On the Wall by Ami Kealoha

Local 35 is a two-year old Portland multi-use space that sells independent clothing lines and shows art. Their latest show, opening tonight from 7-10pm, fuses art and fashion, commissioning over 15 artists with customizing a pair of Vans to benefit Skaters for Portland Skateparks. Eric Railton, the man behind Akadia clothing, emblazoned his entry with a wolf (pictured) - the image that seems to be the current animal-of-choice among designers and also appears on one of the tees in his Fall/Winter line. Other participants include Eyeformtion and Brown Sound, and the show runs through the end of November.

Slow Moving Vehicle
Just when I thought I'd had enough of the whole limited edition silk-screened t-shirt business model, I stumbled upon Slow Moving Vehicle. This Los Angeles based artist floored me with the intensity of his printed tees and charmed me with his insatiable need to place his mark upon everything from apparel to accesories. Inspired by the everyday life and struggle of the city, graffiti...
