Capitol City Market 08/19/10






What a B E A Utiful day it was on East State Street this past Thursday.















We decided to match the clear blue skys with a a subtle blue pendulum painting - a big thanks to Benjamin for helping apply the base coat :)















The sign is up and pendulum a-swingin...

















Also gotta thank Andrew and his mother for stopping by to help pour some paint. Excellent dexterity!













Completed painting to be hung sometime soon... keep your eyes open for the next installation!

The Struggle







Well, after the Capitol City Market, the Jeep took a turn into a wall...
















Andrew, Kelly, and Mom stopped by to pic up a camera they left at our table.















Pete's been working steadfastly on the Small World Coffee table. It features a full metal frame and will have a woven steel wire backpack rack underneath...



















Careful inspection and attention to quality is key here at Modern Metal Work, LLC - Pete's metal fabrication company.









We finished off the night at Trenton's Cafe International for some great live music and fresh cooked soul food.

Thanks to Kelly Carvin for organizing everything, and to the artists for sharing their voices and messages with everyone!

Boxes out...box people out...hit the news...more art attacks...



So time to catch up...

The boxes that had plagued the shop for the past half year are finally out...this includes the physical boxes as well as the metaphorical ones. People need to accept change, not run away. It is in times of crisis that the dedicated ones stick around and ride the waves.



Benny continues to harass, threaten, and charge us for moving the boxes. We have an ultimatum to move them back to 220 or else...sorry, they are not coming back into the building, they will be used for art and creating a stage for performances at the Galamo.

Erik was interviewed by WZBN again today for art attacks in Trenton and to catch up on all things Hendrickson? Many thanks to Erin Ade for the interview and conversation; any time Erin :)

Bryan got back from up north...talks with Lafayette's President Weiss went well and we look forward to working on art projects in Easton.

Finished up the night making some tables out of a box, and attacking Trenton again...

SATURDAY SATURDAY, saturday saturday, saturday night's alright






B&E started off Saturday with a Peacekeepers meeting at the LightHouse Church on Bellevue Ave.
The Trenton Peacekeepers meet every Saturday from 11am-noon, and are quickly gaining momentum. Be on the lookout for big things coming from this movement real soon...







Terracycle hosted it's annual "Jersey Fresh Grafitti Jam" on Saturday as well. Many great NJ artists came out to tag up the walls and surfaces of the Terracycle building. Be sure to check out www.terracycle.com or visit one of their stores and get some cool recycle swag.








This is a closeup of some crazy mixed paint that emerged from a painting B&E also performed at the Jersey Fresh event.

The painting will be hung later this week outside of the Terracycle building.














To finish off the night, B&E hung up a commissioned painting at Trenton residence..

Terracycle, Charles Laurita music video shoot, Guerrilla Art Attack Hanover, and Studio 219; oh my!!

Fun filled day at the TA

Started off the day with a wakeup on some couches here...still can't "legally" go upstairs.







Erik went off to open 114 for Charles Laurita, a guitar prodigy of Hamilton, for a shoot of his newest music video "Science Fiction/Double Feature"







Terracycle product development stopped by the shop later with some Benz dubbz for us to work on. Coming up with some promo furnishings for Benz Dealerz...should be interesting.











After gunning in another Guerrilla Art piece on Hanover Street across from Studio 219, we hooked up with Tamara Ramos and Kasso to share some thoughts and headed inside for some wine...










Candice from Destination Trenton, among others, was enjoying the night at the studio, which displayed works by Ramos, Kasso, and other local artists (sorry I don't know you all yet...we will soon :)






Headed to Janice Short's to finish up some work on here piece and will be mounting it tomorrow on her wall...pics and video update tomorrow night!!
