Paul Guinan has turned in his work on the coffee-table book Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel. The publisher, Abrams, has scheduled an October release. The robot celebrated by participating in the inauguration of our new President–for a new twentieth century! Huzzah!  Boilerplate and Archie Campion in a presidential political parade on Halsted Street in Chicago, 1896. Thursday’s Portland Tribune, reporting on Richard Finn’s Portland Comic Book Show, printed an image of Paul Guinan’s Boilerplate from the Eisner nominated graphic novel “Heartbreakers Meet Boilerplate.” Paul will be attending the show today (Sunday), along with fellow studio member Ron Randall. As mentioned earlier in this blog, Paul Guinan’s Victorian robot Boilerplate is the mascot for the indie band STARS. Paul went to their Portland concert last week and came home with a bag of swag. Boilerplate adorns not just the the album’s cover, but the the North American tour’s T-shirts, tote bags, and poster. They even made a pendant of the ol’ ‘bot!
Paul Guinan’s Victorian robot, Boilerplate, has been adopted as the “mascot” for the latest album by Stars, an indie pop band from Toronto. The mechanical man appears on the Sad Robots CD cover, tour poster, and assorted merchandise such as T-shirts, tote bags, and a necklace.
A typical news item about the album, along with a small collage of Boilerplate images, can be found HERE. Stars is currently on a North American tour. They’re playing in Portland, Oregon this Wednesday, October 8, at the Wonder Ballroom. Since Guinan resides in Portland, he plans to attend the show, possibly with Boilerplate in tow…
Along with Jonathan Case, Paul Guinan did a painting for McMenamins. It’s at the Kennedy School’s Boiler Room Bar–yes, Paul’s robot Boilerplate is involved… Sure, you’ve always suspected Paul Guinan of having the widest-ranging talent of anyone you know… but now, here’s proof! During the First Thursday gallery gala for June, Paul will display a one-man exhibition of works in a variety of media–from paintings on canvas, to traditional photography, to ink drawings. Also on display will be the digital art that Paul calls “Paintography,” and even some homemade toys. This is a truly unique event, with rarely viewed original art and previously unseen work. Not quite a retrospective, but certainly the most comprehensive show Paul has ever mounted. It’s not to be missed! At the opening will be Anina Bennett, who will present the public debut of Paul’s nude portrait of her. How’s that for a little interest-piquing teaser?! PAUL GUINAN: MULTIMEDIA MAN
Opening June 5, 2008, 6pm – 10pm Exhibiting throughout the month of June. Sequential Art Gallery + Studio
