Congrats to our Featured Artists

We here at Abztract take pride when original art of our Featured Artists sells.  It means that we have done something right and helped bring affordable and fresh art by our artists to the homes of happy fans.

So, we want to congratulate Temple7e, Philip Lumbang and Shai Dahan for having their original skateboards sold this week.  Temple7e's Ganesh skateboard has been a big hit at our Gawker Artists exhibit.  Philip's HUG LIFE bear has been getting a lot of attention. From Unurth.com to many other sites that have been following Phil's amazing talent gain exposure faster than we could ever wish for him.   Finally, Shai's skateboards continue to spread across the world.  With skateboards sold to customers all across the U.S. and even as far as Sweden and UK, it is no surprise that his talent at painting skateboards is still growing in popularity.

So Congrats to all three of our featured artists this week and to all the other fantastic artists Abztract currently has featured in our shop.  We will be adding more stuff from Temple, Philip and Shai and continue to add new artists and give people some great affordable art to hang in their crib.

Gawker ALT/ART Show 2009

Lastnight, Abztract had the pleasure to be part of the Gawker Artists ALT/ART show. Gawker Artists is a curated online art community promoting the works of artists of all media. The ALT/ART show which featured Abztract Featured Artists Temple7e, Billi Kid, Jordan Seiler and Shai Dahan, was an event show of works made by Gawker Artists employing unconventional methods, media, and materials.

The event was great and even Billi Kid, Jordan Seiler and Shai Dahan dropped by to chat about their art.
While there, we had time to chat with Liz Dimmitt, curator of the Gawker Artists website and exhibition. We also had a chance to speak with James and Karla Murray, who have been documenting the streets of New York and Miami, publishing three best-selling books on the graffiti scene. We met some great people from the Gawker staff, friends, art fans and some of the other artists involved in the ALT/ART show, including Justin Emerson who paints lunch bags with some rad characters (see some of his work in the photos below).

So enjoy this collection of photos taken at the event and remember to stay Abztract.
