Wanna Buy A Carrot? :: 2009

I painted this last year for the Meth & Hot Dogs show in St. Louis, but I didn’t get it back in time to put it in my solo show, Bunderland. You’ll get a chance to see it in person at my new solo show, A Bun A Day at Five15 from August 13th to September 10th.

“A Bun A Day” Solo Exhibition by Heather Hansma

August 13 – September 10, 2010
Reception: Friday, August 13, 7:00 – 10pm

For the second year in a row Five15 will be hosting a solo exhibition from Metro Detroit lowbrow artist Heather Hansma. Last October she presented her collection “Bunderland.” This year’s show will also be centered around her “Puff Bun” characters, a sort of egg-shaped rabbit creature with minimal features. The show’s title, “A Bun A Day,” is a takeoff on the proverb “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

The Puff Buns are generally participating in some form or pop culture parody, and this show is no different. Painted, buntastic depictions of old-school PC game SkiFree, Paczki Day in Detroit, and even Yeshua of Nazareth are all par for the course.

Five15 Media Mojo and More is an independent coffee and gift shop that prides itself on featuring counterculture art, products, and events. An opening reception for “A Bun A Day” will take place 7:00 – 10:00pm on Friday, August 13, 2010. For more information please contact the artist at heather@hansmaillustration.com.

Some people (this may or may not include me) rely heavily on Facebook to organize their social engagements. If you are one of those people, and you would like to come to my show, here is the event page so you can RSVP.

The opening is 7-10pm on August 13th. All the pieces are new from last year’s show and there will be some never before seen Puff Bun works in it. I hope to see you there.
