Art & Design of Kelli Murray

I had the opportunity to work with incredible singer songwriter BREANNE DUREN in designing some new t-shirts for the launch of her new website.  She is best known for her involvement with OWL CITY…..the pretty voice behind lead singer Adam Young.  But she recently came out with her own debut album that is nothing short of amazing.  Check out her newest tracks “Daydreams” and “Catch You” – yuuummy.

Saturday marked 2 years since the launch of Sezio.org.  Sezio is a non-profit artists’ organization providing resources, exposure and community support to artists and musicians through a variety of new media, events, retail and community programs.  They’ve been a great support to me and my work and I am always excited to see what new event or creative project they are working on next.  To celebrate  their two year anniversary they booked Subtext Gallery and The Casbah for an all out block party. The first portion of the evening was hosted at Subtext, featuring a live performance by Little Deadman and an art opening showcasing (almost) every artist that’s been featured on Sezio.org.  Each artist was mailed a 12×12 birch panel, hand-crafted by Wes Bruce under the tutelage of Mike Maxwell….the rest was up to us.

Around 9:30pm the evening shifted over to The Casbah for performances by Writer, Cuckoo Chaos, Trouble in the Wind, and Knorphus in The Atari Lounge.

Over the weekend I had the rare opportunity to create art on a 16′ X 7′ chalk wall set up at the Del Mar Fair.  The chalk mural was for Microsoft’s new phone – KIN – a new touch screen cell phone developed for social networking.  Having never worked with chalk before, I was a little shy in taking on the project, but after a bit of convincing, I decided to go for it…..with the assistance of my good friend and fellow artist AMANDA MUELLER. (check out her art…she’s pretty fab!) We worked Friday June 11th through Sunday June 13th on three separate concepts…all related to the theme of “staying connected”.  We had a blast drawing all day surrounded by fair fanatics and getting whiffs of funnel cake and kettle corn!  Thanks Microsoft for the opportunity!
