Watch for another show comin' up the following week starring another band from the cities and some other legendary shit.

In Progress, Lord Green?

Decided to revive some unfinished work and prep it for another possible print job. Lookin' towards Lord Green's direction for this one. They came by and enjoyed a heavy Thankstaking with everyone still lurking in Duluth. Ryan and I prepared a meal to satisfy any indulger.

Forgot to mention there are a few photos of the Glensheen Luxury Experience posters. Click the photo to get to the flickr!

Look for an online store just in time for the holidays!

DudeLife Winter Tour '09–'10

This 12"x20" monstrostiality is going to be on Poptone Black French Paper and the first to come out of my new home base—ment. Expect an edition of 50 or so 90% of which will be going on tour with the bands. I will have VERY FEW of these myself so go to one of their shows or contact them if you're interested in a print. Otherwise, I might have one or two.

High Life and Dude Nukem will be on tour next month so check them out if they're in town. Dates on the poster and on their myspace pages. Don't let the fleshless flesh eaters bite.

Early Peek at 2009 Poster

A sneak of the 2009: A Beer Odyssey print that's in the works. After a bunch of bullshit delays I'm slowly pushing out the artwork. I need to take a nap. I'll try and be done with it tomorrow morning. Printing in time is going to be hell.

Oil Paint

Also,



I saw Skoal Kodiak at Heliotrope. One of the best shows ever. Unfortunately, no good photos. Check them out!

The bands were great at Heliotrope. Moonstone and Vampire Hands both had outstanding sets. It seemed something was up with Knife World, but they're still one of my favorites. I hope to hear more from them now that there's a bassist.

Josh Journey-Heinz + Jacob Stoltz produced a great poster for this years Heliotrope.

The Return of the 'Saurs - "Pizza Warz"

Here's an incompleted drawing that was turned into a flier for a recent joint themed birthday party for me and Maygun. This should make it to a screen print along with a series of supportive work. I'll spend the next year drawing dinos and other cool things.



The dinosaurs were relocated 65.5 million years ago by a space faring race when the Earth suffered an asteroid impact. While Earth's habitability returned for the now ruling hominids, the dinosaurs have had plenty of time to advance their own kind under the protection of their saviors, the Anodytes. A recent survey of the human planet by those outside our scope attracted the attention of a group of vicious mechanical beings that inhabit space. A long time enemy of many galactic peace keeping forces, the protectors of the universe have taken action to keep us from extinction, or rather, extermination.

It is now the beginning of the Pizza Warz. Life on Earth has taken the brunt of conflict and the dinosaurs have come back from their original refuge planet Dinoxia. Stand your ground! We shall fight together, resist the encroaching forces of the Atropi, and experience space outside our star system.

Also, here's a photo of the print from the planetarium show that I did not put up yet.

Space Jam UMD Planetarium Show!

Just finished a gig poster for an upcoming show here at UMD.

If you're in the area please come join us for an awesome show at the university's own planetarium! We'll enjoy a star show tuned to some excellent space rock. We encourage you to make a $5 donation. Bring a little extra money if you're interested in getting a copy of the poster. Let's hope for future shows like this and thanks to the bands making the trip from the cities to frigid Duluth.

So, You Wanna Start a Webcomic?

"yeah so me and my friends are starting up our own webcomic so we where wondering do you like need any licenses to do so" - internet kid (Penny Arcade Forums: Artist's Corner)

I'm such a jerk.

Happy Christmas!

I hope all is well for you! I had a pleasant holiday and have acquired the proper funding to start some real screen printing at home. I can't wait!

Here is a secret santa gift I did recently. In it is the main character of a very interestingly beautiful game called Braid. I suggest trying it out this very powerful classic platform game. What I found even more enjoyable is the Art of Braid you can find on David Hellman's blog.

Keep it real.

Games of Hopelessness

I don't think I was ever meant to win Risk. My odds at rolling the numbers necessary to advance or hold ground are somehow lower. Maybe I'll get the right roll next time.

Cyan vs. Magenta vs. Yellow

I've been thinking a lot about the use of color in society. So I started brainstorming about how I could display a variety of color primaries and systems. This is an example of subtractive color, for example, common household printers right now use cyan, magenta, and yellow inks to make a limited range of colors. I chose to leave black ink out of this for a couple of reasons.

I'd like to expand on the concept of personifying color by doing a few pieces based on additive color(lights), munsell's color system (principle hues red, yellow, green, blue, purple), opponent process (white vs black, red vs green, yellow vs blue), and something based on textiles(bleach). I'll see how far I get!
