A native of Mount Vernon, Ohio, artist Shawn Wolfe has called Seattle his home since 1990. His work has appeared in Raygun, Emigre, Print, Slant, The Rocket and The Stranger. He has designed CD packages for various music acts, including Negativland's Dispepsi and most recently "The William Loose Songbook" by Seattle legend Richard Peterson. Wolfe's clients have included Fuct Skateboards, 26 Red, Mercury Records, Sub Pop, Arista, Sweet Mother Recordings, Tasty Shows, Rudy's Barbershops, The Ace Hotel and ARO.space. In 1995 he contributed "A Guide To Personal Branding" to The Happy Mutant Handbook (bOING bOING/Riverhead Books). Wolfe is currently developing an animated adult-oriented TV series about a cartoon rock group called "The Vandalias" with Minneapolis powerpop wunderkind Dan Sarka. He describes the project as "a cross between Speed Racer and The Partridge Family". His ongoing anti-branding campaign Beatkit(tm) has vowed to terminate by the end of the millennium. There will however be opportunities to catch the uncanny "advertisement for its own future uselessness" when Wolfe shows his Beatkit work at Consolidated Works (through November 28th, 1999) and at Houston from December 2nd through January 12th.
