HOUSE of HANDS Halloween Havanna – party setup
November 8th, 2009graypants collaborated with House of Hands on the human hive themed art party at havana on halloween night. we enlisted Jaws (our laser cutter) for a week of shredding to help cut 1500 cardboard rings to clad the walls of the hive. we also hung a cluster of our HIVE shaped scraplights at the center of the space. the party was a huge success for House of Hands and will likely lead to another bash at the same location on new year’s eve. we’ll keep you posted! photos by marius nita.
a huge thank you!!

the smith tower
September 25th, 2009
a few months back, we were lucky enough to hang a handful of our scrap lights in the penthouse of the smith tower here in seattle (some of you may remember the nest event we participated in). we all know the smith tower. i’ve known of it for years – even before moving to seattle. we studied it in architecture school. it is an awesome building, and i wanted to post a couple recent photos i took of it to pay homage to its awesomeness. simple, as, that.
if you’re interested – i feel that this building’s observation deck offers the best view of our wonderful city… still.

September 23rd, 2009mark vonrosenstiel has invaded our stairwell. taking over with cast dog heads along the steps and painted canines and canaries on the walls, vonrosenstiel has pulled the vitality and color of our captitol hill neighborhood right from the street and into our studio. see more.
graypants hosts fashion benefit party
September 18th, 2009noah cooley organized and led the urban rest stop fashion show at the graypants studio on wednesday, september 9th. this was a chance for the 25 attendees to come together, be creative, enjoy some good food, and help raise funds and clothing supplies for the urban rest stop. we paired off into 10 teams and each came up with a theme under the umbrella concept of DISSONANCE which drove the designers and models to develop new ideas and combinations using everyday garments. the event was a big success fit with a rooftop runway lined with shoes, spotlights, a photographer, and of course dj nick robin. nice work cooley!

most of us know this corner
August 29th, 2009It’s my favorite corner in Seattle. Yeah, I know – It’s that decrepit old building at Pine + 11th, and most of us Capitol Hill residents have been waiting for years to finally see it replaced or at least used for something other than a plasterboard for posters and graffiti. Somehow, though, it’s become a cultural staple in the neighborhood for me, and I look forward to walking by it every day.
As of about a month ago now, it has been slated to be developed as a mix of retail and artist housing. This is great news, but Capitol Hill needs this to be a successful project. I’m grateful that the design for the new 6-story building will preserve and make use of the original building’s facade, but PLEASE – let’s do this right.
500 pine party
August 26th, 2009the fun patrol of seattle won 10k to throw a huge party all of which was documented by a film crew to be used in jansport’s ads and commercials. they won the cash for deciding to celebrate a creative street block that once housed some of seattle’s best bars. last year that block was demolished and replaced by a parking lot, the ceremonial burial ground of Capitol Hill nightlife. graypants donated some of their ideas, time, and scraplights for one special night on august 20th to celebrate that old block where we once roamed. the end result was a reconstructed street facade with beautiful colors, textures, and very familiar entrances.
