LAB BOSTON x PAINT PENS IN PURSES

Paint Pens in Purses is an all-female urban art series. Since the jump off in the summer Shayna Yasuhara, founder and Boston-based illustration artist, has become absolutely obsessed with the on-going quest to find cream of the crop artists and bring them to you. Paint Pens is not about selling art to put over your couch instead it is about seeking out art you will rememberstuff that will give you strange dreams at night.

For the second show in the fall Paint Pens in Purses teamed up with LAB Boston and co-owners Todd MacLeod & Kim Harris. LAB is a collaborative space for artists, streetwear aficionados, record collectors and vinyl toy fans. For this show we invited artists Ali Horeanopoulos, Ashley B. Clark, Genie B., Silver Oris, Shayna Shenanigans and tofusquirrel to showcase their various forms of artwork. Music by DJ D-Lux and DJ Kares, a well-known Boston breaks DJ.

As an added bonus to the second show we added a live-art portion in which Kim Harris, Shayna Shenanigans and tofusquirrel combined forces to paint LABs 25ft window storefront. After approximately six hours, a massive amount of paint and the help of Nicholas Dimancescu to film this live-art feat we not only created a head-turning display but also two youtube videos that will be filed under favorites forever.
