The Autumn Society will illustrate their visions of childhood favorites - somewhere between plastic molding & imagination. On site donation box for a new, unwrapped toy.

PLAYTIME on PHILLYist

Great, original article about the event over at phillyist
Props to writing only based on the press release info.

Playtime!

here's to Mat K for putting on a cool show for a wonderful cause. I would love to see the Autumn Society occasionally do more to give back, and Toys for Tots this season will bring a lot of joy to a lot of kids

i was honored to collaborate on the flyer with Mat, and had the most fun i have had drawing all year trying to capture the joy that came with getting a good toy on Christmas. Besides adding a little something for the drop box, my contribution to the wall was printing our flyer art onto watercolor paper. i then added watercolors, pencil flourishes, and even a little glow in the dark paint to the robot and his ray gun sparks.

Happy Holidays to everyone

THIS FRIDAY! It's PLAYTIME!

Ladies & Gentlemen of the Autumn Society,

It is my great pleasure to announce that we have one more show in store for you this year, just in time for the holidays! A special thank-you to Mat Kerfren for putting this all together!

PLAYTIME
The Autumn Society is proud to present, PLAYTIME, it’s first charity art show!
Toys bring children joy, spark imaginations and inspire creativity. Help others in the Philadelphia area so that less fortunate children can still have the joy of a new toy this holiday season. What was your first toy? Your favorite? What amazing adventures did you go on with your action figures? What distant planets did you explore with your spaceship?
The Autumn Society will illustrate their visions of childhood favorites - somewhere between plastic molding & imagination.

There will be a donation box on site for new, unwrapped toys for our local Philadelphia Chapter Toys for Tots. And a portion of the proceeds will go to Toys for Tots nationally. Join us this December on First Friday for the art, the nostalgia, and the gift of charity.

"EVOLUTION" for The Video Game Gore Show

I finished my piece this weekend! Long, boring details here!

POSTER PRINTS NOW AVAILABLE HERE

Introductions and my VGG Teaser

Hello, I'm matK. I worked with Game, Jeff, Craig, PW! and more at Atomica. I have wanted to participate in the Autumn Society since the 8-Bit Show in philly and just kept putting it off. I'm a graphic designer first, but have always done illustration too. I look up to you guys and the work you do that you do has been an inspiration to push my craft. The recent 3G show started biting me again to join. Jeff told me about the Halloween and Video Games show and that finally pushed me over the edge - I HAD TO PARTICIPATE!

I am happily working on my piece for the Video Game Gore Show - here is a sample from the series so far. I look fwd to meeting you guys online, in person at the hanging next week, and down the road...Comments, advice and hellos are all welcome! Take care.
