VIVID DECAY #1: DAVID POLKA Documentary

Friday, April 26th, 2013

Endless Canvas is proud to release the first episode of VIVID DECAY: Creating Beauty in a Broken System in partnership with Grounded Media Network!

David Polka is a visual artist and graphic designer currently based in Oakland, CA. Originally from Las Cruces, New Mexico, he is a graduate of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and has been exhibiting work professionally since 2006.

Drawing inspiration from abandoned and neglected places, stories and people, Polka’s work distills the ephemeral nature of human experience into a visual record of accumulated memories and emotions. Flowing, abstract forms envelop figures weary from loss and hardship in an exploration of transitory connections. Reflecting a myriad of aesthetic influences including Native American art, graffiti, anime, and Colonial and Byzantine devotional art, these images examine how personal interactions are fostered and eroded by adversity, revealing the lines connecting different facets of our existence with irrevocable patterns of life and death, destruction and rebirth.

To view his latest work, visit davidpolka.com.

GUERILLA COCKTAIL PARTY by True Modern (at SPECIAL DELIVERY 2012)

Monday, December 3rd, 2012

This past Saturday (December 1st, 2012), True Modern set up a guerilla cocktail party inside The Carbon Warehouse. The abandoned ink factory housing Endless Canvas‘s SPECIAL DELIVERY Bay Area 2012 Mural Exhibit provided a beautiful contrast to the custom Modernist furniture displayed at the cocktail party. As models served h’orderves, guests were given flash lights and encouraged to explore three stories of the post apocalyptic museum. It was pouring rain and the flooded floors turned into giant mirrors giving new life to the artwork. Water ran through the eyes of murals from floor to floor creating the Bay Area’s own Trevi Fountain. What I thought was going to be a simple furniture shoot turned into one of the most gorgeous things I’ve ever seen.

ENDLESS CANVAS Shirts Available – Design by Best HandStyle Contest Winner TBIS

Monday, February 27th, 2012

FREE SHIPPING (in the USA) on these shirts if you order before midnight on February 28th, 2012.
Grab yours here… www.EndlessCanvas.BigCartel.com

This shirt features an EC design by TBIS, the winner of our 2012 ENDLESS CANVAS Best HandStyle Contest! There were well over 150 submissions that came in internationally. Thank you everyone for supporting the Bay Area Graffiti Art scene!

AVAILABLE IN:
- Black on a Standard Unisex shirt or
- Charcoal Grey on smaller Female Cut shirts.

SPECS:
- 100% Cotton (Pre-Shrunk)
- Ultra soft “Discharge” screen print pulled by hand.

Discharge is a printing process where instead of putting uncomfortable ink onto the shirt we remove the dye from the shirt leaving the natural cotton color. It can never fade or crack because it is literally an anti-print that cannot be felt at all.

For the ladies that means the design wont buckle when stretched out over your chest like traditional plastisol shirts do.

Available here… www.EndlessCanvas.BigCartel.com
