EVOKER @ OneWay Providence
We've been a bit off track lately here at Studio Miners, with computer viruses, the holidays and window painting taking up a lot of our time. So, we wanted to share the most exciting of those three things: EVOKER painting the windows at OneWay Gallery in RI. Here's a look at him bringing some holiday cheer to downtown Providence. We'll be back up tomorrow with a visit to Dana Woulfe's studio.

Pat Falco
Location: Boston, MA
Space: Pat Falco's Studio
November 2011
Pat Falco is not a douchebag, but even if we decided to call him one in this post, he'd probably not even care and end up just chuckling about it later. He's that rad of a guy and has a great sense of humor that shows in his artwork. We had the pleasure of meeting Pat at Lincoln Arts Project or LAP Gallery in Waltham, MA, a space he is co-running that has been generating some serious life in the art scene around the Boston area. We visited Pat in his studio at The Distillery in South Boston where we got to be amused time and time again by his work and ended up buying a painting for our own collection (and trust me, we are kind of cheap, so we don't buy a lot of anything). Pat is a graduate of MassART, where he played on the basketball team and studied illustration. His work often features historical figures, basketball players and witty phrases that will make you laugh. You can find his artwork adorning clothes in his brand, Pedro Romero, a name that often gets him street cred for being Hispanic when he is actually Italian. You can pay Pat a visit during open studios at The Distillery or at LAP (you'll know the building, it's the one with a Caleb Neelon and Katie Yamasaki mural on it). Enjoy the images below!

Dance Party Massacre
Location: Boston, MA
Space: Alex from Dance Party Massacre's Studio
November 2011
We visited with Alex Dakoulas a graphic designer for Converse and graduate of MassART who runs Dance Party Massacre, a clothing brand that mixes elements from horror movies with keen graphic design to create tongue-in-cheek pieces. Alex also calls on the talents of several other designers to create pieces for the DPM brand. 4 years ago, DPM was launched, fittingly on Halloween night. DPM's name conveys its playful edge, poking fun at campy horror films and pop icons with its witty slogans and imagery. Alex noted that the brand "is not about the killers, it's about the survivors," a line he has written on an inspiration wall in his studio. DPM is not meant to be morbid, but instead, by focusing on the survivors, it takes on a hopeful type of perspective.
