Premiere / Cali Screenings!

A big thank you to all who came out to the sold out shows in San Francisco and Sacramento this past week! We had an awesome time. Also, thank you to the fine folks at TRPS again for hosting the SF premiere, and to our dear friend Paul Imagine for his help with Sacramento screening.

We'd also like to thank Dennis King, Dennis Loren, Justin Hampton, Chris Shaw, Chuck Sperry, Ron Donovan, John Seabury, Scrojo, Winston Smith, and Paul Imagine for doing Q&A with us after the show - You guys rocked!

Firehouse is on fire...

Silkscreen masters Chuck Sperry and Ron Donovan of Firehouse, recently did a show at Ogilvy in San Francisco on June 4th, where they also screened a special "American Artifact" pre-release clip.

This was a rare opportunity to visit ad agency Ogilvy's art gallery (usually only available to employees and clients), and to check out Ron and Chuck in action. Reportedly, a rockin' good time was had by all...!

Ogilvy visited Chuck and Ron at their studio before the show - Check out their pictures: http://dev.ogilvywest.net/nextshow/behind-the-squeegee-at-firehouse/

Firehouse will also be hand silk screening John Van Hamersveld's official poster for the TRPS "Rock Art By The Bay" poster this week, the event at which "American Artifact" will be world premiering at next week:
