The CCD Art & Supply Co. to Present Group Show 'THE ST. VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE', 2/7

Art collective THE CCD ART & SUPPLY CO. presents their second group art show: "THE ST. VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE: MOBSTER MOVIES... IN BLOOD RED!" The show features works from sixteen artists inspired by sixteen famous mobster movies and opens for one night only on Saturday, February 7 at 8pm at the Irish Haven bar at 5721 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Admission is free, and all the artwork featured is for sale.

THE CCD ART & SUPPLY CO. is an art collective created by pop-culture enthusiast/writer Mike DeVito and artist Tommy Lombardozzi. "A lot of the artists that I knew were wildly talented yet didn't have the means or marketplace to sell their artwork individually," DeVito said, "so it is much easier to join our established group to help facilitate the release of their material to the world."

The collective was formed as an off-shoot of DeVito's pop-culture-themed blog Cultural Compulsive Disorder: CCDblog.com. "The CCD ART & SUPPLY CO.'s goal is to create, share, and sell original artwork created by like-minded artists, both traditional and digital," Lombardozzi explained, "while focusing on pop-culture subjects we love: movies, comics, tv, music, literature, video games, or toys."

In choosing the show's theme, Lombardozzi explained that he and co-founder DeVito were "throwing ideas around" when the St. Valentine's Day massacre came up. "Since the blog and the collective focus on pop-culture related stuff, we had to figure out how to relate that theme back to pop-culture. The mobster movies facilitated that." The show's venue, the Irish Haven, is a veteran of both Brooklyn and mobster movies: it opened in 1964 and was featured in Martin Scorcese's film "The Departed," which is also served as inspiration for one of the works featured in the show.
