Thanks to everyone for attending the Erik Jones show last night.  This was his last art event before heading off to the Big Apple and we wish him the best.  He deserves some serious attention and we look forward to working with him in the future.  Keep an eye out for product collaborations in the new year!!!

For those who missed the event, his available originals are now online in our original art section.  There are some beautiful prints still available in the shop so please come by and enjoy seeing the originals in person because the art is massive and impressive (that’s what she said).

Phil Noto is not only a beloved comic artist, he is also one of the most popular artist to ever show art at Uberbot!  His once a year events always sell out within minutes to locals and fans who fly in to have a chance to purchase a “Noto Girl”.  Today, for the first time ever, we have a Noto piece available outside of an official art event.  The beautiful “Kitty” is a perfect example of Noto’s best work and measures a whoppin’ 36 x 48 canvas!!  Amazing!  Full image after the Jump!

For many of us, 2008 is the toughest year of our lives. Some of our friends and loved ones are art war and wondering why. Jobs are being lost left and right. Bills are getting tough to pay with gas at almost $4 a gallon and rising. Our homes have lost their value. Much of the world looks down upon our country … oh man, we can go on and on. This is a scary time both in business and personal lives and much of it is related to politics. Is it wise for a business to get involved? Most probably not. However, Überbot isn’t just a place to buy and sell goods. It is a part of the community and culture of our town and these things are greatly effected by the political landscape. With so much at stake, this year is truly the most important year on so many levels. We need our economy back. We need to rebuild a sense of self and our standing in the world. To us, there has never been a clearer choice.

The message of Hope that follows Barack Obama has expressed itself in the streets with the most amazing art movement. Überbot would like to continue this movement with your help! We are asking artists to send us their Obama artwork. We will pick the most impressive work and make sure it gets out into the world so that all of our words and feelings are expressed. Be active!

Last night was the night of firsts. It was our first store-wide sale, our first group art show for painted work, our first event put together in just a week, the first show we had during a thunderstorm and the first show in the freakin’ dark! That’s right, boys and girls. A little over an hour into the evening the power in half of the Village went out! Many of you stayed and enjoyed the art by cell phone light and purchased items with cash. About 50 minutes later things kicked back on and we rocketed towards our sales goal and beat it by more than double!!

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us and this last minute event! You guys are all amazing and we’re happy to have you as part of our store!! Thanks to everyone who got the word out. Thanks to the talented artists of the evening and those who supported those artists by purchasing some of the best work we’ve had in the shop. Thanks to Jim for trying to take some photos when it was pitch black. Thanks to Pete for the tunes. Thanks to Kevin for the stilt walking and dirty balloons. Thanks to Dan, Lindsay and the Orlando Weekly for sponsoring the event. Thank you Shirley for the Sacred Heart of Steven Cake. Most of all, another thanks to everyone who came out. We had fun and we hope you did as well.

Due to the power outage - we’ll announce winning raffle numbers online tonight.

Note: If you missed out on the seeing all of the art, most of it is available for viewing and purchase RIGHT HERE!!
