FAME festival 09 is over. the artists left, the exhibition is closed. we can all chill.

i was waiting to write the last post of this year ’cause i did not know what picture to attach. and here it is,

just outside the studio, some bits of rain and this huge rainbow.

if everything goes in the right way, we’ll be in touch soon. stay tuned on studiocromie.org for our upcoming releases (sam3 book “sombras” is coming out tomorrow!)

and stay punk

hands down: here it comes the masterpiece

BLU and David Ellis have been working like crazy on this animation for a full week against moskitos, rain, bored assistants.

COMBO a collaborative animation by Blu and David Ellis (2 times loop) from blu on Vimeo.

it was a lot of work and fun, as usual.
please, clap your hands

let me spend two words about this guy..

Congorock is my old time friend Rocco.
he’s definitely the most talented musician on hearth. whatever he does with music he does magic. people go crazy and the atmosphere is great. he came all the way down here (he was born here but he is based in milan now) to play for us and turn a quite show opening into a crazy wild party.

he is the reason why we literally destroyed the studio and i almost broke my ribs.
i deliberately choosed to put up these quite moderate pictures, thanks mark.

check this out!

DEM is one of the coolest characters from FAME09 he’s nice and polite and when it’s time to have fun he’s always up, ready to rock. his weird funny animals and little colored people also appeared on a couple of canvases at the show. get in touch if you’d like to see them, this guy really deserve the best.

thanks a lot to our friend Giacomo who took these really nice pictures and with the help of other nice people went as far as moving this thrash thing to shoot the whole piece.

make sure to check his flickr here, there is a great set of high res pictures of the walls and pieces at the show

these will all be available at the opening, saturday 19th

we’re not so sure about these frames but how cool are these drawings?!?
they’re pretty big as well 56×76 cm!

all right, good news…

by now…

all the time i complain about how everytime i try to do something, big obstacle shows up while i’m doing it and makes it impossible. then everybody tell me it’s normal, it’s how life works. so i pretend to understand it and tease myself to feel relieved…

that’s what i did today, i woke up smiling and got ready, today was the day to bring everything at the gallery, also big pieces that would not fit in the van.
and here it is:

first storm of the year. after a supersunny summer.
mhhhhhhhhhh

finger crossed for saturday

just one week before the opening, i wanted to show you these SAM3 jewels.

these will be at the show as well as many other original pieces from all the artists involved.
hope i dont sound too boring but you should really come here and check the show out!

talk soon
