HIT + RUN

What is HIT+RUN?
Screen-printed images on clothing are a familiar sight, yet the process remains a mystery to most. HIT & RUN was conceived in 2005 by Southern California natives Mike Crivello and Brandy Flower to bring live t-shirt screenprinting to the public.

For each event, six different artists create exclusive designs that are made into silkscreens. Attendees can purchase blank shirts to customize with their own combination and placement of the images. The screens are only available during the one-night exhibitions, turning each shirt into a limited edition piece of wearable art. The Sonic Youth Record Release Party, dublab's Community Record Fair, Stones Throw's Big Party at Coachella and the "Wonder-full" party in downtown LA have all hosted HIT & RUN events.

The “HIT+RUN CREW” of designers has become an expansive, ever-growing network of both underground and street level graphic and fine artists, including notable contributors such as Cody Hudson, Kofie/Draftsmen, kozyndan, Jeff Jank, Maya Hayuk, HVW8, Kevin Lyons and Keith Tamashiro. In addition, Flower and Crivello develop their own screens for each event. These designs are the foundation for the HIT+RUN clothing line launched in 2007.

MARK OF THE BEAST

Capitalist Globalization is no longer an evil threat, but a dark reality in the 21st century.

Multinational companies condition the consuming masses with lies, deception and manipulation in the forms of advertising tricks and fetishized logos.

These mega-corporations have infiltrated the world's governments, created legislation in their favor, and become global superpowers.

Today, this misappropriation of authority has dealt us states of international conflict, a plundering of nature and its resources, imbalances in the global economy, and a tangled web of disinformation.

In April 2005, without entering the gallery or viewing any of the art, the Los Angeles Police Department shut down the debut of MARK OF THE BEAST based on a single phone complaint that the work was offensive and aggressive.

This clear violation of First Amendment rights has been downplayed and virtually overlooked by all media sources.

The End of Suburbia

Suburbia, and all it promises, has become the American Dream. But as we enter the 21st century, serious questions are beginning to emerge about the sustainability of this way of life.

With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, The End of Suburbia explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply.
