This past week I unplugged from the internet, turned off the cell phone and enjoyed some extremely nice weather on the Washington coast. But now I’m back refreshed and ready to go check out the new work by Deuce 7 titled “Pneumonia, Isolation, and Disorder”. Deuce 7 is a graffiti artist from Minneapolis who is also part of a burgeoning underground subculture of freight train hoppers. The artist reception is at BLVD Gallery July 11 6-10pm.

King Cobra presents Luckluster, a cool new monthly art event with live painting, live music and a skate demo. The artists include: PGEE, EGO, Brennan Coyle & Parskid. DJ Sean Cee will be spinning so dig in the couch for $3 in change and head on down at 8pm.

SATURDAY, July 5th is the unveiling of Blaine Fontana’s VANS mural project at Sno•Con. His 20′ x 4′ mural explores the sensations of living for a year back in the northwest. Blaine will be there with stacks of giclee prints of the mural for you to take home.

Maybe it’s the Portland weather that helped inspire Kendra to paint these ghostly characters seen through pastel dripping washes. You can see more at her site and at the “Oceanic: nautical adventures and underwater realms” show at Suite 100 Gallery in Seattle on July 11th.

Georgetown’s Artopia is probably the only event were you can listen to Gypsy music, check out Skateboarding art and see power tool races all in the same day. The event starts on Saturday June 28th, from Noon to 10pm. This Wednesday’s Seattle Weekly will feature a pull out Artopia event schedule.
