SAINT PETERSBURG, FL November 19, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Super7 is proud to present the follow up to 2007's blockbuster show "Birds of a Feather" with the new, aptly titled show "Birds of a Feather 2," featuring artwork by Dora Drimalas, Heather Amuny-Dey, and Shay Ashley-Ometz. This show features three original new prints from each artist (nine in total) as well as a sampling of older, out-of-print, and rare prints from each artist's personal archive to create a whimsical and wonderful reflection on their lives.
Birds of a Feather 2's title is taken from the popular phrase "birds of a feather flock together," as these three women share an important bond as friends, as well as each one having established themselves a significant role in the male driven world of design. It is a rare confluence of talent and ambition that has led each of them to become some of the most respected designers working today. Birds of a Feather 2 is their chance to share more personal work about life, love, heartbreak, and happiness through the eyes of our fair feathered friends.
Birds of a Feather 2 is comprised exclusively of limited edition, hand screen printed, signed and numbered editions of art that are priced for the average customer. The works lend themselves perfectly to be framed (sized to fit a standard 16x20 frame) and priced at a moderate $40 per print. The show is an overt attempt to create unique items and gifts in time for the holidays, while encouraging access to artwork for those who traditionally are not able to afford it.
Birds of a Feather 2 opens on Saturday, November 28th at 6pm at Super7 Florida (720 2nd Street North, St. Petersburg, FL 33701, (727) 822-8685).

About Super7
Super7 was founded in 2001 as a magazine that focused on the obsessive/compulsive collecting of Japanese monsters and toys. Started by designer Brian Flynn as a personal outlet for his tastes and style, Super7 quickly began to encompass all facets of art and design, as well as toys, collaborating with many of today's most famous artists and designers as friends and peers (KAWS, Tim Biskup, Gary Baseman, Todd Schorr, Seona Hong and Dora Drimalas to name a few). Since it's inception, Super7 has grown exponentially, publishing books, hosting art shows, releasing limited art prints, apparel, creating toys, and opening it's own retail store in the Japantown district of San Francisco in 2004, and it's second store in St. Petersburg, Florida in 2009. Super7 has released over 350 toys to date, and is considered one of the first places to capture and showcase emerging art talent before it explodes into the mainstream.
