The Whole Show

The Spectacularcade show opening last night was a grand old time and for once I remembered to actually take some photos documenting the event! I think you'll agree that Ryan's Kenny balloons added just the right burst of pizazz. (And I don't bust out the "p" word unless I think a situation is highly deserving.)

 And here are the rest of the pieces from the show (click on the image for a larger view):

Kill Screen

Slothzar

Frorg Invasion  (That's right, Frorg.)

 

Feats of Strength I

Feats of Strength II: Lunch Break

Photobooth

Impossible

You Can Do It

(Those are sold separately but I think they'd be perfect to hang next to each other - that way you'd always have the proper mantra ready to affirm your daily optimism level.)

 Rolling Thunder - A painted skee-ball in a mirrored trophy case, complete with "Kennywood" skee-ball tickets! 

The whole show is available at the Grass Hut website right over here.

Thanks to Bwana Spoons and the Grass Hut and everyone who came out and enjoyed a complimentary Chinese finger trap! We hope you all successfully unlocked your index fingers before the end of the night. 

Redemption

Hello! Just stopping to give you another sneak peek from "Spectacularcade" (opening tomorrow at the Grass Hut in case you missed the post below).

This one is called "Redemption":

I must say, I'm quite partial to this piece. I love the dual purpose of the name and I happen to love drawings that let me look around inside the scene for a while. (A holdover from the early influence of Richard Scarry, I'm sure.) Ryan is really knocking these out of the theme park and I'm so proud of him! 

Okay, we're off to hang the show and possibily stop at the party supply store to get some goodies for the opening. 

Spectacularcade opens on Thursday night!

We're busy behind the scenes this week putting together the final pieces for Ryan's solo show opening Thursday at the Grass Hut in Portland. The show will feature an assortment of carnival arcade characters including Kenny, Slothzar, and, of course, a quick cameo from Willie Nelson. If you are in town, come on down Thursday night to say hi. If you're not in town, the show will be be available soon on an internet near you.

Geographical tip: The Grass Hut is located at 20 NW 5th Ave inside Floating World Comics.
