Painting with Prints [Video]

Four AntiDesigns team members, Jay LaCouture, Keith Zoo, Josh Falk, and Mikey Maker, got together to collaborate on a one of a kind screen print collage for an upcoming collective group show. Using 15-25 different pre-existing screens, the group painted 3 pieces of found-cardboard using somewhere around 100 passes of the squeegee. The resulting piece is now showing at the Lincoln Arts Project gallery in Waltham, MA until October 28, 2011, as part of the Boston Art Collective show, curated by Fish McGill.

Robot GUTS 3: Fish McGill & Friends

What's inside a giant robot? Let's find out and learn a thing or two or three. You are invited to join Boston Artist Fish McGill in the installation & creation of two 12-foot tall Robot drawings Monday-Thursday in the 301 Gallery. Come help work on a giant drawing of a Robot's GUTS and gears on the gallery walls throughout the week. Answer the ongoing question, "What is inside a Robot anyway?" The collaborative drawing project will shine light on this subject. Computers, cell phones, wiener dogs, rocket parts, you name it and it is in there.

The kickoff is on Friday February 4, 2010 from 6-9PM in the 301 Gallery. We will install the two 12 foot Robots in the space. Be ready to climb ladders and drill panels as we hang the colorful robot parts and prepare for a week’s worth of work. The 301 gallery will be open all week February 7-10 during the day and in the evenings. Come draw with us or hang out with some Robots. Lessons on creating stencils and how to make wheat paste will be demonstrated on Wednesday & Thursday afternoons. Special guest artists from the Boston area will be stopping by in the evenings to draw with everybody who participates throughout the week.

At the fancy pants closing reception on February 10 from 6-9PM please arrive dressed to impress for some milk and cookies as the Robot’s panels will be raffled off for free to all the guests at the Robot GUTS closing reception in the 301 Gallery.

Anti x UGHH x Deniol Alva = Los Reyes Del Hip Hop

Mexico City's Deniol Alva releases his newest collection of tees, Los Reyes Del Hip Hop, a collaboration with Boston's Anti Designs & UGHH.com. Fresh off his capsule collection with Upper Playground, Deniol keeps the momentum with 3 takes on some of Hip Hop's greatest - Big Daddy Kane, KRS One & Afrika Bambaataa. Influenced by colorful Mexico City, Deniol describes his home city as..."a good mash-up of fresh breakbeats with the nastiest old-school cumbia. We are enjoying our surreal, noisy, flashy streets, and we´re spicing up our creativity with that folklore." Deniol captures this same mix in Los Reyes Del Hip Hop collection by putting a twist on the names of these classic artists and visualizing them in a colorful, original Mexican style. Deniol saw these as a perfect collection under the UGHH brand and alongside Anti Designs, we're proud to announce the release of the collection.

Boston based company, Anti Designs, began in the summer of 2004 off some loose change, hard work and the desire to vent creativity. Co-founder, Jay, has been day-dreaming of having his characters on t-shirts since he was in elementary school and in 2000 he moved from the heart burbs to the Bean for college. It was here that he first met Slash and his cronies, and from there the madness began. Anti Designs continues to collaborate with many artists under their moniker and are devoted to getting fresh, original designs on quality, affordable gear. As D.I.Y. as it gets, Jay has worked many years to refine the skill of silk screening...deep into every shirt is the blood sweat and tears of Anti.

These shirts are now available for pre-order, starting today, at UGHH.com. Click the link and get fresh.
