"Lately, I’m happiest while drawing with a knife. Spray painting plastic. It’s a ridiculous medium, and I think I’m the only one doing it, at least in this way. People think my lines are printed vinyl or paint, but no! It’s stenciled meticulously, each and every line was two cuts and each piece is a thousand cuts. You kinda have to see them in person. It’s like urban stain glass." - Attaboy, aka Daniel Seifert, aka, Hi-Fructose co-founder, presents Antidote, a solo show at 1:AM SF gallery.

This will be his first solo show in SF since 2001. The show will include recent works that represent a swarm of his latest art in unlikely mediums.

Although the East Bay Express recently referred to Richmond’s own Attaboy as a “grizzled ex-graffiti artist,” the mural currently adorning the exterior wall of San Francisco’s 1:AM Gallery is his first act of “street art.” Inside, Atta has transformed the space into a dark Seussian fantasy, complete with a Gooberry tree that would certainly please the Doctor. It’s always interesting to see what artists can do with different materials, and Antidote showed that acrylic suits Attaboy (and vice versa). In an interview on 1:AM’s blog, Atta described working with plastic.

The pieces are simply awesome, I love how Atta' painted on large pieces of acrylic, this lends to an amazing fell for all the pieces giving them an almost 3D look as the light bounces through the "canvas" and created shadow forms on the wall, really cool! There were a ton of people on hand including artist Alex Pardee and fellow blogger Scott from Laughing Squid! - SpankyStokes August 15, 2009
