HOUR BAND Warehouse Sessions and Interview

Posted on February 7, 2012 by MOFOZ

Here is a teaser trailer from Austin rockers HOUR BAND Warehouse Sessions. These sessions which run the length of their new album “ONLY” were filmed in an Austin warehouse/art center where the band set up and curated the art in the backgrounds. We were pumped to help out with several art pieces that are displayed throughout the video.

This week the band was also featured in a Qand A session in UWEEKLY written by Sarah Vasquez. Hour Band talks about the start of the band and the intensely detailed artwork (600+ layer photo collage) that was created with Austin design company Warning Kick to accompany the release of the album.

Custom TDK Boombox

Posted on July 1, 2011 by MOFOZ

Custom TDK Boombox

This custom painted boombox was done for a friend of ours that wanted some dope graphics painted on this new school boombox. This TDK blaster is sweet, nice black finish on the front of it, minimal knobs, and it has inputs for USB, RCA as well as a 1/4 inch jack so that you can plug an instrument into it and play using the boombox as an amplifier. Artist, Marc Zuazua painted the boombox using acrylic markers, and painters tape to create the “cassette tape” graphic.

SXSW Art

Posted on May 23, 2011 by MOFOZ

We were super pumped to paint for this past SXSW Festival. We painted some amazing panels with the help of the whole crew which were then used as backdrops for inside the conferences Gear Alley where musicians were given the chance to play with the manufacturers latest instruments. The festival organization was great and gave us free reign on what was painted, which was the bees knees, being that we had some ideas we had been wanting to do large scale for a while.

Heres some pics of our official SXSW art.

sxsw art by Marc Zuazua of Mofoz VisualzThis was a design weven been wanting to put on shirts for a while, but problems arose after each attempt….so we put it on these panels instead. SXSW to us is heaven and hell, so this theme worked really well on the art. Having this placed behind the bar was genius for it as well…kudos SXSW, Kudos.

sxsw art by Marc Zuazua of Mofoz Visualz These panels were painted with SXSW directly in mind as well. The city of Austin turns into a hustling bustling turned up bunch of awesomeness… even moreso than usual. Being that we ourselves were preparing for all the SXSW madness to come, this was our ode to the city as well as the echo of lyrics from Mos Def’s set during the previous year’s festival. All the Way Turnd Up.

sxsw art by Marc Zuazua of Mofoz Visualz
In these last panels which were used to backdrop the lounge for festival goers to wind down, get some quick rest, or overall just snooze in the clouds with the parachuting foot soldiers of the Awesome Army. We felt these characters played well being that there are visitors from all over the world (not just LA, as it seems sometimes) ascending on our town/city to share and create new progressive ideas whether it be in the movie, music or interactive industries. We especially liked our TX parachuter who was blessed with a gold grill…cuz thats pretty much how we do.

ARTOMATIC

Posted on December 2, 2010 by Mofoz

ARTOMATIC was a 2 day event and celebration of arts at the Historic Victory Grill during the East Austin Studio Tour (E.A.S.T.) . The event was an art market, concert, and art show.
The event featured laser projection bombing, multimedia,bad ass music, high fives, and a 24 hr paint session.

Special shouts out to our friend Arthur who helped a bunch and had a booth set up with hiss designed tees…sorry we missed it with the photos, next time man.

This was a 24 hr paint session collaboration by Marc Zuazua and Art Vader

This is the same canvas about 24 hrs prior.

DJ TROUBLE came through to wreck the turntables and jam for a brief time with Hour Band. Troubles scratches are pretty sick. Phranchyze and Hour Band also shared stage.

artist Lena Damvar was chalking up the eastside.


Amazing oil paintings by artist Nicole Kallenberg. I love the way her pieces offer dramatic lighting as well as a very textural feel. Simply amazing pieces -check out her site, she offers various print options. Nicole is also available for custom pieces.

Art by Janelle Ciaccio. Janelle’s characters are whimsical and fun. Check out her site for more of her work and such, Its in the facebook realm of things for you FB’ers.

Marc Zuazua trudging away on probably like hour 22 or 23 of 24.

This was another 24 hr paint session collaboration done by artists Marc Zuazua and Art Vader the previous weekend at Oxblood Fest in South Austin.

Marc Zuazua and Art Vader

Art by Marc Zuazua. Marc is the lead designer for Mofoz Visualz and co-operated the 5th Gallery. His subjects range from popular hip hop icons to women seemingly made of geometric shapes and curves. Marc’s new work is heavily layered and uses everything from spray paint, markers, to glued paper and airbrush.

Art by Monika Mullin. Monika does amazing portrait style paintings using acrylics. The original pieces almost look watercolored at some places, but she masterfully blends watered down tones with sharp and expressive lines and contours to create some vibrant pieces if some of pop and hip hop cultures favorite icons.

Art by Padaric Kolander Padaric’s painting and drawings on display were amazing. The figurative lines of characters portrayed juxtapoz the open space an
d definition of the pieces.

art by Lena Damvar Lena’s ink drawings on paper were pretty cool wethinks. Amazing detail and fine line skills are shown in her design heavy work.

Art by Padaric Kolander, these amazing large scale drawings used vibrant spaces of color that force the viewer to look closer at the detailed sketches.

Art by Nicole Kallenberg


Lena chalking it up some more

TEXAS.

Artist Nicole Kallenberg and company. Nicole was painting a pretty cool piece onsite of a woman and a guitar, cant wait to see the finished piece.

Art by Art Vader. Art Vader is an artist from Corpus Christi whose art often portrays spaceships, skeletons, musicians, religious themes, and robots. Highly science fiction inspired and beautiful, bold, colors often characterize his pieces.


Marc
Custom kicks and gear by Mofoz Visualz and Hour Band.

Amber Keller is an amazing jewelry maker, illustartor, painter….and general maker of cool things. Her sister was in town to help her create all walks of jewelry. The cool thing about Amber’s work is that most pieces are made of found objects that she then recycles into funy and fashionable items…like a gambit and rogue pair of earings. Check out her site Lost and Founded-it has a lot of creative wearables.

Art by famed French graffiti writer Andre aka Monsieur A line the entrabc corridor of the Historic Victory Grill. A few Sxsw’s ago i think Belvedere vodka brought the artists through for a party, and he painted said walls, and annoyed said staff haha. artists.

Art by Solomon Perry of Phantazm. Solomon was actually in Houston showing and painting at DJ, Rapid Ric’s studio grand opening during Art Crawl Houston. We were glad to have a few pieces from him in Austin to showcase, as well as have him share a few of our pieces in Houston for Ric’s awesome event.Solomon is an amazing artists that specialize
s in 3-D illusions.

Art by Phantazm

Art by John Weber. John Weber is a steel sculpture artists that uses recycled stainless steel for his pieces. Most of John’s work is kinetic, meaning that it moves, usually with the wind , and with some of his newer projects with the aid of motorized fans. Real cool stuff.


Here are some projections that we had going on throughout the night.
The following are pictures taken from photographer Wendell Ramsey who captured the laser bombing pretty nicely..
Art Vader and Marc Zuazua collaborations
Late night painting
Here are some shots of the laser bombing. As you caan see from the picture below , the laser pointer’s canvas is actually set up behind the painting being collaborated. The camera would follow and track the lasers movements on the canvas which was then projected onto buildings. It was fun to see people get so lost in trying to create legible letters using a laser pointer…good times.
