BRETT ARMORY AND DAVE SINGLEY: THE NEW ABG ARTISTS
Posted on 29. May, 2009 by ART BATTERY GROUP in THE ART HEADS SPEAK OUT
We are excited and really happy to welcome Brett Amory and Dave Singley as new Art Battery Group Artists. Brett is based in San Francisco, CA and Dave currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
Our collective is now formed by 15 artists and hopefully growing soon, with more talented emerging artists that believe our online home can help them to promote their work and to find new ways to collaborate with other artists.
As a team we look forward for the opportunity to create more spaces to ignite this creative spark and generate good and productive discussion about emerging art.
Cheers!

Dave Singley lurks in BK and remembers his life while getting wrapped up in tons of art for art’s sake projects.
He left UC Santa Cruz as a painter in 2003 with a wealth of new mon frères to call friends and collaborators. Many ventures were launched as a result, but most failed to penetrate the stratosphere, with the exception of some of the group shows in California that represented DS and friends as FUN ARTISTS. He continues to work from the mean streets of the East Coast with the Lubin Brothers on Famous Class, a music collective that is welcoming Nurturer to it’s family. Nurturer is taking up a lot of space in my head says DS about his 2 piece band with the Woodman. The Woodman is also helping to co – pilot the newest loose structure collective called Tons Of Sons, a home for the wild ideas of DS and his mon frères.
