A.Shay Hahn "Positive Propaganda Pieces" at the Wilson 96

CONSUME
16x20 inches,acrylic on canvas
$300.00
Awhile back my friend J.Mote and I were talking about our mutual love of Communist Propaganda Posters and he'd asked if I'd ever done any of my own spins on the form. I thought this was a fantastic and inspired notion so I went home and got to work learning the form as best as I could.
Also at the same time I'm messing with my style and palette and trying to work cumulatively by just dabbing different colours all over and trying to make it work. Figure usually begin with a rough crimson outline and then go from there. This was the Second of the attempts "CONSUME".
Meant to inspire folks to consume knowledge.
More thoughts and notes on these new works as I post them this week.

A.Shay Hahn at the Wilson 96,Sept-Oct.



Many thanks to S & G Power for the oppurtunity to hang my work at the Wilson 96 for the months of September and October. Some of the prices have changed, the framed 10x12s are still $140.00 but the larger work has gone up (not too much) with the exception of "The Woman Who Loved Cocktails" which is now $340.00. Head on over to College Str and have a look and maybe go to dinner at Red Fish while on College and let Chef David Friedman cook you up some great sustainable seafood dishes.
There is also some NEW work at the Wilson 96 and I'll get to that in just a minute. It's fine to pay the staff (Cash only) and there is an ATM on site.

New Constant Companion



 Sometimes I gripe and groan that people never read my blog and then along comes a gift that gives me hope that my posts do actually reach people out there in the Internet. Here is the new coffee cup that sits beside me as I work on "Popular Mechanics" for the Cameron House in November.
many thanks to D&C Parker
