Tim Armstrong Avenues & Alleyways Opening Reception

After I waited in line for hours and almost didn't even get in, I had the privilege to attend the opening of Tim Armstrong's Avenues and Alleyways opening reception in Echo Park, Los Angeles.  It featured a special live performance by Tim Timebomb & Friends along with Shepard Fairey as the DJ.

The art show featured 78 of his most recent pieces which included drawings, paintings, watercolors, mixed media, and silkscreen which was set in acrylic and spray paint.  Subliminal Projects who hosted the event, also, released a box set which contained 45 screen prints which were on sale as well.

Tim Armstrong's (Operation Ivy, Rancid, The Transplants) approach to his music is the same pure and raw emotion that fills each of his art pieces.  His art is a well-balanced presentation of his life, along with the tools of his craft, and poetic lines that capture the piece.

Here is a mini showing of some of my favorite pieces.

Make sure to check out the exhibit from January 24 - February 22, 2014.
