Much of MadGods inspiration is derived from the remnants of past culture. These veins of originality are no longer with us in the form of authentic style and rebellion that existed in the formative years of youth culture, music, skateboarding and the independent artist. Most only recognize the patterns left in the wake of original influence.

MadGods has always taken a fondness to the interpretation of our own subcultures by foreign voyeurs, more specifically, the methodical breakdown of western music and skateboarding imagery and styles by Japanese Otaku cool hunters at the turn of the millennium. Using this fondness as a filter of sorts, we touch on realms of thought that we once believed were slowly becoming extinct with a new generation of youth that don’t remember a world before the internet. Using a familiar aesthetic, we perfect the art of dressing sheep in wolf’s clothing.

ReCap: A12 closing reception at the FAB Gallery

September 24th, 2009

img_6889So a couple weeks back I suggested you go to these two art shows, both of which featured our artist Randy Muniz. I missed the TARP show at the Mexic Arte but everyone told me it was a hot sweaty success. As I told you in my post about Las Vegas, I returned from the POOL tradeshow and after a couple hours rest hit the streets again. I went to the second of the 2 art shows In the House as well as a concert featuring some old friends. Here are the pics from both events.

(stay tuned for the edited version where I attempt to provide names for the artists and their pieces)
