Featured Artists: Display Artist: Morgan Bak www.morganbak.com/paintings Live Artist: Lauren Maxwell www.mlauren.info/ Live Music: Birch Pereira www.birchpereira.com/ Venue: Verity Credit Union / 5711 24th Ave NW Event: September 19th 6pm - 8pm www.facebook.com/events/381122742583362/ Join Verity Credit Union as they welcome the autumn display artist Morgan Bak. They'll be celebrating with live music by Birch Pereira and live art by Lauren Maxwell. There will also be snacks, treats, and activities for kids of all ages! Morgan Bak is an artist originally from Orange, CA who has jumped from California to Colorado and landed in Seattle, WA where she currently resides. She has delved into such mediums as painting, illustration, ceramic sculpture, and embroidery; but the medium is mostly reflective of whatever best express the current idea she's currently exploring. Her favorite things to make art about include connectivity, gender, patterns in facial structures, universal symbols, and philtrums. Lauren Maxwell is a comix maker and illustrator based in Seattle, Washington. Lauren has work in various outlets, including but not limited to digital illustration, drawing, video, apparel, and paintings. They have written and illustrated several self-published mini-comics including Ufime(2018), Rabid Prince(2018)and Dark Planet(2016). Birch Pereira: I've been a freelance gigging upright and electric bassist in Seattle now for over a decade. I'm just as comfortable playing jazz in a hotel lobby to touring with a hip hop artist or a singer songwriter. Although I grew up a classical cellist, after a year in orchestra at the University of Washington I switched over to the jazz department and never looked back.

Venue: Ballyhoo Curiosity Shop / 5445 Ballard Ave NW Event: August 15th 6pm - 8pm Stop in for the works of J Gordon at Ballyhoo Curiosity Shop.  Show: Specswizard & Keef Cross (Dayblack - Atlanta, GA) Venue: Push/Pull / 5484 Shilshole Ave NW Event: August 15th 6pm - 9pm www.facebook.com/events/861096594225677/ Showing thru: September 18th Push/Pull is proud to present the work of local artist Michael Hall (aka Specswizard) and Keef Cross (Georgia). Showing through September 18th. Michael D Hall aka Specswizard has been writing and producing hip hop music since 1979--but comics are his first love. He started creating characters and stories when he was just seven years old and he is still at it today. Specs has become a staple in the Seattle hip hop community, and has started to also show his visual art around town, most notably at Steve Gilbert's Studio. He is currently focusing on character designs and pen and ink work for a new comic called the Gibson Comic Anthology that will be published and distributed throughout Seattle and hopefully beyond this summer. Push/Pull is celebrating the culmination of his long awaited book with a show this August along with another notable comic artist and tattooer Keef Cross. KEEF CROSS When I make art, it's truly an escape. An escape from stereotypes and expectations put on "black art" and it's creators. It seems like most people are comfortable seeing black people portrayed walking to church, playing a jazz horn, braiding hair on the porch and things of that nature. There isn't anything wrong with that, but that's not all we are, and that's not all we do. Similar to black cinema and radio, audiences have gotten used to and even anticipate these redundant one sided offerings of black life. Growing up being influenced by Ralph Bakshi, Vaugn Bode', Wendy Pini, and Robert Crumb to name a few, really shaped my visual aesthetic, and tone of my paintings, but even more so, my approach to creating my comic book, "DayBlack". I found that those underground comics of the 70's always had one foot in sexual raunchiness and drugs, and another foot in social commentary, a combination that fascinated me as a kid. Who knew that in those adult comics I hid from my mother, I would find my individual voice and style. I'm all about pushing progressive images and ideas about my people to the forefront whenever I get the chance. TV, radio, and film won't do it, but I feel like art is the last medium that has been corrupted the least, and with the help of other like minded artists who aren't afraid to challenge these notions of what black art is and can be , we can help change the way the world sees us, and the way we see ourselves, one gallery, screen, and book at a time.
Artist: Jimmy Gersen jgersen.artspan.com/home Venue: Populuxe Brewing / 826 NW 49th St Event: August 15th 6pm - 9pm www.facebook.com/events/473775446741768/ Showing: Month of August Populuxe Brewing is excited to welcome Jimmy Gersen as Augusts featured artist. Jimmy made his home in Seattle, Wa. where he graduated from the University of Washington School of Art. He began displaying his work in small restaurants, and galleries throughout the area. He was mainly working with charcoal and pastels producing painting like drawings. Somewhere along the line he decided to literally, dip his hands into some paint and see what he could do. Soon, painting became his new love. In 2000 he started to perform paintings live, with bands, for private parties, art walks, to name a few. Lucky for us he will be painting live right in the tasting room for Ballard Night Out. This is an event not to be missed! Populuxe offers specials for Ballard Night Out visitors.  Jimmy Gersen Show: "Drawings and Paintings" by Stearns and "Color of Life" by Zola Venue: BallardWorks / 2856 NW Market St Event: August 15th 6pm - 9pm One Night Only! www.facebook.com/events/1103668783167102/ "Drawings and Paintings" (third floor) and "Color of Life" (second floor) EXHIBITS' OPENINGS! Thursday, August 15th, 2019 6 PM – 9 PM BallardWorks is delighted to host the Solo Exhibits of Zola Khan and Christopher Stearns organized by Phil Stoiber. **************************************** ARTIST BIO: Zola Khan (ZolaKhan.com) "Color of Life" Farrukh, known professionally as Zola, is from Karachi, Pakistan. He trained and worked under the prominent Pakistani artist Gulgee and has supported himself as an independent artist for over a decade. Farrukh works in oils and acrylics; painting still lifes, landscapes, an abstract horse series, and other abstract works. His work is rhythmic and lively and utilizes expressive brush and knife work, and occasionally pointillism. He has had two solo exhibitions, one in Pakistan and one in Georgia (the country, not the state). Since receiving asylum status in June 2018, Farrukh has been living in Seattle. **************************************** ARTIST STATEMENT: Christopher Stearns Exhibit "Drawings + Paintings" This collection of works on paper represents my attempts to relate impressions from nature to language and architectural forms. Developed over the past 15 years, these works combine drawing, painting, and collage, with a dedication to a kind of lyricism and playfulness that I find liberating. Making these abstract compositions involves sequences of choices, using color, line, shape, and an intuitive sense of space. As I stretch to discover new visual combinations, the process of allowing the piece to tell me what to do next results in a layered formation of meaning. I am so proud to be part of Seattle’s rich and exciting creative community. *****************************************

