Saddle Up!
This is an upcoming show at the Catalyst Art Space (where we had the
"Prehistoric Show"previously), this time themed around
Spaghetti Westerns. In case you didn't see the Community episode "
A Fistful of Paintballs", westerns in a contemporary setting still rockin' something fierce!
To get several of the artists acclimated to tone of Westerns steeped in Spaghetti, I put together a DVD that we showed during early planning meetings. They featured clips, trailers, and posters from "The Good the Bad and the Ugly," "A Bullet for the General," "Once Upon a Time in the West," and "Navajo Joe" and others. The Italian directors of the time really established a unique and recognizable aesthetic that we hope to showcase in the show.

Just as a teaser, we will have our resident makeup artist (who did the
cavegirl makeup in the last show) apply her magic to make a select group of us all rugged (and possibly shot ;).
There will also be a olde-time photo-op space for folks with some Western themed ephemera to get a fancy photo-graph taken too!
Stay tuned through the invite on
Facebook EVENT PAGE here and be ready for a fine roundup, July 9th at 7:00!
[edit: WANTED POSTERS of the Artists!]

| "Captured"-- as in art form... get it~? :le sigh: |
I hope Dog the Bounty Hunter (or Boba Fett) don't take these posters too seriously~
 |
| The Lawmen will get their metal. |
[I'll post up previews of the piece I'll be contributing as updates in this post. It'll feature a mix of Tuco from "Good, Bad, Ugly" and the classic 8-bit game "Wild Gunman"]
