“Know By Heart” by Julie Hill and Ryan Young

Julie Hill works mainly in pen and ink.  She likes drawing details and romance, which often translates as girls, birds and the occasional bunch of flowers. She lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, works as an interactive designer, and spends a lot of her free time torn between her conflicting hobbies of dancing and knitting.  She is an active member in the creative collective Projectmill, and her artwork has shown in Los Angeles, London, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Ann Arbor.

Ryan P. Young is originally from the exotic land of Cincinnati Ohio. He remains in the mid west walking the sidewalks of Chicagoland while studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where he is attempting to merge contemporary design in furniture with traditional methods and materials.  When taking a break from his thesis you can find him dabbling in creating rock posters, t-shirt designs, album art or feeding his craving for eclectic music anyway that presents itself.

Featuring limited edition tea-dyed Julie Hill & Ryan Young  X The ShadowPlastic Label tees.

My friends have way too much time on their hands. My Philly heads klip collective just did this pro-holiday video in their spare time. The amazing thing about this is that it’s all done with one projector on a bunch of gift boxes and a tree. If you want to find out how they did it, you might have to steal your soul to a geeky devil. He might try to throw in his collection of Cabbage Patch Kids and a fire lakefront timeshare but don’t give in to him. That’s just too evil.

The song is Walter Murphy & The Big Apple Band - A Fifth of Beethoven (Soulwax Remix). The Santa is probably drunk.

P.S. Congrats to Ric and Michelle on their new baby girl. Merry Christmas indeed.

“The Buddha Dharma is nowhere remote. It is close to us, in our hearts. Suchness is nowhere external. If not within our bodies, where can it be found?”
- Secret Key to the Heart Sutra by Kukai, Founder of Japanese Shingon Buddhism

Meet shapeshifter LOTUSHEART and become part of her journey to discover the Hidden Flower guarded carefully by the Challenger. On her magical journey, she encounters new, as well as old friends such as HARAKITI, who help her to visualize the glowing blossom of the Flower.

“This show is the fruit of numerous all-night-till-the-sun-rise painting sessions of the last two months, many of them spent with fellow artists who labored with me, kept me inspired and helped me to sharpen my vision. Taking the Japanese samurai and ninja tradition as a visual reference, I have tried to illustrate a number of spiritual concepts I have been meditating on for years and place them in a dreamlike setting of love and chivalry. I also wanted to make this solo show into an opportunity to honor my friends -my Brooklyn fam- by inviting them to be part of this fantasy heartland of lovers and secret monk-warriors that we created as we were preparing for the show.” Lichiban

Yes, this is correct. Your peoples at The ShadowPlastic Label, YUME, and The Brooklyn Tee Party are having another joint. This time to celebrate the end of EYD’s incredible run at the YUME Gallery.  We got live art from EYD ONE, Tees on sale, drinks (BK Sunset. . . remember that?), and the mighty MIGHTY Adam’s Castle tearing the place down once again and it is ON like a condom in Thai massage parlor (thanks for that last line KAGE).

It’s going down: Tuesday October 21st at the Tea Lounge, 7 p.m. till 11ish. There is also going to be a live broadcast from WLIU Radio and a salute to the one year YUME anniversary. Basically there is a lot going on.

Tea Lounge, 837 Union St. b/w 6th & 7th Aves. Subway : Q to 7th Ave, 2/3 to Grand Army Plaza or M/R to Union St.

Be there and don’t get made fun of.

Adam’s Castle is at it again and they are guaranteed to rock your nunchucking face off!!! Joining them will be Me You Us Them. If you missed them at The BK PRE Party, here’s your chance to be in on the freshness that is Adam’s Castle. Williamsburg BEWARE!

Trash Bar 256 Grand St. between Driggs & Roebling Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY 11211

Feed the shark.

Finally got around to posting the pictures from EYD ONE’s gallery opening presented by The Brooklyn Tee Party. We had a blast and shouts go out to all of those that came through, showed love and shared props. And just so you know, EYD is about to seriously take over the streets. Be on the lookout for that lil Japanese so and so.
