Individual Collective
For those that don't know the IC gallery on 419 Georgia St. has closed its doors as of the end of January, but that doesn't mean IC as a whole has disbanded in any way. A few updates:
- We are currently in talks with Ozcat radio in Vallejo to throw OSS at their Radio Station/Venue dubbed The Emerald Room. Once finalized, the show may be thrown on the 4th Saturday of March.
- IC is now working on getting official non-profit status.
- Tuesday night meetings will still be held weekly, usually at the McShellBucks (McDonalds/Shell Gas/Starbucks Combo) just off of I-80 in Vallejo. If you have an interest in attending please e-mail me at atunac@gmail.com and I will let you know the location each week.
- We have not completely excluded the idea of opening another IC gallery in Vallejo at a later time.
Thanks to everyone who came through and supported/collaborated/performed/displayed/help clean/everything else at the IC gallery throughout the year we were open. Much appreciated.

Wonderland presents "Down the Rabbit Hole" Last day this Saturday
It's been a great pleasure working with my teammates Jonathan Fung, Eric Otto, and Monika Jones on this powerful art installation! Wonderland as well as DTRH has been making major
waves in the media. I did the initial concept for the proposal which is the above image. It was great being apart of the production design. Everyone did a terrific job and took the audience into
the eyes of the victims of Human Trafficking. Please come see the show on it's last
week! Here's the info:
“Down The Rabbit Hole”, (YWAM building) - 357 Ellis Street
Also Mad Thanks to all the organizations that supported this installation and this show:

IC @ Vallejo's 2nd Annual Chalk Walk
IC Blows it up for the 2nd straight year, this time as the featuring artists! The idea was to do a huge gumball machine holding prize capsules of all of our characters at the intersection of Georgia and Santa Clara... Other than a bus illegally driving through the top of the piece (WTF Paddle!) the event was a home run and gave us yet another chance to show Vallejo what kind of talent exists right here! Great job to all IC members and be sure to check out our flickr to see more detail shots!
Also, If anyone else has pics, send em to nick@individualcollective.com so we can share them with the world! Thanks!

ICUC MYSTERY REVEALED (including video of the making)
THURSDAY: CRIS EDWARDS WALKS IN THE STUDIO AND A HUGE PASTEUP IS AGAINST THE CEILING AND MASS TEXTS AND TWITTERS EVERYONE IN IC. EVERYONE IS SHOCKED AND AMAZED AT WHAT HAPPENED AND NO ONE KNOWS WHO IT IS. PEOPLE START PUTTING THE BLAME ON PEOPLE.
FRIDAY: ANOTHER HUGE PASTEUP IS ON THE GALLERY WALL AS WELL AS 'UNDERGROUND COLLECTIVE' NEXT TO 'INDIVIDUAL COLLECTIVE' AND CHARACTERS EYES WHITED OUT AND REPLACED WITH SWIRLY EYES ON THE COLLABORATIVE WALL. RAW-UL TWITTERS THERE IS ANOTHER ONE AND EVERYONE STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHO DID IT.
SATURDAY: IC ROCK THE COWBELLS EVENT. AFTER A LONG NIGHT, AND WHEN THE GALLERY CLEARS ALL BUT IC MEMBERS, ICUC IS REVEALED.
NOW BEFORE I TELL YOU WHO IT IS, LET ME ADD THE DETAIL I SHOULD HAVE IN THE LAST POST. THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE PASTE UPS HAD TO BE A KEYHOLDER OF THE IC GALLERY. THE IC GALLERY WAS NOT BROKEN INTO. IT WAS NOT PUT UP MYSTERIOUSLY DURING AN EVENT OR OPEN HOURS. YEA, THE PIECES CLEARLY MOCKED ALL OF IC'S CHARACTERS BUT IT WAS CLEARLY A JOKE AND WOULD NOT BE TAKEN ANY FURTHER BY VANDALIZING OR DESTROYING ANYONE ELSE'S ARTWORK.
WITH ALL THAT SAID, LET ME TELL YOU WHO THESE PRANKSTERS ARE.....TIMOTHY G (OF IC AND DAT:AA), CRIS EDWARDS (OF IC), AND.....MYSELF (OF IC, DAT:AA, AND S&B). YES I PLAYED A PART OF IT AS ONE OF THE ARTISTS AND HELPERS. CRIS AND TIM CAME UP WITH THE IDEA A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE AND TUESDAY AFTERNOON, TOLD ME TO WAKE UP BECAUSE THEY HAD A 'SECRET MISSION' THEY WANTED ME TO BE A PART OF. I KNEW ALOT OF THE IC CHARACTERS SO I HELPED IN MOCKING THEM UP AS WELL. OUR INTENTIONS WERE NOT BAD, BUT JUST TO SHOW THAT PEOPLE IN IC CAN COME UP WITH A SUCCESSFUL AND AMAZING COLLABORATION. WE DID NOT START THIS ICUC PROJECT TO BE SELECTIVE AND LEAVE OUT ANYONE, BUT WHERE WOULD THE MYSTERY AND FUN BE WITHOUT THE GAME OF 'GUESS WHO'. WELL THE MYSTERY DRAGGED ON LONG ENOUGH AND THERE GOES YOUR ANSWER. ICUC IS TIM, CRIS, AND MYSELF. THE IC CREW GAVE US PROPS FOR PULLING OFF SUCH A STUNT AS WELL AS THE ART BUT WITH A BIG MYSTERY AND SECRET TO THE CREW LET TO BLAMING I DID NOT WANT TO HAPPEN AS WELL AS SUSPICION OF OUR GALLERY BEING UNSAFE. SO TO EVERYONE, ICUC IS NOT OUT THERE TO VANDALIZE YOUR ART BEING HELD IN THE GALLERY. YOUR ART PIECES ARE AS SAFE AS ANY OTHER ART GALLERY OUT THERE. THE MOCKS ON THE COLLABORATIVE WALL WERE TWEAKED WITH BECAUSE I KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO BE PAINTED OVER THE NEXT DAY ANYWAYS. EVERYONE IN IC IS VERY RESPONSIBLE AND VERY PROFESSIONAL WITH OUR GALLERY, BUT...WE STILL ARE HUMAN AND LIKE TO HAVE FUN TOO. I CAN HONESTLY TRUST EVERYONE IN IC WITH ANYTHING. I GUESS THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO SAY EXCEPT THIS IS ANOTHER PAGE IN THE HISTORY OF INDIVIDUAL COLLECTIVE. PEACE.
Now here is the raw footage of the process!:
