White Center 3rd Saturday Art Walk
April 16th, 2011 6 PM to 9 PM

Big Al Brewing (9832 14th Avenue SW): Carlos Aguilar- Paint and Ink-
www.carlosgaguilar.com-Animated, vibrant & twisted paintings that will
make you double-take, every time. Come have a pint of Local Hero #9,
play some Wii and absorb a room full of enthusiastic awesome!

Dubsea (9910 8th Ave SW): Martijn Caspar Swart- New Varied Paintings http://martijncswart.blogspot.com/- Same artist, more mind blowing.
Martin will be rotating new work into Dubsea this month. If you missed
last month, stop punishing yourself and go experience his gift. His
vibrant colors are married seamlessly in a perfect mixture of
abstraction and realism. Guaranteed to drive you to drink more
delicious Dubsea coffee so your eyelids keep from wavering during the
onslaught of creativity. I purchased a piece from his last show and
have absolutely NO buyers remorse! Can't wait to see it in my house!

Salvadorean Bakery (1719 SW Roxbury): Andrew Miller-
MantisArt-Photography. http://mantisart.wordpress.com/ Andrew Miller
will blow your righteous eye with his hand painted original
photographs. His application of oil on B&W photographs creates a
dreamscape of color with biting realism for the hints of pure photo
that push through. If you're lucky, he'll sweeten the deal with a
couple of illustrative line drawings. 'Vibration' may be the only
go-to word. Don't forget the Salvadorean Quesadilla to fill your tummy
once your artistic desires have been satiated.

Café Rozella (9434 Delridge Way SW): Erik Hoogan- Timeless Portraits.
Spot on portraiture of faces we all know and love. Bold, bright and
hard to miss- these are worth a stop in and some coffee. They will be
sharing wall space with landscape photographer and painter, Renee
Bazino who will be showing through May. Just enough time to lounge in
the café and slurp down some liquid gold.

Dzul Tattoo (9622-B 16th Ave SW): Katie & Alex- Black & White
Photography. Drop in for funky grooves and an eye-full of new body
ink. Updated B&W photos of the newest generation of ink, dripping with
permanence. This shop has spirit and enough eye-candy to chew on for
days.

Company (9608 16th SW): Toshi-?? All we know is that the last batch of
artists were awesome. We're guessing that Toshi won't disappoint. Drop
in, have the beet salad and find out the last name of the artist or
just look at the pretty(?) pictures.

3.14 (9602 16th Ave SW): Rob Johnson- Photography. A Black and White
series of landscape photography will be up for ogling. Stop by, grab
something on a stick and walk the walls of 3.14.

Full Tilt Ice Cream (9629 16th Ave SW): Megan Thorberg- Prints. Bold
lined B&W prints with an interesting twist. Dark & Peppy anyone?
Perhaps a scoop of Mexican Chocolate ice cream and a pint of Big Al'
Hop Villain while you inhale the chaos and creativeness?

Proletariat Pizza - (9622-A 16th Ave SW)-Ryann Morris- Painting,
Photography & Ceramics-Drop by for a Ham & Egg and see what Rybuy has
for you this month. An eclectic mix of craft- meets-form, she finds
art in the little things and makes little things into art.

ALSO! Please Welcome the Southgate Roller Rink to White Center!! (9646
17th Ave SW). They will soon be rolling into our growing artwalk
family with rotating shows and a possibility for projected visual
scrumptiousness! Stay tuned to see how they keep us groovy...