Venue: Sacred Rain Healing Center / 1100 NW 50th St Event: June 20th 6pm - 9pm Showing: Through July 15th Acrylic and watercolor paintings by Sari Luna. From the artist's website: “I don’t remember a time in which I wasn’t drawing, painting or making forts by stapling blankets to the couch. My first 11 years were spent living in a Washington forest at the top of Tiger Mountain. I climbed trees, ran around barefoot catching snakes and frogs to admire, and most of my friends lived in the books I constantly devoured. To this day, I feel most at home and at peace with myself in the heart of a Pacific Northwest Forest. Nature, literature and the acts of kindness delivered from strangers all feed the magic of my art. I have an insatiable lust for painting, a curiosity for the unknown and, of course, what would an artist be without their own unique way of seeing the world? I have live painted and taught at over 100 events since 2016, I run my own arts business that focuses on unlocking people's creativity, creating commissions and vending art-centric products."

Venue: Populuxe Brewing / 826 NW 49th St Event: June 20th 6pm - 9pm Showing: Month of June Akira Ohiso is an artist, writer and musician living in Seattle. He received a BA in Studio Art in 2001 and a Masters of Social Work degree in 2004. As both an artist and social worker, he creates work that explores his mixed-race identity, systemic realities and societal change. While past work was representational and documentarian in nature, his latest work utilizes collage and mixed-media techniques to create abstract more subjective interpretations. In Apopalyptic, his use of pop culture iconography sourced from the internet explores the concepts of “exceptionalism” and “impermanence.” Populuxe Brewing offers a dollar off your pint when you visit during Ballard Night Out!
