-dimensional abstract fiber works. Inspired by large shapes in nature, such as mountain sides and mima mounds, they are studies of serenity and strength. The softness of the knit structures belies the ruggedness of the hard solids of rocky mountainsides and packed earth of the mounds. Other pieces are brighter and whimsical, using the media to lighten the emotion." - Maki

Artist: Allie Fraley, Watercolors
"My illustration style began developing over the past year, when I decided to give portraits to two of my good friends on their wedding day. It was such a fun and encouraging experience, that I decided to go crazy and do more! I find the human face to be such a fascinating subject; and I'm a huge pop culture freak, so film characters, singers, and fashion models are my favorite to illustrate." - Fraley Check out her blog here.

Artist: Fiona McGuigan, Paintings
Born of Scottish parents, raised in Switzerland, trained by the Dutch at the de Kooning Academie, figurative painter Fiona McGuigan brings a worldly view to her paintings of wrestlers and dancers. Her current work is all about capturing the human figure in motion, finding the moment of impact when bodies collide and exploring the nationalistic overtones found in images of Swiss wrestling.
Fiona’s work has been seen at the Whatcom County Museum in Bellingham, Gallery 110 in Seattle, Gallery One in Ellensburg, and at the Stage Gallery in New York. Her paintings have also been shown at the School of Visual Concepts in Seattle, where Fiona trained and is now the assistant director.

"Every moment we are exposed to countless details. We are not always aware of the details encounter but they can make life to be humorous, unpleasant, awkward and so many other things. I choose to emphasize these overlooked moments of life with hopes of finding some understanding. We have to be willing to look deeper for meaning because many situations are not as simple as we think." - Gonzales
BONUS: $1 off dumplings when you mention the phrase "Make Art, not war".

Artist: Cait Willis, Acrylic Paintings
"The Weak Signal Series lifts particularly glitchy stills from an old TV. I then paint based on the digital photos from the stills. I work in acrylics on canvas employing a technique mostly seen in Grecian pottery called sgraffiti. This entails painting or glazing over a darker ground a lighter ground and then exposing the darker ground through the act of scratching or drawing into the surface. This creates a highly graphic line that is the armature of the rest of the picture. I strive to get the nature of the life behind the gaze of my subjects. It is their character that informs the line and color." - Willis
