Harley Davidson and 10 big names in the art world are putting on an art show in NYC this Saturday and it looks pretty fresh.

Here’s a video featuring famed artist/toy designer Tara McPherson, talking a bit about her life as an artist and her plans to customize a Harley gas tank for the show:

And if you remember a while back ago I featured some Vannen watches featuring the work of Dirty Donny. Well, Dirty Donny is also customizing a tank for the show:

HARLEY-DAVIDSON PRESENTS: ART OF REBELLION
New York Art Show, One Night Only – Saturday October 17 At LA.Venue In Chelsea, NYC

ART OF REBELLION: Art meets motorcycle culture…

The ART OF REBELLION brings together 10 U.S. artists hand-picked by Harley-Davidson®–icons and emerging artists who are world-renowned in both the music and art worlds for their rock poster artwork.  Their work will be on display at the ART OF REBELLION show Saturday, October 17, 8pm – 12am at La.VENUE (608 W. 28th Street New York, NY). The artists chosen for the event in the West Chelsea gallery district are Art Chantry, Brian Ewing, Derek Hess, Dirty Donny, Frank Kozik, Harpoon, John Van Hamersveld, Lindsey Kuhn, Tara McPherson and The Pizz.

“These artists represent the rebellious spirit that we very much connect with-mixing old with new, defying boundaries and creating fresh individual perspectives,” said Susanne Dawursk, Harley-Davidson director of Outreach Marketing. “The Art Of Rebellion is a must-see event that showcases the artists and supports the art community at large.”

Harley-Davidson created ART OF REBELLION as a forum for artists to showcase their work and interact with other artists, galleries and media, as well as give them the needed opportunity and exposure to help further their careers and leverage their credibility in the art scene. For the show, each artist will paint one Harley-Davidson Iron 883TM gas tank and they will also sell signature art posters at the show. The Iron 883–part of the Harley-Davidson’s Dark Custom line which fuses minimalist design with a vintage feel–evokes the adventurous spirit of the dawn of the 60’s motorcycle rebellion.

A portion of the proceeds from poster and tank sales will go to CUE Art Foundation. CUE Art Foundation is a 501(c) (3) non-profit forum for contemporary art that gives artists, students, scholars and art professionals resources at many stages of their careers and creative lives (http://www.cueartfoundation.org/).

Vannen x Dirty Donny Limited Edition Halloween Watches

By brownkidd on October 9th, 2009 in Gear

halloween-exclusive

Vannen, the makers of highly-collectible, limited edition designer watches, has a new treat in store just in time for Halloween. They’ve released only 150 watches designed by Dirty Donny, and 50 of them come in an ultra-limited Toxic Colorway. The colors are shipped randomly, so you have no clue what color you’ll be getting.

That toxic yellow is pretty awesome, but I wouldn’t mind the regular colorway either. I wouldn’t mind some cany corn either…

Order your Holloween Vannen watch here while they last.
