The 2nd Annual "Dear Pin-Up Girls" group show
Opening Thursday, August 9, 7pm-midnight
Laila Lounge, 113 N. 7th Street, Williamsburg
$5 suggested donation

"Dear Pin-Up Girls" is the second annual fundraiser for the New York
Foundation for the Arts to benefit s.u.n.Arts shows and help support
the emerging artists community in New York City, and is curated by
"Mouse" D. Balingit.

"Dear Pin-Up Girls" will be a subcultural mash-up of vaudeville-style
performers with artists' renderings and interpretations of pin-up
girls. As last year, the event will be a showcase of all-female
contemporary street artists, painters, and photographers working with
the subject of alternative pin-up style. Complimenting the artwork
will be burlesque acts live on stage, including Scooter Pie, Tali, and
Amber Star + friends.

Joining the burlesque, urban, graffiti, and rock scenes, "Dear Pin-Up
Girls" will feature the artists Toofly, Erotica 67, Lady K Fever, Jen
One, Lady Eyecon, Muck One, ACET, Esther Sanchez, G Piedmonte, Martina
Secondo Russo, Blair Bauer, MadgeOne, Shiro, and Alice Mizrachi. Two
DJs, Laura Rebel Angel and Onerios One, will be trading off to spin a
diverse and eclectic selection of music between stage acts, while
dressed in vintage pin-up attire.

An outdoor grill will be serving up hot (and soy) dogs, and free
giveaways will be available throughout the evening.

Acet is an inspiring graffiti writer from New Jersey. Her "style" is
agressive and can be seen on walls in New Jersey, New York,
Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Magazines and Newspapers such as
Graphotism, Mass Appeal, While You Were Sleeping and The New Jersey
Star Ledger have captured her art work in pictures and articles. She
uses a mixture of aerosol, acrylic and collages to create her canvases
that have been featured in the 2006 collaboration show of the PFE Crew
and AIDS Crew "The Streets Are Watching" and the more recent Fly ID
and Friends show "The Summer Jump Off".


Artist and illustrator Blair Bauer has fashioned a business around
Day-glo, double entendres, science friction, and schlock culture
blended well and airbrushed up into the girly-glam graffiti style
she's made her own. Today, Blair lives and works in a Brooklyn loft,
where she designs and produces her signature airbrushed clothing and
accessories, the Blairwear collection, and custom pieces as well as
producing magazine illustrations and cartoons.

Erotica 67 is a graffiti writer who has brought sensuality to walls
she has painted. Her tag is derived from Vaughn Bode's female
character "Erotica". She has been featured in publications including
the recently released Graffiti Women by Nicholas Ganz which tributes
female graffiti artists across the five continents. She continues to
paint murals with her fellow artists in the Fly ID Crew.

Jennifer Rasinski, the artist a.k.a. Jen One, draws inspiration from
hip-hop culture, specifically its music, dance, art and fashion. She
enjoys researching the history of hip-hop through people, books and
film, and illustrates this history through a range of mediums
including painting, sewing, sculpture, computer graphics and
accessories. In addition to a sense of history, a strong emphasis on
color, line, texture and composition runs through her work. JenOne
has been showing her work in galleries and magazines throughout NYC
since 2001.

Lady Eyecon, a.k.a. Irene Stergios, was born in Manila, Philippines. A
former Olympic swimming hopeful, she is now a fashion visionary and
photographer. She aims to capture a simple beauty in every object and
person she photographs. Her series of New York bodega signs displays
urban decay as beautiful. She also draws inspiration from freelance
fashion production, taking photos of designers and models in their
element backstage before a runway show. She is currently documenting
the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra, and has sat in on sessions with jazz
masters such as Marshall Allen, Art Jenkins, Danny Thompson, and Dave
Davis. Her latest series of pinup girls portrays the modern woman in
a classic pinup setting.

A multi-disciplinary artist who began her career painting graffiti in
Vancouver in the early 1990's, Lady k-Fever has been exhibiting her
canvases for over 15 years throughout Canada and the U.S. She is a
published writer, photographer and graphic designer, and a scenic
designer who has created unique environments for award-winning films,
TV shows and apparel stores. Her murals have been included in the
book Graffiti Women and featured in the magazines Urb, Trace, and Mass
Appeal. An advocate for the future generation of artists, she is a
Teaching Artist with the Bronx Museum of the Arts.


