Meet Derek and see his art This Thursday !

Derek Olsen is a painter, silk screener and tattoo artist currently working at Black Hole Tattoo & Body Piercing in Portland. He often paints as an attempt to better understand the things that inspire him...be it a flock of birds, Japanese wood block prints, old tattoo flash or a brass band marching down the street. Derek has a desire to comprehend what it is, how it makes him feel, and why it moves him. This show is a series of work ranging from small to large, with a set of free-standing privacy screens as a utilitarian way to make large scale artwork more accessible. Please enjoy his attempts at understanding. myspace.com/d2r23

Artist Reception Party May 7th 7-10pm

Live Music: Celilo
Celilo fuses the dark and dreamy indie city skylines with a drawling rural charm into moody Americana rock. The lead singer, Sloan, has beaten down vocals that travel on world-worn wisdom through barrooms, bedrooms, and back roads. Celilo summons up the driving pop of early Wilco and conjures the bleak beauty of Townes Van Zandt. celiloband.com

Benefit: 15% of all event proceeds go to Mercy Corps

Beer: Widmer Brothers Brewery

Bonus: 20% off all regular price merchandise from 7-10pm. (not to be combined with other offers)

RYZ Launch Party for Caldera

Lizard Lounge sent me this hot invite via Twitter - First Thursday April 2nd from 7-10pm
The official Portland launch of RYZ Wear ! "Founded by a group of ex-industry sneaker geeks who believed in a better way, RYZ isn’t just another fashion brand. It’s a new way of thinking about the fashion business that includes getting input --and ultimately forming a partnership -- with their customers. Unlike the fashionista elite who dictate style from on high, RYZ invites anyone to design the perfect pair of shoes. They’ll produce the most popular designs, sell them around the world, and share the profits with the designer. Everybody wins.
Music & Entertainment by DJ Verbz Beer: Widmer Brothers Brewery Benefit: 15% of event sales go to Caldera ! I love calderaarts.org Bonus: Save 10% on regular price items from 7-10pm. (Not to be combined with other offers) I am not sure if I should wear "My Cops Hate Me" shoes or the "Caveman" design...you will have to be there and find out!
