Texas Crude Show

This post is about a show I participated in a while back, but for generally lame reasons I’m only posting about it now. Sorry.

For those who know me, one of the first venues I worked with in Austin was Co-Lab. There are a number of things which make Co-Lab a unique project space for Austin artists, but one of my favorites is its pseudo lawlessness. Every time I visit, I can be sure to see something different, and if the show isn’t that great, there’s still a good time to be had with free drinks and excellent company. But every so often, there comes a show that gets me pumped beyond belief.

Texas Crude would be one of those shows.

A lot of the credit goes to Matthew Winters for putting this magical show together. Even Vrooooom artist and collaborator Sarah Welch got into the mix with some drawings that took the crude to a whole nutha level. So with all of this general awesomeness occurring on our doorstep, you know we had to get involved. What follows is a collection of images from the opening, but be advised; some may be too crude for your tastes and definitely not safe for work. Be warned.
