The Seven Virtues...

Justin is showing his work at a sweet little coffee shop on NE Glisan (and 59th Ave) in Portland called 7 Virtues. You can stop in for coffee and a bakery treat, enjoy the mystical back wall mural by Kelsey, friendly barista and resident artist, lounge on the comfy couches or bring your crumb-crunchers to the child's play area in the back. Whatever you do, just look up at the walls and gaze in wonder at the beautiful collages and paintings by Justin Potts. If you are so inclined, confer with the baristas and claim one of these fine pieces for your own! Justin's work will show until mid-September!
Here's a peak:

That's me in the bottom right corner, stirring up a lethal concoction of half-and-half and decaf americano....lethal.

The collage display.

The paintings.

Being the multi-talented man that he is, the counter at 7 Virtues also holds a display of Justin's cd, Eohippus, and a selection of his original art cards.

Sustainability Fair - February 10th @ the Hip Drip Cafe in Portland

We are very pleased to be a part of the first ever Sustainability Fair in Portland this Sunday. We

will be there talking up our new materials - sustainable design fiberboard (sdf) and milk paints - as well as peddling a selection of our brand new Earth-Friendly clock designs and recycled art. See you there!

The Post-Crafty Wonderland Post

Well, we had our first Crafty Wonderland experience last Sunday. We met several crafters that we like and traded secrets about all things craft, art and design. Here are images of "justin with display" and "mary with display". Unfortunately, it's hard to capture the true essence of the "spectacle" gear in such a small photo, but you can use your imagination! Fun!! Oh, and we sold a few clocks and prints, so we celebrated with beer and pizza afterward. If we'd sold a few more, we would have gone out for a real dinner! Anyway, we hope to be back at Crafty Wonderland in October...

Here he is: "The Spectacle"

And, "The Spectacle's Wife"

My next project involves a series of "Bird Women" and I have to get moving to be ready for the Siren Nation Marketplace on November 4. I hope to sneak a few preliminary images in here as I go.

Rebel Rabbit, Sidestreet Gallery Garden Art Show, Crafty Wonderland!

Infinity Arts is keeping busy, busy, busy. Because it's summer, we are taking advantage of the beautiful weather, creating our hearts out and participating in every local show we can muster the energy to drag our 7 foot high free-standing wall to!

I enjoyed the first Rebel Rabbit Craft Fair (Sunday, July 29) immensely and met some really nice artists/designers. Aside from a First Thursday at PosterGarden in the Pearl District, this was my first solo show (solo meaning without Justin or Jonah)!

On Friday, August 3, the whole Potts clan was at the Sidestreet Gallery in SE Portland celebrating the opening of their garden art show that runs till the end of August. I have 3 of my large block clocks (one is a collaboration with my 7-year-old, Jonah) in the show.

This coming weekend, Justin and I will be together at Crafty Wonderland at the Doug Fir in NE Portland showing our clocks, wall art, Justin's cd's and ooh-la-la, some new Ornaments that I've just made and am very excited about! Justin will be dressed in full Spectacle regalia, so come by and say hi! (if you want to know what I mean by Spectacle regalia click here!)

I have some clock designs to post, too, if I can only find the time between shows!
