Thank You Islands Fold, Cantab Publishing, The Holster, and Seems for providing the Subliminal Projects book case with some new materials.
Today we were graced by the presence of some bold new members of sumi ink club: two drummers butchy and aaron, a painter named Akira, as well as representatives from Toyota’s Heya community. What a mix! We’re working busily on hand-painted fabrics for a new line of sumi smocks designed by the Smockshop. Who will wear these incredible one of a kind pieces? A fancy lady or a beach bum? See if you can find Butchy’s hieroglyphic hamburger.
Sumi Ink Club and Smockshop will collaborate on a line of one-of-a-kind sumi smocks, designed by Michelle Brunnick and Kate Hilseth and handpainted by the Sumi Ink CLub.
A smock is a simple wrap-around garment based on a pattern designed by artist, Andrea Zittel, and can be worn as a dress, tunic, or cape. The possibilities are endless. The new line of Sumi Smocks is set to be unveiled late August-early September 2008. We are in the workshop drawing non-stop until then.
Last night Sumi Ink CLub covered over a yard of fabric with intricate all-over drawings and patterns. We plan to photograph the final one-of-a-kind textiles and present the drawings in the form of a book in addition to the line of 5-10 exquisite, bold sumi garments. Sumi Smock pre-orders are accepted, contact the smockshop for details.
You can visit the Smockshop in Chinatown from June 27th until September 21st 2008 at
936 Mei Ling Way - behind Hop Louie in the old Rental Gallery Space.

wednesday night (august 6th) at 9 pm or so
lucky dragons will play on the roof of
1830 sunset blvd (on top of the echo). afterwards there is a screening of a 16mm print of
jack smith’s “flaming creatures”.
i have often thought of this as a perfect movie (maybe because its only like 43 minutes long? and tony conrad made the soundtrack? and, according to legend, the only remaining negative of it was buried after it was banned for “total lack of social value”, so all copies of it look like they were filmed in the 1890’s? and it was filmed on a rooftop, and now we watch it on a rooftop?). come see us and then it and then we’ll talk about it all in the night air. it’s good.
five dollars to get in, doors at 8:30 yes yes!
sumi ink club is part of the group show “return to sender” at KRETS in malmo… opening saturday 2nd of august 13-16 pm… the show is up until 31st of august… if you are around go see go see!!
