LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - June 10, 2009) - Marani Brands, Inc. (
The exciting event is a tribute to two artistic legends: Tony Alva, skateboarding godfather and original bad boy of Venice Beach's infamous "Dogtown," and Wynn Miller, the influential photographer who captured the legendary Alva on and off-board during the height of the skateboarding revolution of the 1970s. A collection of these iconic photographs, appropriately named "The Mad Dog Chronicles," is now touring the nation.
"The Detournements of Wynn Miller" will feature some of the art world's greatest contemporary talents including: Shepard Fairey, Eric Monson, Mark Gonzales, Nate Frizzell, Chloe Trujillo, Robert Trujillo, Axis, Jon Chase, Dennis McNett, Lauren Bergman, Richard Villa III, Nazrn, Shawn Barber, Votan, Michael Ruiz, and Jeff Ho. Each artist will be painting their version of a Wynn Miller photograph.
Guests will be treated to live music by DJ Keith Morris of legendary bands Black Flag and The Circle Jerks, as well as Shepard Fairey, live painting by contemporary artist Mario "Fdubs" Luevanos, and an open bar provided by Monster Energy Drink and Marani Vodka. Other well-known sponsors include Scion, Asahi, Alva, and Jarritos.
"Wynn Miller's visionary photographs of his equally artistic subject, Tony Alva, have become increasingly celebrated and revered in the art world," said Marani Brands CEO, Ara Zartarian. "We are pleased to join Monster Energy Drink and other sponsors in participating in this exciting and highly-publicized event, and consider it yet another significant opportunity to bring our award-winning, ultra-premium Marani Vodka to a sophisticated audience of contemporary artists and art connoisseurs."
