Thanks to Joe Boccia of Arkkive 440 once again for creating this killer teaser video!

On Saturday, November 12th from 7PM – 11PM, Pale Horse Design and Gallery presents “Serious Sh!t,” a one-night only show, featuring:

• Horsebites, whose bold illustrations have made him a highly sought after artist in the music and apparel industry, will delight with a selection of gritty and nasty pen and ink drawings injected with color, caffeine and booze—the true definition of a Horsebites piece.
• Embear will showcase a new collection of ridiculous doodles inspired by her “wacky” childhood and unique point of view—some sweet, some absurd and some rated M for mature.
• Pale Horse questions conventional thinking and pushes cultural boundaries with highly detailed and ornate illustrations and engravings—retching with loud colors and psychedelic intensity.

Fierce, forceful and a little insane. This is Serious Sh!t.

New original artwork, T-shirts, prints and artist products will be available at the opening. Don’t miss it! RSVP here.

Other gallery openings on the 600 Block on November 12th include Allen Hampton’s “To the Abbey of the Thelema!” at The Collective and “Bitchin’ Art Show at Blue Lucy.

On Friday, June 10th from 7PM – 11PM, Pale Horse Design and FIND Art Magazine presents “Art Across America,” a touring concept that brings the art to the people via a moving box truck that transforms into a fold-out gallery on wheels.

This show will include:

-    A big rig of independent artwork curated by FIND Art Magazine
-    Live painting by BASK and Allen Hampton
-    New t-shirt and merchandise launch and other surprises by Pale Horse Design
-    Music by DJ MEGA

The purpose of the FIND Art Across America tour is to FIND artists and share their work with the entire world, creating an unprecedented arts phenomenon while bringing together for the first time a national arts community.

FIND has curated the gallery with some of the best independent artists in the country and is now driving 14,000 miles to not only showcase the artists they’ve found and meet new artists along the way. The two-month tour began in Orange County and will culminate at the L.A. Art Machine International Urban Art Festival, July 15-17, 2011, with Pale Horse Design chosen as the Tampa Bay destination.

LIVE PAINTING by local heroes and world-renowned artists, BASK and ALLEN HAMPTON.

PLUS, NEW T-SHIRT LAUNCH AND OTHER MERCHANDISE BY PALE HORSE DESIGN.

The new, Limited Edition Pale Horse products and T-shirt: “Balinese Demon” will be available online in the Pale Horse online store soon after the release party.

Pale Horse Design is located at 611 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, FL. There is no cover and all ages are welcome.

Point & Shoot Yourself Teaser from Joe Boccia on Vimeo.

On Saturday, October 30th from 7PM – 11PM, Pale Horse is back with a new take on the traditional photography exhibit!

The “Point and Shoot Yourself” Art Show is a one-night only show:

• Tired of the same ole art show? Well we want you to be part of the exhibit. Tampa Bay artists, Aziritt, Casey Paquet, Chase Donald, Allen Leper Hampton and Pale Horse will be creating custom-made, monster-inspired photo standees that you can take your picture with. BRING YOUR CAMERAS AND BE PART OF THE SHOW!

• Allen Leper Hampton showcases a collection of photographs (never previously shown) that chronicles his travels across the South, capturing raw moments of life, death and subtle beauty that’s often overlooked in our fast-paced lives. No fancy techniques, just an honest look at the world through Allen’s eyes.

• The mystique of true black metal has always intrigued us since we first heard the story of Mayhem. Emily Dwyer and Chris Parks (Pale Horse) presents a series of self-portraits as a homage to their Scandinavian brothers.

Also on the 600 Block that night: The Collective is having a dope glass show called Pipe Dreams. Blue Lucy presents the awesome Glow Show. Vitale Gallery (Best Gallery in the Bay) will come correct. And we expect others on the block to be holding it down. Come out and have fun!

It’s been a super busy summer for Pale Horse Design. We just moved into our new studio space on Central Avenue’s 600 Block in Downtown, St. Petersburg, FL and celebrated with a grand opening exhibit of new wood engravings, prints and skate decks. We also launched 2 new t-shirts and a line of wood engraved jewelry! Get an inside look at the new studio with the video below, see photos from the grand opening and get your hands on all the new, limited edition swag from the launch!

After four years at our current location in downtown St. Petersburg, we are super excited to join our friends like Vitale Studio, Blue Lucy, Star Booty, State Theater, Daddy Kool Records, T2theS, All Sewn Up and more on the 600 Block of Central Ave!

To commemorate the move, we’re having a one-night only exhibit, entitled, “Splinters and Papercuts” on Saturday, July 24^th – showcasing new wood and paper engravings, jewelry, skateboards, t-shirts and prints by Pale Horse at the new studio location – 611 Central Avenue.

For this exhibit, we’re combining tattoo-style imagery, mythical and religious iconography, and satirical themes, with laser engraving techniques to create custom wood art pieces. We’ll also be launching new skateboard decks, prints, 2 new t-shirts  and the Pale Horse wooden jewelry line!
