Werc // “Spirit Man”
Introducing artist Werc’s “Spirit Man,” a new limited edition Giclee fine art print. The series is an edition of twenty 22″ x 22″ signed & numbered giclee prints on cotton rag paper.
The piece “Spirit Man,” is a portrait that speaks of discovery, knowledge, rituals and symbolism. All the American Spirit cigarette packages that make up the background of the painting were all smoked by the artist. Each package has been carefully stripped from the word “American” and left only with the word “Spririt” from the title.The artist sees the manipulative charge of these two talismanic words that trigger certain spiritual aspects of being within people. In an act of commercial intervension, Werc takes back the word “spirit,” which has been prostituted in consumerism, in order to empower himself and the viewer.
“Werc is at the forefront of the new generation of Chicano painters. ”Spirit Man” displays great technique and mysterious meaning and leaves it open as to what that meaning is, the hallmark of great art. He is one to watch.” – Cheech Marin
Werc’s work comes from two places, border culture because he was born in Ciudad Juarez, and grew up in El Paso, TX; and graffiti, his urban teacher, because the streets were his training ground as an artist. Werc’s passion for graffiti allowed for new inspirations to transform his artistic career. Werc paints, collages and designs based on inspirtations that come from broad issues of labor, border culture, logos, symbols, architecture, urbanization and the nostalgic humor among immigrant cultures. He is specifically inspired by the creative informal economies of street vendors, the archetypal language of design, and the beauty of developing sustainability in communities. This enables Werc to create collective public art projects with intentions of dissolving all borders and deceptive forms of seperation.
In his paintings, he explores aspects of duality and the politics of identity by hunting and gathering found objects that later become part of his creations. In his public art walls, Werc plays with the preconceived notion of advertisement and the idea of always being sold something. In his street art, he transforms experiences of mass consumption, with the beautification of public spaces. In all of Werc’s work, there is a response to negative customs and a re-affirmation of consciousness that create artworks that reflects social change.

Bulletproof Tiger “Healthy Fear” limited edition 7″ release and free Download.
Bulletproof Tiger have announced their anticipated debut release, two singles of their unreleased full-length album which is due later this year. The two singles, “Healthy Fear” and “Shout In The Dark,” will be released on vinyl. A limited edition pressing of 250 hand numbered 7″ records under Ltl Monster.

Bulletproof Tiger is an instrumental live-electronic group from El Paso, TX. The plastic-tiger-mask-wearing duo is comprised of the aliased Bobby Miracles (guitar) and Jean-Luc Duvalier (keyboard/synth) who, after meeting in the summer of 2009, began playing together after discovering their passion for both dance/electronic music and hip-hop. Heavily influenced by such groups as Daft Punk, the Twelves and Gorillaz, the intensity and aggressive nature of Bulletproof Tiger’s “dance-bangers” are only complimented by the symbolism behind their tiger masks – which are never removed in public. The tiger masks help to represent the animalistic nature of their music.

Legendary Automotive Designer and Artist Camilo Pardo Releases Special Valentines Day Limited Edition Art Print.

Camilo is back for his second release on 1xRUN with an evolution of his Targets silkscreen series with Open Targets. This new Camilo collection features a well-delineated beauty (shades of Emma Peel) in the foreground and a kaleidoscope of varied designs in the background. That’s right – each print is unique unto itself with each one boasting a different background motif painted by Camilo. One of Camilo’s signature racing girls screen printed over the top of each uniquely painted backgrounds.
WHAT: “Open Targets” – 60 limited edition art prints, 19 x 26 inches on archival cotton paper
WHERE: www.1xRUN.com Online sale, available for 7 days only
WHEN: Starts – Monday, February 14, 2010 – 12:00 pm (EST)
Ends – Monday, February 21, 2010
COST: $80.00 Each
BIO: The art that Camilo Pardo created over the years is all over Detroit. Indeed, a considerable amount of it is present on our freeways at any given moment of the day. The one-time head of Ford Motor Company’s Living Legends unit and designer of the Ford GT, Pardo put verve in the steel curves and reminded us that a car’s first internal combustion takes place in an artist’s mind. It’s external beauty is born there as well. That mind has not ceased from creative labors, even if they’re no longer entirely devoted to Motor City mojo.
Camilo’s paintings and drawings bespeak both his love for linear perfection and his fascination for the manner in which those “lines” deliver aesthetic satisfaction to the viewer. His works genuinely seem to move – and they are energized by what is obviously a rich understanding and respect for popular culture and traditional disciplines. In less talented hands, such a seeming contradiction of forces would negate the best efforts. Pardo makes them reconcile, complement each other, and dance together.

Big Tone + “Flesh and Sole” (EP)
Detroit rapper and producer Big Tone has just released his latest project, “Flesh and Sole” EP.
This is…”Just something for those who have been rocking with me since day one. I realized I want to make more of a commitment to my listeners, so I locked myself in the lab and cooked up this little EP. I’m in a good space right now, and just wanted to share. This project marks a moment in life in which I’m growing comfortable in my own skin (hence, the word “flesh”), and am standing firm on my own two ( hence, the word “sole”). Thus, I’m presenting The Flesh and Sole EP.
Thank you.” – Big Tone
