An October art tour in Ybor City includes a chance to “Microdose”

That’s for anyone who walks in to Honey Gallery for a show that’s a cultural commentary on corporate branding.

“Microdose,” Effren Denson told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay, is a group show that meshes fashion and art.

The collection, he added, is grounded in work from artist Eito Ohashi, who started the Microdose clothing line (and an Instagram account that first posted not even a month ago). Denson said he was introduced to Ohashi by a mutual friend from Tallahassee Community College.

In the show opening at Honey Gallery Oct. 15 as part of the fall Ybor Arts Tour, a collective of local artists showcases work inspired by Microdose.

Along with Honey Gallery inside Kress Contemporary, Denson also owns the clothing line A Blowfly Joint.

“I thought it’d be dope to do a little show showcasing some of [Ohashi’s] designs and do a few T-shirts, limited edition T-shirts, and sell it at the show,” Denson said.

Denson describes Ohashi’s clothing line as a cultural commentary on harmful corporate branding that people would be generally familiar with.

Artists at the collective showing include Fary Charles, also known as Junkyrd; Tampa-based tattoo artist Suzy Rue; fine art photographer resident at Kress Contemporary and contemporary artist Alé Salamán.

“You got these corporations that spend all this money, millions and billions of dollars, on this powerful branding that promotes unhealthy habits, addiction, and in the case of cigarettes, even death,” Denson said. “So what he does is he takes these familiar logos, and he kind of flips them, and he flips them with the brand Microdose, and replacing that message, like construction, consumption, and destruction, and kind of splits it up into positivity, healing, creativity, and personal growth.”

There’s no cover to see “Microdose” inside Honey Gallery at Kress Contemporary as part of the fall Ybor Arts Tour happening Thursday, Oct. 15.
