CHIPS, SALSA, & MORE...

Thanks to all those who came out last Friday night to check out the photographs of Robb Perry.  We had a great turn out, probably the best of all of our events. Special thanks to everyone who purchased any photos or goods. Special NO THANKS goes to the individual or individuals that phoned in a noise complaint to our property management company. We understand that we may have been a little noisy past quiet hours, but who the hell goes to bed at 10pm on Friday anyways? Welp anyways we're not bitter, we're just motivated to throw even better art shows. Remember if you didn't get the chance to come down to the opening reception, Robb's photos will be up through March. Come down to Hasbeen Design Company (521 ne Couch St. Portland, Oregon 97232) and buy some reasonably priced quality art.

Here's another flier I just made for next week's show. Yeah I realize it's Friday night and I'm blogging, but look on the bright side, exactly one week from this moment, I will be enjoying my favorite adult beverage and enjoying the beautiful photography of Robb Perry. Don't sleep on this one folks. We Hope to see all of you kids down at the show, preferably in your Sunday's best with your cash and checkbooks ready to go. Let's stimulate this muthafuckin economy.

minor facelift

we did a little cosmetic surgery over the weekend, and put a sweet new door on the shop. Imagine the world of treasures that lay beyond the threshold of the doorway.

WINTER COMES IN WITH GUSTO

So these photos are a few weeks old, when the Portland area got bitch slapped by Mother Nature's icy palm. Basically the snow was very charming at first, and slowly overstayed it's welcome and became a transit nightmare. Of course this meant that the city of Portland would completely shut down, cockblocking all businesses big and small. These pictures are from when it was charming and pretty, shortly before it became icy and treacherous. 

completely snowed in.
the show must go on.
I tried to snowboard
down couch street.
It was very slow and boring, 
but I still could
and that's all that matters.

Kara Burke's opening reception

Last friday we had a little get together, to celebrate the artwork of Kara Burke. Her charming illustrations brighten the hearts of all who see them. The turn out was great, and everybody had their fair share of wine and art.
