MC Collection Showcase: Save The Date!

Update #12 · Apr 27, 2013 · comment

What a wild ride it has been since we were all able to wave our hats in the air and celebrate the successful funding of this project!

We've been hard at work in the studio ever since, and I am so pleased to say the collection is coming together beautifully. I hope you all enjoy updates via my website and blog, and have managed to catch the press that has followed.

Contemporary art blog BadAtSports wrote a great feature on me and my work earlier this month. Read the interview HERE.

MC designs can be seen on singer Ray Dalton in the newest music video for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' song Can't Hold Us.

The Seattle Channel's program Art Zone featured MC just yesterday - Watch the television spot here.

And, drum roll please, mark your calendars for JUNE 21, 2013. My new collections will be unveiled at Seattle's historic Century Ballroom with a full evening showcase event to highlight the work, party, and celebrate the magic of it all! Tickets will go on sale in May - stay tuned for details.

A series of trunk shows and retail events are being planned for the summer and into fall - so a range of opportunities to view the collections will be on the calendar very soon!

Sending you my best,

MC

Many reasons to celebrate!

Update #11 · Feb 15, 2013 · comment

Today is the one week mark of us all being able to celebrate the successful funding of this project!  

There really are not words to express the overwhelming feeling of support, love and community I have felt throughout this journey, and I want to thank each and every one of you for the hand you had in making it happen.  This is by no means one man's project, but is in fact the result of an entire community standing behind an idea and working to make it happen.

THANK YOU - I'm deeply touched by this experience and am more than ready to make great things happen in the coming months! 

I will be doing all I can to keep you updated as the new collections materialize.  Be sure to visit the BLOG on my website often for images, updates, news and bits of inspiration as they come in.

Also keep an eye out for an information request coming soon so I can gather addresses and contact information for delivering the rewards you are all receiving in exchange for your support of this project!

And most of all,
MC loves you!
