Forest Bailey Live Painting | Tactics Bend

This past weekend we filled the house at our Bend location for a night of live painting and good times with artist and ripper, Forest Bailey. With Forest's latest video project Frontside/Backside playing in the background and beer flowing courtesy of our friends at Boneyard, the stage was set for a perfect Friday night. Two blank snowboards provided by GNU served as the canvases for Forest's live painting demonstrations and were later raffled off along with a handful of outerwear from 686. At the end of the night, with 100% of the raffle proceeds going towards donation, we helped raise some $$$ for The Dillon Ojo Lifeline Foundation. We want to give a special thanks to Forest Bailey, GNU, 686, Boneyard, and everyone that came out to help make it a great night. 

It was a full house for First Friday Art Walk and Halloween weekend. 

Paint and beer were flowing all evening, Thank you Boneyard for quenching everyone's thirst.

AG pulled double duty as the evening's MC. 

The shop was rockin' as Forest put the final touches on the two Gnu snowboard that were up for raffle. 

Halloween weekend was in full force.

Lick the Cat member and raffle winner Spencer Schubert was there and went home with a hand-painted snowboard.

Forest was signing autographs all-night and this young ripper was stoked!

Tactics Bend alumni Ashlyn Pistey walked away with board #2 of the night.

Frontside/Backside was playing all night to give people a look into what Forest was up to all winter. 

Good times in Bend!
