Most of our faithful fans know that we here at EK do what we do simply for the love of Art. And if you don't know, now you know. We originally started our site to share our love of Art with the world, but it grew quickly from a fun side project to an intense, all-consuming labor of love, and now, we have been blessed with this beautiful baby whose life it is our job to nurture and grow in a positive, impactful way. Our dream is to be a 90/10 company, meaning we donate 90% of our company's net income and keep only 10%. Take a moment to think about how retardedly difficult that sounds. There isn't a businessman in the world who'd invest in a business plan like that.

Empty Kingdom & the Hope Campaign are proud to announce our official partnership in support of ReCREATE: ATX, a fundraiser and all-day art event at SXSW!  The Hope Outdoor Gallery is one of the nation's largest outdoor art galleries, a place for local artists to share their work, focused on positive and educational messages.  What began with Shepard Fairey's mammoth Obey record album poster series has flourished into one of the most beautiful destinations in Austin.    But to be ready for the public, the walls need your help first!

Dear You, It's Valentines day today. For some fans, this hallmark holiday passes without a second glance. For others, it is a day that serves as an in-your-face reminder about how alone and lonely they are.

EK is looking for you! (image credit: Brooke Golightly) Yes, it is true -we are opening up another round of call for collaborators, and you just might fit the bill.

Empty Kingdom is excited to announce a new sub-publication, our official e-zine.. a newsletter about art and culture and life.. and tons of other fabulous things. It's going to be more fun than a barrel of monkeys and more interesting than the Dos XX man, (well maybe not, considering he has his own wikipage and EK doesn't yet.)

Hello beautiful people of Austin, TX. We are Empty Kingdom and we have our eyes on you. At Empty Kingdom our mission is to reach out and strengthen the communities of artists, galleries, organizers, and art supporters. And because Texas is one of the top three states in our visitors queue, we decided to bring our first ever Empty Kingdom Labs project straight to Austin!  We got one word for you.   SXSW.

EK Studios is proud to present a new video we produced to promote a group show thrown by Cassel Gallery  featuring our good friend Lucien Shapiro, Henry Lewis, Lango Olivera, and Charlie O'Hanlaon.

Reconstruction is the debut film of Danish filmmaker, Christoffer Boe. It's all an experiment. An experiment in love that leaves quite a bittersweet taste in your mouth after.   Twitch Film has a nice interview with him here.

(Photo by: Matteo Larghi) Hi, nice to see your face again... how are you?  It has been a while, hasn't it?  Feels like a lifetime since we last touched... and not being in your arms has caused us unbearable pain.  But after enduring a period of seemingly infinite agony, we are finally. together. again.

(Art by: Nam June Paik, 1932 - 2006) In tribute and in honor of the fallen, EMPTY KINGDOM presents The Mausoleum. For the cherished and admired artists who have passed on, we offer them a special place within our empty kingdom to ensure their immortality.
