One week of MUTINY!

I’m so ECSTATIC, yo!  Myself and LTDtee have teamed up to make Mutiny of the Flesh shirts!!  They each come in custom boxes, with the artwork printed on the top, as well as an 8×10 print, all for the terribly reasonable price of $26.99.  They are only available for THIS WEEK ONLY (ending August 1st)!  So, if you digg em’, please pop over to the site and scoop one up!

They have also posted some SHWEET free Mutiny wallpapers in a variety of sizes!

I have a terribly itchy case of SDCC’s.

I am sure many of you secretly (or openly) resent me for my horrendous lack of consistency, but just know that deep down in my heart, I truly don’t care.

I will be at San Diego Comic Con hocking my wares, and waving my arms enthusiastically.  I would love nothing more then to see your faces, and wave my arms in them!

YES, YOU! YOUR FACE. (pointing)

Here’s my schedule (SLG Booth):

Thursday – Saturday: 2:30pm-4:00pm & 5:30pm-7:00pm

Sunday – 2:00pm-3:00pm

So, come say hello!  We can wave our arms enthusiastically together.

ALSO:

I have completed a super-fance-town, two color (black and turquoise) print , entitled “Mutiny of the Flesh”.  This was hand screen-printed, by me, with much love, sweat and cursing in the 105 degree heat of Los Angeles.  It was screened onto my most very favorite paper, a super-heavy, translucent, almost plastic-like, 75lbs cover weight vellum.  I have been completely obsessed with this shit for ages.

Size: 13.75 x 19.5 inches

Each print will also be accompanied by two matching buttons!  See image BELOW…

I will be bringing these along with my to SDCC, but if you’d like me to set one aside for you, they’re up in my etsy shop, just for yew!

Secret sidenote: If you are all into, around and up in this design, LTDtee.com is going to be creating “Mutiny of the Flesh” shirts for a limited week-long-run!  I’ll tell you more when they become available… SHHHH!!!

This one goes out to all my bitches.

Welp, I’m not going to deny the fact that it has been a while….  but you know, sometimes shit goes down, and life hands you fist-loads of dookie, with shards of candy poking out of its sides.  I have received a grip of emails over the last several months, from people either questioning wether I had died and my ghost has simply been updating my twitter account, or outright DEMANDING that I update my site.  I can’t help but feel simultaneously flattered and horribly irritated (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE).

Anyhow, this is for you.  I felt it a bizarrely appropriate afterthought that I update my blog on Easter (despite being of Jewish descent).  Like Jesus, today my corpse rises from the pastel-colored celestial Egg of Rebirth, to don my magical Armor of Peeps, and mount the Giant Bunny of Salvation, to cleanse the souls of the damned with my candy-lasers of cleanliness.

BZZZZZTT!!  BZZZZZZZOWWW!  BZZZZZZZZTTT!!!

Okay, you’re clean.

So, here’s the poop.  Thanks to the full-time jobbery and work-hardery, I saved enough funds to erect a proper screen printing lab!  We ain’t talking a kiddie set up, neither.  Kinks are in the process of getting smoothed, and it should be in full swing by the end of the month.  I’m hoping to put up a site that is strictly print-related, with my small operation going by the name “Robber Fly Prints”, but also working in conjunction with PaperDevil, another upcoming print site.  I will not only be producing my own super-fancy items, but also working collaboratively with other artists to make awesome collab-printsets and other print-media available to you lovely peeps.

I have much on the table at the moment, but I will be snapping photos and documenting it along the way to share with yous.  Expect upcoming print-posts, showing all who don’t know, the process of what goes into a single print.

So dats it, doods.  I have handed you the poop.  I hope to be posting more consistently, but if I do happen to disappear, please don’t yell at me.

Infectious squid-board: A REAL THING! FOR REALS!

How exciting!!  My board has been made into a true, physical thing!!  They are currently for purchase at Infectious, for $59.99 a piece (as they are being produced in a very limited run).  Please scoop one of these lil’ doods up while they’re still available!  When I receive mine, I will surely take photos at slap ‘em up here, in yo’ face!

PS:  There is also an interview section over at the Infectious site…  where they…  yuhknow…  interviewed me, and I answered questions.  With my fists.

Is_Anyone_There

DOLLOP.

I had this lil’ stuffed doods at SDCC, but sold out of them almost instantaneously!  I will be making some more, but as I have no photo documentation of the physical lil’ guys, here is the original drawing they done sprang from…

The second they are available again, I’ll be sure to post a linky!

