Location: Wall of Sound

So this in-store is an extra something because it also a new album release celebration. Recordings for the Life on Earth began at home and were then interpreted by Andrew Hernandez in a classic analog studio in Austin, TX. Powerful voice, dreamy guitar. And that shit is HEAVY. In a dark kind of way. “She’s not telling stories; she’s after incantation and trance”—New York Times

Location: Wall of Sound

The Art of Tom Dewar @ Wall of Sound Patina, Prints & Americana

Opening night Friday July 17th from 7-9pm Show runs through August 30th     Perhaps best known for the nearly one hundred screen printed rock posters Dewar has drawn, designed and printed over the last ten years in Seattle, Dewar is stretching his finely developed screen printing techniques to produce large oil paintings, relief prints and hand carved linocuts for his show at Wall of Sound July 17. A number of oil paintings, prints and drawings will be on display primarily featuring his affinity for fine details and beat-up old American cars. It’s an unassuming mix of Americana, iconography, rust and weeds that creates the old scenes reminiscent of the Montana landscape that has shaped Dewar’s artistic obsessions.     The show will also include several screen printed works--  muscle cars in varying degrees of decay, and a screen print diptych featuring fictitious scenes from eras past of the Wallingford and Broadway locations of Dick’s Drive-in, Seattle’s locally famous burger joint. Although Dewar continues to work in print media, he’s experimenting with new techniques and methods with all art in the show based on his original pen and ink drawings. All pieces underscore one theme: bad ass cars and bad ass dudes. Of particular interest here, is the printed tribute to another Montananative and long-time idol, Evel Kneivel.     About the Artist :   Tom Dewar was born in Great Falls, Montanain 1977. Dewar attended the University of Montanain Missoula. He majored in art with an emphasis on printmaking. This July will mark Dewar’s tenth year as a Seattleite. His graphic design career in Seattle has yielded nearly one hundred screen printed rock posters for bands and venues in and around the Northwest, as well as a plethora of other freelance design jobs including the recent design of a microbrew label for a brewery in Montana. His rock posters have been the subject of both solo and group art shows in Seattle, Portland and Missoula over the past decade, including four posters in the Experience Music Project’s permanent collection. The Art of Tom Dewar at Wall of Sound will not feature any of his screen printed rock posters; rather a new generation of creativity will be on display.
