My first group show since I moved here last spring was Friday at Gitana Rosa Gallery, 19 Hope Street in Brooklyn. It was a live exhibition featuring street artists creating eco-social/political/urban art. Some of these artists in the show are people whose work I’ve followed since moving here like Cern and Ellis G. It was amazing getting to meet them, work with them, etc.
The artists in the show were *sic*, Cern, Ellis G., Ben Angotti, Leif McIlwaine, Katherine Novick, Narendra Haynes, Tom Billings, Robin Cleveland, Zahra Tangorra and me. Zahra and I have plans to collaborate on some paintings soon, as well.
Here are a couple pics, before, during and after the show.
Me, working on my mural.

opening day.
Ellis G’s contribution to the street out front of the gallery. He had lots more amazing shadow drawings inside too.
the after party…Williamsburg represent…
Love that first pic.
Thanks to post-apocalyptic movies and Burning Man, I immediately associate breathing masks with badassness.
Hah, yeah that’s what I was saying too…”I feel like such a badass with this mask on.” Badass was the word of the day.

Hi Drexel, i dont think we’ve met, but an old friend of mine is on your site and i’m dying to get in touch with him. of course, his cell # changes like the wind, so i’ve lost it. i always manage to find him in the haystack that is NY, so this is my shot. Let me know if he’s at the same basement studio in that big building in Brooklyn. it looks a lot like the pic on this page actually. but it’s been a few years, so it wouldnt surprise me if he’s elsewhere by now. but i’m having a little dub style gathering in the city and was hoping he could make it. you too, for that matter. please let me know if you have any leads on where he’s hanging his hat so i can surprise him as always. Scotty Mac (c# 619-665-6638). Muchas Gras.
ok scott, done! hope you two get to chill after all this time. 🙂 cheers, dreX
