Over the summer they were shooting the second season of the show
Portlandia. Portlandia is a show about the ever dazzling Portland, Oregon- it has a couple of Saturday Night Live cast members that star in it- and they do different comedy sketches based on the unusualness of Portland. Portland has been known for it being a little on the special side, but the show highlights that. :) I was lucky enough to help out with one of the sketches with some art work.
I was under top secret orders until the episode aired which it just aired this last Friday. Me and a handful of my artsy friends went to the work party and made a bunch of "bad art" for the sketch. It was pretty exciting going to a warehouse in the industrial district and being put to work for the day. The sketch was poking fun at the amount of art in Portland especially in coffee shops but the funny twist was that it was all supposed to be "bad". So here are some photos from the day!
I still can't believe I helped out for something that made it on tv. :) Happy Monday!
Special thanks to

wow, that is incredible! I have seen clips from the show, like "put a bird on it", which was hilarious, but that is all. Looks interestingly funny to me! Congrats on you "Bad" art making it on TV!

Way to go for making stuff that made it onto tv! I've yet to watch that show, but it has been recommended to me many times because people often mistake me from being from Portland. I'd like some of that 'bad art'. I'll watch the show now if I can find it.
how awesome! i was dying over that sketch with the bad artwork :p how cool!
Sounds like a really great show to me Erika. I absolutely adore Portland too from a few days spent there when I was younger, good fun to me.
