New York City
Woodshed made its debut at an East Village pop-up celebration with a first look into the transmedia story-world. Cast, crew, friends, and family gathered for this grassroots event turned block party, with collaborators from London, Oregon, and Florida coming together to join the NYC team. The gallery exhibited a collection of illustrations, and hosted the first public screening of the animated short 'Booster Packs' throughout the day to a growing crowd.
This event was the first stop on the inaugural trip into the Woodshed realm. A place where the imaginations of Jonny and the crew spiral down rabbit holes of inspiration and illusion, weaving narratives that explore outsider culture, mental health, music, love and loss. Indulging in a lazy afternoon game of cards, the stakes get high for Jonny and Sherm in 'Booster Packs' when they find themselves transported to the supernatural bayous of Apocalaya.
Throughout the event and into the evening, the drop of the Season #001 DYM Keepsafe Trading Cards wreaked havoc on the block. Friendly trading turned to heated debates over the rarest cards. Each mystery pack included Woodshed characters, friends of Woodshed, artwork, and special holographic editions. Limited to 300 editions, all stock sold out within a matter of hours.
This debut exhibition was a celebration of underground art, animation, and independent publishing. Thank you to everyone who came and supported!
