Pistol River Creative is growing

Super Dylan — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:06:53 +0000

It’s always been my intent to develop Pistol River Creative into a loosely assembled multi-artist vehicle instead of the Dylan Toomey brand. I’m proud to announce PRC has grown with the addition of two fantastic artists. Chris Orr, Jacqueline Smith and I are doing a group show from October through November at Good Neighbor Pizza. The opening on October 2nd will feature a humble party with the three of us on hand to discuss Art and Inspiration. Join us for some great food, cold beer and stick around afterwards for an after party at the Toomey house just down the street.

Pop Art Series – now available in Prints

Super Dylan — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 18:27:08 +0000

The pop art series’ always seem to generate a lot of interest, but the pieces themselves are priced out of most peoples price ranges. Now, in an effort to generate a bit of cash flow and get my art into more peoples lives, I’m offering limited edition prints. Currently I have Bob Dylan, Slash, Steven Tyler and Bob Marley available in print form. While previews of the first three are seen below, the Bob Marley original is awaiting an unveiling party and previews will not be available until Mid-September.

Prices are as follows:

12″ x 12″ ……………. $20

24″ x 24″ …………… $50

36″ x 36″ (full size)… $100

All prints signed and numbered, purchase a set of 3 and receive the fourth for free! Shipping and Framing not included, all sales final.

Vita Cafe – Art show on Alberta

Super Dylan — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:37:47 +0000

I just recently hung a diverse show with Pop, Abstract and Graffiti work at Vita Cafe on Alberta. Pretty nice little cafe that serves mostly vegan and vegetarian food and works hard to serve organic and local ingredients. This show will hang all month.

Alberta Art Hop Live Graffiti Paint

Super Dylan — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:29:48 +0000

This post represents how busy I have been lately. This live paint exhibit took place in May, the piece was hung over on Killingsworth and 30th for the month of June and only now is it making it to the Blog. I collaborated with Art Not Crime‘s DeAngelo Raines – proud new father and coordinator of the live paint exhibition on Alberta. I painted the STEEZ lettering, and he did his trademark Ghetto Blaster. I forget the other artists names on the second piece, but I sure do like it!

Coffee Table Graffiti

Super Dylan — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 16:22:12 +0000

I got hooked up with Solidcore‘s Bill Fritz when his lovely lady purchased Whiskey Haze out of Branch Whiskey Bar. We then discussed the idea of laser etching a graffiti design into a limited edition coffee table set. Here is my first crack at the design and a concept of a final project.

New Graffiti – Cuz Matty got that Steez

Super Dylan — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:13:15 +0000

Here is a new Graffiti on Canvas piece for my friend Matty. He just moved back to Portland and had to outfit the new digs with some custom graffiti so I hooked him up with a helping of the Steez.

Mural Mural on the Wall…

Super Dylan — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:59:16 +0000

About 7 months ago I found myself in the same position I find myself in these days. I have a stock of great spray paint, and want to put it to the best use possible. Last August I posted ‘nearly free mural‘ contest via Twitter. Well, the contest is coming back around for a 2nd time.

YOU: If you would like to enter, you have a wall that you’d love to have painted up graffiti style. Likely you don’t have the cheese to hire the big guns but your desire remains in hopes that some day… oh some day will come. Entering is easy, holla at me. Twitter, Email, Blog Comment – anything. I’ll admit, only 1 person entered last time – and she got her condo wall painted. If more people enter this time, I’ll paint multiple walls or pick the best most visible prospect.

RULES: Wall should be located in or near Portland. I get to paint what I want, and you owe me a 12 pack of some good beer. Or a bottle of whiskey.

Here are some of the most recent graffiti pieces I did, thanks for reading and please share with your friends.

Bombs Away Cafe pt. 2

This is the second show for this awesome little funky taqueria (first show) in Corvallis. 3 new pieces in the mix, graffiti and abstract. I think it looks good.
