Crewest Presents:

CANceptual [v.3]
"Recycle your spray cans...make some art...save the Earth"

Exhibit Dates: May 2nd thru May 31st
Opening Reception: May 2nd from 6pm to 9pm

Crewest saves the Earth one spray can at a time. For the past 7 years, Crewest has been at the forefront of recognizing graffiti art as a unique and valid art form with aerosol cans as one of it’s primary mediums. In support of the many artists who have chosen to use their talents for something positive, Crewest celebrates their 7th Year Anniversary and brings you the third installment of CANceptual. An art exhibition giving young artists an opportunity to showcase their work alongside known artists. Crewest encourages artists to find those old rusted cans and recycle them by turning them into fine art pieces for sale at the gallery.
As gallery director Man One puts it, “Where the weapon of choice becomes the instrument of beauty”

THE BIG BLOG BY TRAVI$-Three Friends Who Loved Track

I just finished with the Texas Relays Painting, just in time for my Pop to take it down and show all his friends at the meet. I really had a blast completing this guy and getting it out to my Dad. I know that everyone enjoyed seeing it, and I just wanted to get the guys right for my Pop... They were all three friends that worked together at the relays for years. My Dad, Dr. Douglas Moore is on the left, His pal Rooster Andrews is in the middle, and on the end his other buddy, Tex Kassen. The piece is entitled Three Friends Who Love Track.

Thanks Pop for showing it to all the folks down at the relays, and thanks for being so supportive of my ART... Thanks to both my parents and my little Sister for all the help they have given me the past months, while I have been growing this business. I love you all.

PEACE,

TRAVIS

The Big Blog By Travi$- New Project- A Painting for Joey PART 2

JOEY GETS HIS PAINTING!!!!


Just wanted to give you guys and update on the painting I did for Joey. I finally got it together and took it up to give it to him at his "office", The Rainbow Bar & Grill. So luckily Mike was there and he took our picture together.. Then I took their picture, anyway... We had a slice of pizza, and I thanked him again for signing a headshot for my folks... They gave it to a kiddo that plays the drums at the local high school. They thought it might inspire him, and Joey obliged... Great buddy. I hope he likes the painting... I think he did. I enjoyed doing it for him.

Joey with the painting, nice close-up by Mike.
