Behind the scenes of Portlandia
Local artists create “bad art” for Season 2 of
Portlandia
Results to be auctioned to benefit local charities.
Portland, OR- January 19, 2012
Portlandia Season 2, Episode 5, “Cops Redesigned”, aired on February 3rd. It featured a sketch called “Good Walls Bad Art” spoofing the cliche art that is often shown in coffee shops and other such public venues. Featuring themes like flying coffee cups, and kitties hanging from tree branches, this is the type of work that many arts connoisseurs love to hate.
Portlandia Production Designer, Tyler Robinson, enlisted the help of local art consultant, Bridget Larrabee, aka “Art Scout,” to organize a task force of local artists and challenge them to create “bad art” to share on national TV. The experience proved both challenging and rewarding for professional painters and photographers that were involved: Anna Magruder, Shawn Demarest, Andrew Ferguson and Rebecca Shapario, Jolie Guillebeau, Jenn Feeney, Nicole Daughters, Erica Lee Sears.
Once filming was complete, each original work was autographed by Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein, and guest star, Sean Hayes. Fred and Carrie, who are large supporters of the Humane Society, requested that one of the cat-inspired pieces be donated to the Humane Society Auction “This piece of art gifted to us will go a long way towards saving many homeless pets in our community” - Barbara Baugnon. Another piece has been promised to KZME 107.1, a local arts-focused radio station. There are a few more works that are still available for donation. Please contact Bridget Larrabee bridget@myartscout.com for further information.

:::ERIK ABEL:::
These paintings are pieces from his Oceanic Temple and Weather Pattern collection, and have been in inventory here while he traveled for over 2 1/2 years in New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, the Tongan and Fijian Islands. Now back in the US, Erik is living in Ventura, CA at the WAV Art Compound and he is coming to pick up these paintings soon, so this will be your last chance to buy them before they leave the state. Free delivery to Portlanders. just send and email bridget@myartscout.com or 503-515-1178.

Erik is heavily influenced by and
involved in the surf/skate/snow sports industry and working
as a freelance graphic designer and art director for over 15
years, Abel's method of bold, graphical imagery fused with
his loose brush, pen and pencil work seems to find a growing
niche of it's own in the fast rising "Urban Contemporary" art
movement. Among the clients his style has attracted are
Billabong, Reef, Oxbow, Maui & Sons, and Surfing
Magazine.
