Eatcho
a Portland artist,
flowing with water,
blood shot eyes,
feeling the heat,
battle after battle,
he seeps in oil,
twisting relations,
grinding his teeth,
the inside turns,
a joker within,
exposes the brat,
finding his rhythm,
he raises the flag,
right foot forward.
Words by H.E.
Below is a video taken by Hungry Eyeball, as Eatcho talks about his latest painting, “Right Foot Forward“.
Grass Hut will be hosting a book release for Sergej Vutuc on September 10th, 2011 from 6-8pm at the new art market.
He’s skated all the way from Germany and other lands just to share his new epic hardbound book of photography, skate and otherwise.
Deep pools and thick rich tones and packed into this melee of punk and skate photography. Stop by and hang out with Sergej.
This video documents Jesse Reno’s painting process, as he works on 4 paintings simultaneously from start to finish. one of the paintings becomes collaged into one of the others so he ends with 3 finished pieces. The idea was to document Jesse’s process as pure and true to form as possible. jumping from one piece to another and back again as the impulses and urges push and pull him. Painting over layer after layer as he searches for just the right feeling, composition, meaning, and colors he needs to see to call a painting finished. through out the video there are still shots that hold every so often to help the viewer better see each piece in its entirety during its process. This should help you the viewer keep track of whats going on.. good luck..you might need to see it twice to fully understand it..
The video was shot over the course of 4 days, in the course of approximately 36 hrs. It was all shot as a series of still photographs adding up to approximately 30,000 photos. Wisa Kuuttila shot all the photos and assembled them into the animation. Jesse composed, recorded, and produced all the music.

Willkommen zu Zukünftspielplatz, crazy golfers! For those of you who don’t sprechen sie Deutsch, “Zukünftspielplatz” is German for “future playground”, and it’s the inspiring and resplendent theme of this year’s Minigolf Art Invitational! That’s right Portland, Holocene’s beloved annual event is back for a fifth year of synthetic microcosms, boundless artistic imagination, and putt-putt mayhem. Though it may seem hard to imagine what could top last year’s Minigolf festivities, where holes encompassed Heaven, Hell, the Willamette River, and just about everything in between (cf: Pancakes!), just wait til you see what we have in store for you this time around!
Some of Portland’s most talented visual artists have set their minds and hands to work on the subject of next-dimensional, intergalactic, avant-recreation, and the results range from defying convention to challenging the laws of physics! You and your besties will have to navigate your way through hungry robots, a forest towering at 15 feet, and even a black hole! You might sink an ace in the hole alongside live dancers, or go all MJ (R.I.P.) and moonwalk around some celestial bodies.
On this playground of the future, anything and everything is possible – time, space, perception, gravity, light, and movement all become objects of fancy, malleable instruments in a universe bent to the weird and wonderful will of the artist. Yet just as in any other kind of play, there’s nothing like some healthy competition: so you—yes, YOU, the putt-putters—will be voting on the best holes, and the winning artists will go home with cash prizes! Speaking of prizes: look sharp, folks, as the best-dressed future-golfers among you will be showered with gifts! Also, for the snacky golfers, we’ll have munchies galore! Spudnik, Potato Champion’s new mobile french fry cart, will be rolling up streetside for your poutine fix. Inside the club, Lisa of Lulu’s Confections will be walking around the course peddling some absolutely divine homemade cookies.
And if all this isn’t tantalizing enough, we at Holocene also did a lil’ bit of what we do best – we booked some bands.
April 13 will feature the clamoring mosaic-pop of Rafter, the Asthmatic Kitty signees and San Diego natives whose utter joviality and onstage antics put them right at home on the playground. The local love will be provided by May Ling, the sexy side project of Reporter’s Alberta Poon and Dan Grazzini, whose breathy, pulsing synth pop gems are sure to have you tearin’ up the astroturf.
April 14 will feature Gulls, the nome de plume of ultra-talented local beatmaker and experimentalist Jesse Munro Johnson. Stylish and soulful, his beat driven bombast has some serious b-ball swagger. The 14tth will also feature a set of Fleetwood Mac dance edits by Head Shop Boys, the ultra rad psychedelic dance project of Linger & Quiet’s Matthew Kwiatkowski and W+K creative force David Neevel. Both nights will also be graced with the dj stylings of many of Portland’s finest, providing you the ultimate soundtrack for your golfing whimsy. All told, you’ve got no excuse for missing the aesthetic euphoria which will abound on this course!
Check out Jimmy, the Putt-Putt crazed muppet, getting stoked on our fine pastime:
Inspired by Eatcho’s painting, “Right Foot Forward“.
