Paintings by Jay Wescott Featured for a Second Month at BalMar

Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Jay Wescott’s fascination with typography and cartooning started at a young age. Ever since, he has been working to incorporate the two through drawings, illustrations, murals, and design.

He has dedicated the past ten years of his life to street art, and continues to push the envelope and set the standard for perfection.  His work can be seen in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Germany, France, and Holland.

 This particular group of work was inspired by the floral life I see in Seattle.  My goal was to capture the beauty we get to see for only a short period of time each year.

New and Expanded Handbag Collection by Aiko Tanaka of Thezakka On View at Venue this September

Handbag designer Aiko Tanaka was born and raised in Japan. After being a graphic designer for eight years she decided to convert her ideas and designs into a product and came up with her company "thezakka" in 2009. 

Aiko finds fabrics from around the world - using whatever she falls in love with. With her design sensibilities, she tries to create something new by playing with colors and patterns the fabric has. Her unique combination of frame and fabric makes her bags unusual and fresh.

She will be expanding her Venue collection this month to include a "wristlet" as a new style in addition to clutches, sunglass cases, coin purses and jewelry travel cases.

  He’s a Photoshop phenomenon, Illustrator Einstein, and a master of Mixed Media.  13fngrs has worked as an Art Director for Macy’s and Illustrated many of their national campaigns.  Currently he works by day as the driving artistic force behind a cutting edge tech company, but by night… He works mashing up pop culture, fine art, monster movies, Disney characters, and anything else that is stuck inside his enormous head, into a style that is all his own.
