It's Always Sunny In

These fellas = Print Liberation. The sandwich = a metaphor. [ i highly recommend you read it ]

Print Liberation does tons-o-stuff involving silk-screening, typography, illustration, tees, and fun times [ there's more stuff, too ]. Im a sucker for anyone doing what they do while letting their personality skeet all over the work - always refreshing.

Check 'em for yourself H E R E.

...and it continues:
Gotta love the range. They also just recently opened up a flagship store. I'll be sure to solicit next time i'm down there.
...and for you phillie folks:

....im thinking about it.

c'mon - prizes WILL be awarded.

It Took Two

In april i was hit up by the brotherly duo directors TWiN to be a part of their Qdept Director Series.

Twas a cool idea: pic a couple of artists, send us their favorite songs, give us 30mins in front of a camera to illustrate a piece influenced by the music...then throw a party to display the film and the art.

fantastic.

check out my lil banger. i figured irreverence called for custom type, duh:

story tellers, these two.

T H A N K // Y O U

Hello Hello pwitty interweb people. I figured i'd momentarily step out of my cacoon to post about this fantastical happening.

So as you read above in my Craigslist post i lost one of my sketchbooks. About a week later i get this in the mail:

Yep, some good folks found my book AND mailed it to me! > Craigslist had nothing to do with it ]

Now i know that goofy 'If Found' stickers on stuff look ridiculous but as helmets do - they save lives.

So, here are some scans of the inside; ive attacked this one for about a year.
...and since i didnt expect to see this book again i quickly moved on to the next.

So far:
Thanks ___________ for being kind enough to return it to me. Im shooting karma pellets your way.

commence,
