In the lair of the Chickenfish

Charity Romero Ezra Li Eismont artists Oakland California www.remadeinamerica.org www.ezrali.com www.katfive.com We are a couple of artists who have been workin' and livin' for 10 years in East Oakland, in a warehouse space called Vulcan Studios, an old metal foundry that was converted into live work lofts in the early 80's. Together we are Chez (NOT pronounced Shay but CH-EZ, Chez, like chex with a z. thank you very much.), Charity Romero and Ezra Li Eismont....this is Studio 46. We must be the luckiest artist in the world, our place is huge--with all the space and our many exploring hands we have many desks. This is the view as you enter our studio and home. On the right is Ezra's desk, straight ahead is the drying rack for silkscreening posters, and some of Ezra's paintings. This is in the main studio - Ezra's desk on the right, Charity's on the left. The paper dolls are our friends and models for our last fashun show wearing our remade clothes. turn to the left and this is the half the main studio. Charity mainly works in ceramic sculpture until recently when we started our own clothing company - remade in america, where we recycle, reuse and give new life to old clothes by reconstructing and or silkscreening them. The sewing station on the right, the multi-use station on the left.... Sometimes we have extra desks for extra projects, like the time ezra printed his art on 500 2 color silkscreen posters in two days!!! Ezra's music station. The g3 pismo on the right is for recording audio samples for Ezra's laptop band Catfive and solo project DJ Darkat, seen above are some his paintings, as well as record covers from the collection. our computer desks..where we visit our internet land of friends and where the magic of these photos somehow got to you! its amazing!! Here is the view looking down from the office into the studio. On the wall we have Antonio Sanchez, Doze, Dalek and Eskae. thanks for stopping in neighbor!- and thanks super mucho for the invite!
