Spellcheck

Just finished a new flyer for our show on Friday. I like how it turned out, despite numerous setbacks. Firstly, two bands dropped, including my headliner, so I sort of feel silly putting them up around town. Also, I made a really really really stupid mistake. Always doublecheck your spelling, kids. This was my first time using a stabilo pencil to make my positives. I really like the texture it created. 4 color screenprint on 11ish x 17ish french paper.

Anyway, here is the correct version:


the original...


and the final, updated version...


Can you catch my stupid mistake?

The Armchairs

Just printed these posters for my friends in the Armchairs, regarding their show at Johnny Brenda's in a week. Three colors, edition of fifty(the stars are supposed to glow in the dark). The venue is supposed to flyer for the show, so I'm curious where the posters will end up. If you see any around, let me know!

Sketch

Here's a sketch I was working on for an upcoming show at our house. The speech bubbles are going to contain the supporting acts, but that still needs to be finalized. Hopefully, soon, because I'm excited to start printing again. Or rather, printing my own things.

I scanned the whole page so everyone can see all my personal notations and suggestions and revisions. Kind of thought someone might find it interesting. I have bizarre work habits. I don't really document my process enough, so it will be neat to compare my final print with this original sketch.

Dillo

Yesterday my friend Brad and I picked up some of the necessary pieces to start building our own exposure unit. Operation: Print Shop is under way. Tomorrow we're going back to Harleysville to pick up some power tools and get some delicious wings.

I drew this guy tonight. I think I want to start drawing more animals again. Reminds me of being seven...

These are from last May, but with the Phillies clinching their third consecutive NL East title, it seems like an appropriate time to post 'em.

Overdue

I figured I'd update with something old and something new.

My roommate is publishing a book for one of his professors and he asked if I could do a cover for him. The book is titled "Life in a Horse Opera". This is from the beginning of the summer.


Sire is participating in the Philadelphia Open Studio Tours and I was asked if I could draw a quick comic for the occasion. Guests will come and get to screenprint their own poster, add their own dialogue and color it in. If you're free, come stop by on October 4th. Sire is located at the Cedar St studios at Cedar and Allegheny.

Nose Go Toy Release at Jinxed

Sorry for the lack of updates, internet, but we just got the web in our new place.

I was asked to do a custom version of Nose's vinyl toy for it's release show at the new Jinxed the other week. The show was awesome, as was the turnout. I wish I grabbed some pictures of the opening, but here are a few pictures of my version:






In other news, things at Sire Press have been going well. If you're looking to get dvds or cds pressed, check them out! Put in my name as the discount code to get a discount! I've also been helping my friend, Greg Pizzoli, with his screenprinting class at Uarts. It's been great so far. He recently curated a show at Space 1026 this past month that was incredible. Over 400 Seripop poster. It should still be up, so if you haven't... Check it out!!
