The Swells


Come see the beginning of something big.
Marty Schanpf and co. will be presenting a lecture / perfomance on his newest (and most ambitious project to date) dancepod.
Come hear some amazing words in conjunction with beautiful participatory performance led by Tahni Holt (choreographer of Monster Squad). Believe me, this is more than a lecture. And you will be able to say that you were there when it all started.
Join the revolution.

Tomorrow.
8:00
The Student Union
Reed College.

feeling... dizzy...


I am driving a few blocks from my house, when I look up at a stop light to see the face of my friend Alana's face looking down at me from the RED LIGHT billboard. You can't help but start to wonder if this is some sort of strange dream. If it is, what does it mean? I immediately crashed into the Cinemagic building in front of me.

Alana is the one on the left. She is now overlooking all of Hawthorne.

good job.

Spent the whole day working on getting my up-and-coming wedding in order.
Man, am I glad I found her.

Check out the latest screen printed poster... more in the works.
Dave, let's get together an make something cool for the wall. (you too Eric)

thankyou.


I want to thank everyone for making last night a success.
Good to see so many friends and loved ones in one place.
4 of 5 paintings sold in 3 hours!
Thanks to the patrons of the arts who were willing to spend their well earned cash on my humble attempts. (Driscoll+Bonnie, Robin+Ian, Delaney, and an unnamed investor (thanks mom)).
Already getting inquiries about future stuff...
I wonder if I have started something bigger than I had thought.
Still one lonely painting left. 3 more weeks on the wall.

Working feverishly to get a more propper web site up to show you guys all of the other stuff I have been working on. I think the screen prints could be a really cool way to get my stuff to people without such a hefty price tag. I also have a bunch of smaller paintings that folks might like. Still working to get the rest of my large paintings done.

Here we are now.



If you are reading this, it is most likely that you have visited the Aalto lounge and have seen my recent paintings.
Thanks for taking the time.
What is this site?
well... it's a blog, sorta.
Actually it's a really easy way for me to get hold of you.
That's the whole point of all of this.

Introductions.
toholdyou. is an art based design collective.
It is collective in that I am a designer that tends to work in many mediums, and work with many talented folk.
Sometimes I am making T-shirts, sometimes I am making soundtracks. Every time I am trying to get closer to you.
that's it.
We all have our day jobs. Mine's in the graphic design field.
In everything I do, I am trying to change the way you see things.
This is my attempt to do it for good.

I would really like to meet you, if I haven't already. It's always good to share ideas.
If you have any ideas, you should feel free to let them be known here.
Or e-mail me (sean@toholdyou.com).
This site will ultimately become much more than a blog. It will be a place to share my ideas and use you as a sounding board. We can work together or separately. Our world will get smaller and smaller.

I can't wait.

It's your's if you really want it, Robin. (not this one. the one on the invite.)


There will be a big huge sticker on the painting (on the invite below) tomorrow for you, Robin.

I have just put the finishing touches on the paintings...
I have no idea what to expect from this effort.
I hope it will bring us closer.

Here is another painting for you to enjoy.
Pictures from the show to follow.
