eLLIPTIC Empire: Mars –1

Photobucket

Kestin got a call from Brianne Service, another dope artist we have had the pleasure of growing with over the past 9 years. We went to Sheridan together, we made some waves with 1i5 Studios together. She’s one of our best friends. Back to the story, she called Kestin last week and was yelling over the phone, ‘I just met Mars –1, he’s dope, down to earth. His art is amazing!!!!’ So Kestin decided to roll by his show at Meta with Wittfooth and Winnel after we passed by Show And Tell to talk with the gallery owner, Simon, Saturday afternoon.

The show was stellar! That’s all we have to really say, great space and beautiful work. New fans. Definitely a solid showing. For more information visit www.metagallery.com.

Wittfooth, Johnny Crap and Turf One (Really rad artists and friends of ours), first screen-prints off the press, fresh ink, were completed today by Jon Todd Fine Art / Calavera. They look amazing! If you can’t afford an original and you’re a fan of their work these prints should definitely be on your list. We feel screen prints are much closer to an original than average Giclee Printing! They could also be a great addition to your collection along side an original.

They are all collector items, limited edition color screen prints, on authentic vintage 1920 paper. They are also signed and number by the artist.

These will not be available online at www.ellipticempire.com just yet, but both Jon Todd and Kestin have there prints available for purchase online now.