MadgeOne, originally from the eastern shore of Maryland, acquired a
curiosity with graffiti and attraction for urban lifestyles at age 15.
In Baltimore, she exploited interests in vintage clothing, fetish
modeling and tattoos. Relocating to Atlanta, she honed her skills of
hanging customized wallpaper and began painting on freight trains. Her
street art has also been seen in Japan, Thailand, and Uruguay. She is
published in Elemental Magazine and showcased in BAAD gallery and ID
project. Currently she is in business designing/installing wallpaper
and multimedia murals. MadgeOne's "style" combines textile designs
with graffiti, stenciling, mosaic and painting. Her inspiration is
from nature, graffiti, eastern art, sex and spirituality with strong
sexual undertones to compel "truth filled with angst and lust for
life."

Alice Mizrachi has worked with graphics, printmaking, drawing,
photography and painting, and studied at The Rietveld Academy in The
Netherlands. Her artwork has been featured in The Quarterly Black
Review, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, Shape Magazine, Trace
Magazine, Mass Appeal, Ricky Powell Photographs: Public Access and The
Penn Gazette. She has won worldwide contests for her snowboard and
skateboard graphics and her work has been featured in galleries in the
U.S. and elsewhere, as well as in annuals such as Elul, The
Alternative Pick, Aestheicon and Direct Art. She has held
artist-in-residencies in Westbury and New York City school districts.
Mizrachi has also donated artwork to raise funds for The Center for
Anti Violence Education and a project titled Free Ryan Matthews.

Gabrielle Piedmonte is a New York-based artist whose personal work is
a documentation of the people she surrounds herself with. Her
signature style of edgy, thought-provoking imagery leaves a lingering
memory that captures both the spontaneity and intimacy of the moment,
while drawing forth the natural personality of her subject with ease.
With her remarkable aesthetic and honest approach, G consistently
produces an eclectic and highly refined range of work dealing with the
beauty of the human spirit. A native New Yorker, G has been shooting
since childhood, spending most of her youth snapping intimate
portraits and candids of her friends. She is both a sociologist and
humanitarian with a degree in Applied Photographic Illustration from
RIT.

Martina Secondo Russo was born in Genoa, Italy but has lived in New
York for most of her life. After attending CalArts in Los Angeles,
she and her husband Frank returned to New York in 2003 to open a space
to show Underground Pop Art. Martina paints both on canvas and
plywood cut into the shapes of limbs and full bodies. She also
co-created MF Toys, a line of cute and creepy handmade toys made of
cast plastic, silk-screened canvas and faux fur. Her work is inspired
by: horror, tattoos, toys, renaissance art, pin-up art, and the
juxtaposition of beauty with the grotesque. She has exhibited at
galleries worldwide, including Strichnin in Berlin, Ad Hoc Arts in
Brooklyn, Jem in Vancouver, Trinity Gallery in Philadelphia, and
CBGB's 313 and Daniel Silverstein Galleries in New York. She has an
upcoming solo show at Tattoo Culture Gallery in Brooklyn in September
and a two-person "MF" show at Wootini in North Carolina in October.


Esther Sanchez , originally from Ontario-Canada, began a decade ago
showing her artwork in various venues throughout Toronto , while
freelancing as an illustrator. Her art will lure the viewer into her
pretty world of stylish women that are beautifully created in rich,
bold colors and eye-catching patterns. Each of her ladies has a unique
look and attitude, inspired by fashion, music, nature, anime, comic
books, toys and 60's prints. This ultra-feminine style has led her
to creative design work, painting commissions and art shows. She is
currently collaborating with a number of fashion designers and
planning to produce art events. Her pins and line of tote bags have
been featured in the New York Post and Time Out New York.

SHIRO is a graffiti artist from Japan. She began painting in 1998 in
Shizuoka, Japan. Shiro's colorful artwork is a reflection of her love
for true hip-hop. Over the years she has been touched by the essence &
soul of hip-hop culture and old school graffiti styles. She has
performed in various live painting events, participated in gallery art
shows and been a part of graffiti crew gatherings in both New York and
Japan. In addition to her murals, she has worked on canvases,
illustrations, and has designed and produced original theater stage
decorations. All of these things combine to create a unique individual
with a talented gift for creative expression. Her own characters are
just like a virtual side of herself.

Toofly's work originally drew from her experiences as a young teen
among New York's 90's male dominated graffiti culture, and the idea
that a female representation needed to exist. Inspired by female
imagery, most of all emotionally charged poses that expressed strength
and grace, the "Fly Girls" series, as featured in Juxtapoz, introduced
her style to the contemporary street art culture audience. She
continued to place them in intricate compositions on depreciated walls
alongside graffiti legends whose work continues to influence her till
this day.
