It’s all about the Benjamins on Franklin street! Chris Smith is continuing the takeover of all the bars in Brooklyn with a show of affordable art at TBD in Greenpoint. Everything is priced around $100 or less! He’s created a new set of vibrant race car themed graphics and he’ll be showing letterpress prints, photos and paintings. Including signshadows, roadsign girls, vintage race cars and more!

There’ll be extended happy hour prices and drink specials after that. Check out the art, then enjoy tbd’s new massive outdoor beer garden.

The show will be up for the month of June, and we’ll be selling the work right off the wall so be sure to stop by often! If you can’t make it to the opening be sure to come by for Northside Festival on June 11th!

This is going to be awesome, even for those of you who are not into INDY 500.  Check out this event at t.b.d.

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK – Watch the INDY 500 on 3 large HDTV screens while you race HO scale slotcars. Races start at 12pm and continue until there’s no one left alive!

subtexture takes over t.b.d. Brooklyn with racing themed art on the walls, racing movies on 3 hdtv screens before and after the big race. Put your driving skills and pride on the line and test your nerves in head to head rubber on plastic racing action on 3 blazing fast AFX electric slot-car tracks.

Slotcar Fury is a night of drinking, driving and good old fashioned fun, in the form of racing HO or 1/24th scale slotcars. We set up AFX and Tyco brand tracks in various locations around New York, usually in a gallery or loft setting.

HO scale slotcars are about the same size as your common Hot Wheel or Matchbox car. the difference being that they have electric motors and are a lot more fun! They run on an track equipped with 2 metal stripes which give power to the car. The car has a metal pin between the front wheels which fits into a slot that runs between the 2 metal strips. Magnets in the car’s chassis hold the car to the metal strips so it doesn’t fly off the track.

The driver propels the car by pulling the trigger on the pistol-like controller. The trick is to apply just the right amount of speed to propel the car but not so much that it flys off the track in the corner.
