Object
Wonderful Union proudly presents "Object" by the creative collective Royale. Through an intense and visceral depiction of assembly, disassembly and ultimately destruction, the exhibit proposes an alternate perspective on the idea of essence in the absence of semantic distortion.

We’re Getting Fat…
with awards, that is. We were ecstatic to hear our name called out at this year’s Seattle Show. We were awarded The Seattle Show’s coveted award, oddly titled “The Chubby,” for our work on the Getty Images “Change Me” website. We also were nominated for 2 other websites: Getty Images “Gestalt” and Nintendo “Tetris DS.”

We Are Gros
Our friend Jeff Gros’ photography has always been a studio favorite.

Home Sweet Home
After spending the last year in Belltown, we decided we missed Ballard too much and have moved back. We’re excited about the new space and are in the process of laying down hardwood floors and trying not to chop off any fingers with the saw. One of the best parts of the new space? We will be opening a gallery, a dream of ours for sometime. We can’t wait to present work from some of our favorite artists.

I Know What You Did Last Night
We all have wild ideas from time to time. Sometimes we take them too far. Our resident wildman, Michael, decided to take his love for photoblogs to the next level by replacing the usual party pics with where the party really happens: on the dance floor. Let me see that fancy footwork and dance your way over to Last Nights Shoes.
