Lift will proudly be hosting the last showing of Bigshot Toyworks Natural Resources 3, a customized wooden figure show featuring pieces by Travis Lampe, Chris Ryniak, Brian Morris, Sean Mahan, Lola, Brian Flynn, Ken Keirns, local artists and more!
I am participating in this show! I’m really excited. I just picked up my blank Average Joe Schmoe today and I’m already scheming what he will look like customized.
Also, I’m really digging the new Lift logo.
The show opens November 13th from 7 - 10pm.
I have three pieces in this show, including a brand-spankin’ new one (which I’ll post a picture of soon). The show opens today, but there is going to be a big closing reception instead of an opening. Costumes are encouraged for it, but not required.
Suckle on this teaser! M&HD2: Detroit Foot Long Edition
What in the what? A new M&HD show?! IN Detroit?!
Man, I sure hope Kill Taupe is ready for some ridiculous Puff Bun paintings from me because wild horses could not stop me from being in this show. Unless the wild horses are on meth… then maybe. Those fuckers get desperate.
“A Bun A Day” Solo Exhibition by Heather Hansma

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.
