Via its owner, Joe Shea, one of my photography-on-wood pieces, made its way to Nakameguro, Tokyo recently as part of a group art show/auction titled, From Portland with Love. All proceeds from the sales were donated to the victims of the earthquake and resulting tsunami that struck Japan on March 11th.
From Portland with Love is the brain child of Matt at Hellion Gallery in Portland, OR, who has close ties to the art community in Japan as well as Portland, OR. Work from the likes of: Blaine Fontana, Joe Shea, Eyeone, Racecar13, Scott Hewson and many other greats... graced the walls. The show took place at Hatos Bar where it was displayed April 12th - 16th. I'm happy to know that my(Joe's) piece, Murphy's Bar, plus many others sold, thus contributing to a great cause. There is still artwork from the show available for purchase on the Hellion Gallery website, please visit the link above to see more...
