i just found out that my art is on display there?

i didn't even know.

kind of creepy. but cool i guess.

everyone go. the stuff there is amazing! they have a whole bunch of work up right now from Re: Design (an art show last saturday) that makes my stuff look like dog shit. it's the craziest stuff you'll ever see. trust.

dont they have to pay you to display your art?

sidekick · #3 (**permalink**) May 22, 04

maybe they think you're dead sammy.

they could sell your art for so much more!

Sammy Skillz · #4 (**permalink**) May 22, 04

hahaha no they don't have to pay me.

i wouldn't have any objections if they WANTED to pay me though :)

having my stuff displayed and getting my name out there is payment enough right now, though.

apparently what happened was some of the work from Re: Design was picked up for a second show or something at a new venue? i'm not sure exactly what it is to be honest but supposedly the stuff there is hype. i don't even know what The Basement is? is it a restaurant or something??

Basement is a funky little clothing store on Pacific, just off Davie.

Sammy Skillz · #9 (**permalink**) May 23, 04

for real?

what kind of clothes??

glitter · #10 (**permalink**) May 23, 04

They carry "vintage" and new. Really different stuff that you won't see in other stores. Kinda reminds me of clothing stores from Montreal. I can't think of any brand names at the moment.

Sammy Skillz · #11 (**permalink**) May 23, 04

so it's kind of like a one-of-a-kind boutique sort of thing?

that's hype. i'm gonna have to check it out this weekend.
