May 9th is shaping up to be a night of extreme art overload here in Denver… though there is a bit of a silver lining… all the shows are all in the same general vicinity nestled in a quiet but vibrant little neighborhood off of the East Colfax strip otherwise known as the “Super Block”.
Basic Run Down:
Oxymoron by: Andrew Hoffman @ The Shoppe ● Fight or Flight by: Adam Reker @ Plastic Chapel ● ARTCRANK group show @ The Fabric Lab ● Seinfeld Sessions by: Keith Jive @ Newspeak ● Cephalic Combustion by: Nathan Reker @ Neopolitan

This was Denver’s first year hosting ARTCRANK and we came out strong! HUGE turnout, bikes everywhere, fashion show, crazy-ass marching band and over 40 posters from some of Colorado’s freshest artists. We made the trek from Boulder via bus / bike (bus to Wadsworth, bike from there), riding with Collin (Quickleft), Dan (Retail Sprout/Hi! Local), and Big Grant (Sid Factor Seven).
You can check out all of our photos over on our Flickr, but here are a select few. Big ups to the Wills Fam for hosting the whole shebang, to Charles (who started ARTCRANK back in MN 4 years ago) and Rob & Celeste who made the long trip back for the show. We miss you guys already.
Until next year.
Scot Lefavor's awesome & massive hand painted paste up (morning of Artcrank)
Crowd-swell inside Neopolitan
Dea & Dave's Plastic Chapel was packed all night!!! Toys and bikes - so amazing.
The Fabric Lab was slammed all night as Tran handled poster purchases.
Dea & Dave's Schwinn Crates
Not really much room to move - at all.
The BLOCK in full effect. Denver knows how to party - arty.
And some of our favs… Alex had to fight the crowd to get pics so we couldn’t get ‘em all.

Indyink a little torn up... Of the roughly 50 artists on board for ARTCRANK Denver 2009 Indyink handled the printing of 24 poster designs comprised of over 50 individual color screens in just 10 days and all after hours - all as near to perfection as one can get with hand pulled screen printing. Fuck Yeah.

ARTCRANK Minneapolis 2009 looked super rad. The Tran/Josh x Celeste/Lifter twatter left us a bit jealous. But, we’ve got a feelin’ the Colorado posse’s gonna hold shit down too. On that note – we just wrapped our posters with our man Ray at Good Thoughts on the press – and damn… tasty work, Ray. Here’s a preview of PROPER TRANSPORTATION by cypher13 starring Mike Moore, Miria Moore, Maya Moore, and Maya Moore’s dolly. Saturday the 11th is gonna be poppin’!!! We’re just happy to have been invited to play. Thanks ARTCRANK.

We’re wrapping up the final design for our ARTCRANK posters – hopefully they’ll be off to the printers soon. We did a little post last week regarding local architect / close friend, Mike Moore and his ‘Proper Transportation.’ Just to reiterate, Mike rides his two little girls (Miria and Maya) to school (5mi each way) everyday on the rig you see below. Yea. Think about that next time you hop in your car.
For our poster we aimed to create a modern classic (Mike Moore embodies the “modern classic”), reminiscent of the historical bicycle advertisements of past that often carried a current cultural message. We feel like we accomplished our goals. All six colorways will be screen-printed using water based inks on recycled paper and will be displayed on April 11th at ARTCRANK – of course.
