Monstrous Media!

Things have been heating up on the homefront recently and I sure as hell can feel the heat from here (‘here’ being New Zealand the ‘homefront’ being Portland, OR). See, Portland’s beloved culture perpetuators, Tender Loving Empire, is about to grow up. They’ve recently gotten ahold of a new space into which they plan to move their headquarters. The new space, I’m told, is far larger and allows for much more physical growth as well as productive growth. There will be a new gallery space, a place for live performances, all the goodies of the old NW shop, and more smiles than you can fit in a school bus. Actually, the changes are insurmountable and will surely aid the inevitable world domination for which TLE has plans.

This is a shot of the new storefront located right in Portland’s sweet spot, 412 SW 10th Avenue, super close to Powell’s and all that downtowny goodness. I love the design on this poster.

The above video features all the artists who’re contributing to the murals that will appear on the interior of the new space. There is so much talent gushing out of this video and onto the walls… can’t wait til it’s done.

And lastly here’s a flyer I just made showcase the 3rd annual TLE birthday party. This show, in the past, has consistently been one of the best shows of the each year since it’s inception. For those of you around, be sure to check it out and celebrate how far this tiny operation has come.

Keep an eye out for TLE in the coming years, dudes. We’re gonna be huge.
