“Artpocalypse” is the brain-child of Washington, DC professional visual artist Dana Ellyn. With the impending ‘end of the world’ foretold by the Mayan civilization, set to happen on December 21, 2012, Ellyn wanted to create something special to celebrate the end of humanity.

Dana Ellyn has called together 20+ of DC’s established and undiscovered artists to create works of art that predict and parody what might happen to us all on the night of December 21, 2012. Beginning at 7pm on the 21st of December, the general public is invited to come to The Dunes gallery in Columbia Heights to help celebrate and party away our final moments on Earth. Come sample the unique paintings and sculpture while enjoying inspired music and drink as we all wait for ‘the end’ together. Because, if the end of the world is coming, we might as well enjoy it and be with friends.

Big thanks to DOZE Magazine, based out of Madrid, Spain for the great interview and photo spread.  Also features The art of Christian Rex van Minneninnen. See it here. Extra bonus points if you read Spanish.

The fine folks over at Borderstan stopped by a few weeks ago. Big thanks to Eliza and Luis.

He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at University of Michigan in 1983, and considers himself “lucky” to know he wanted to be an artist from an early age. Although he has primarily worked in the world of painting and fine art over the past ten years, he also works as a children’s book illustrator and works in animation, graphic design and drawing.
