(There is a flyer too, but its just way too small.)

Obama. I mean…just sayin’.

So, as promised below, we are continuing to unfold all the awesome news. And when I say “news,” I mean it in the literal sense.

Take a look.

Okay, so I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “I have no idea what this is. I mean, it’s obvious it’s some type of newspaper, but geez, it’s the worst friggin picture ever taken. Reynolds must’ve done this.” And you’re right. And I knew you’d be whining.

So all whiners click here.

(Disclaimer: any supporter of Reynolds & Griffin, has the right to whine. It’s a part of the deal. Like a benefit package.)

So there have been  a lot of exciting things going on. And we plan tell you about all of them, one at a time.

First let’s start with THIS!

Booyah!

(Now you all understand the corny, yet kinda clever title to this post. I hope.)

Come out this Friday, July 18th and check your boy Reynolds out at HOME, an open mic at Hillyer Art Space (not my house). The awesome thing is that I’ll be representing Reynolds & Griffin, 2001 style. For those of you who don’t know what 2001 style is, just think about what it means when an emcee says, “I’m gonna rock 1995, or 1988 style.” Or when a singer says, “I’m gonna rock 1965 style, ” if that makes any sense. Simply put, I’m gonna get busy.

This is a dope follow-up to the art show, and gives all those who missed it, a chance to get a double whammy!

I will be representing both of us, because Griffin will be hard at work on a MAJOR art show in October. You know it’s major when the dude is knee deep in work, in JULY!!!

We’ll keep you posted on how that’s going. See ya Friday!

Well, the art opening is over. And it was a great night of awesomeness. I must say, this opening was far from pretentious, and more like, “Welcome home boys. It took you bastards long enough!” It was lots of fun. Lots of laughter. Lots of art. Shouts to all those who came out to support, and a big boom shaka laka to Mandy Burrow and Ben Tolman, two other AWESOME artists showing in the Hillyer Art Space.

(Sorry. Didn’t get any shots of the art, or the people. We were way too busy having fun to take all those shots. Hay, sometimes we just gotta live. BUT the show will be up allllllllll summer. So no excuses. Yes, I’m talking to you. NO EXCUSES.)

Hillyer Art Space is located at 9 Hillyer Ct. NW Washington DC

Note: Fellas, huddle up right quick. This is what we call an alley-oop. You’ll look cultured, cool, and creative. Send us an email and let us know you’re coming, and we’ll make you look like the biggest art connoisseur in the world. HA!

Okay, so I guess it’s time to let the cat out the bag…especially since we’re only one week away from the Reynolds & Griffin “My Name Is Jason.” art show!!!

That’s right. We are sooooo excited, to be coming home to show some of our work, in an awesome gallery in NW Washington DC. The gallery is called Hillyer Art Space, and is a part of International Arts and Artists! To give you a clue on why this is huge, David Driskell sits on the board of this gallery! (Hay, sometimes namedropping is appropriate…Kanye West is my cousin…and I play squash with Sean, well, Diddy to most.)

So yeah, this Friday the Jasons are showing in Hillyer Art Space, from 6-9, in Washington DC! Don’t worry we’ll post more info in the next day or so.

and of course…

(Shrieking feedback) Uh, yeah. So, this is Reynolds. It’s been a while. But I’m back. First thing everyone should know…Reynolds & Griffin are still at it. Second thing…this website is still sweet, and lastly…SOMETHING IS A’BREWIN’! Something awesome.

Some.Thing.Awe.Some. Really, you want to be a part of this.

(Sigh) Feels good to be back!

Our buddy Griffin has been scouring the streets of NY for potential sitters (people to pose for paintings) for his upcoming show in October at the Leo Kesting Gallery. It’s always interesting approaching somebody you don’t know and trying to convince them to pose for a painting… without seeming a bit psycho. Nonetheless, he’s giving it a shot! So for all those poor people that have been stopped in there tracks on the sidewalk, interrupted while reading their morning paper, approached in the middle of lunch at the noodle shop - these next images are for you. Here is a preview of what YOU might look like in one of his paintings. Trust me, it will be more than worth the experience.