IMPENDING SDCC…

tenseshadow

Hello, mine kindela.  I know it has been all too long, as I have been recieving messages informing me that I have passed away or simply given up on all of you.  Not true!  Life has simply served me up a steaming pile of crap, causing me to quiet down for a wee bit, but only in the end making me more powerful.

SDCC!  Time now to don your favorite sweat-stained Storm Trooper costume, and break out the wieners…  it’s that time again!!  San Diego Comic Con is in a few days, and I will be there.  I will be there bathing in the stench of fellow geeks, and rubbing myself down with jars of antibacterial-juice in order to keep myself relatively sanitary.  Relatively.

Please come by the SLG booth, and say “hello!” as I will be signing solo part-time, and would love gaze upon your smiling faces.  I promise that I am quite friendly.

Here’s how the signing schedule gonna go:

  • Thursday:  Jhonen and myself – 2:30-4:00pm and 5:30-7:30pm
  • Friday: Just me – 11:30am-1:00pm, Jhonen and I – 5:30-7:30pm
  • Saturday:  Just me – 12:30-2:00pm, Jhonen and I – 5:30-7:30pm
  • Sunday:  Just me – 10:00-11:00pm, Jhonen and I – 3:30-5:00pm

I look forward to seeing you there!!!

PS:  Above are a few hand-painted soopuh-mini prints I will be selling at SDCC!  Each are 1.5×2.5 inches, hand-cut, hand-printed (gocco) on wood, and come in matching wax envelopes!  TEENSY-TOWN!!!  Each are lovingly handmade by yours truly.

PSS:  I will be posting other bits ünd bobs that I’ll be bringing to SDCC in the upcoming days!

Got Decked, yo.

I know, I know…  I have really been slacking on the posts, now get off my leg.

Actually, I was zooming from LA to Chicago and back again, to visit peepsies.  However, I am back now and hope to be avidly tossing shit up here for you pipples to look at, to remind yourselves “Wait, why did I come here?”.

Anyway, decks.  I am by no means a person who skates board and I am certainly not coordinated enough to even stand on an unmoving board with no wheels, but I do have a fondness for decks on an aesthetic level.  As a result, I’ve decided to design a few myself…

Finished this one today!

I’m going to attempt to get these printed up, produced as a limited edition of physical boards and eventually available for purchase! I’m hoping they come out well!

Do you know the onion man?

onion4

So, I’ve been silk-screening, and painting on fabric…  with the hopes, and intent of sewing up lil’ stuffed toys.

Well, success!  I’ve made me an angry lil’ onion man.  The process still needs a bit of tweaking, and he’s a bit raw, but I will soon be making little friends to sell in my etsy shop!  You too can have your very own crudely, hand-made buddy…  constructed out of PURE CUNCH LOVE.

PURE.

CUNCH.

LOVE.

YUH-HEAR?

Re-coup.

Hello, boys and girls!  I’m on the fast-track to better-health-town, and felt it would be a fine time for an update.

Firstly, there have been two recent mentions of my Momento Mori printset, one at Creep Machine, and the other at OMGposters.com!  How exciting is that!?  I am absolutely tickled!

mortality2

If you recall the sketch for “Today I Felt My Mortality”, I’ve cobbled it into a subtle-toned, 50-edition gocco print!  The print itself is 8.5×10, and is on saucy black cardstock.  I say subtle because it is partly a black on black print, so the background can only be seen when the black ink is hitting the light a certain way.  For the main image:  white, metallic gold, and grey oil-based inks.  I’m quite pleased with how it came out, but quite frankly, it is a bitch to photograph, so I feel that the jpegs aren’t doing the actual print much justice…  poo.  It’ll be up in my etsy shop today, for $40.

Also available in dur etsy shop tonight…  affordable buttons!

Dum DUM DUUUUUUM!!!!

Well, it’s finally happened…  All of you have been terribly patient.

My etsy shop is FINALLY up and running!  I will be periodically adding new items to it, most of which are handmade.  I apologize that it took as long as it did mine kinderlekh, but you know how life can get in the way, and trip you up.  Anyway, pop by, take a gander, and keep checking for updates.  I’ll post new additions to the shop both here, and on dur twittor.

Wooo!!

Here is one of the lil’ buttons from the “Living Dead Love” set #1.

mortalityHere’s a blue pencil sketch for an upcoming print I’m working on.  Take a gander, perhaps?

Hurl.

hurlbrown

Here is the straight ink for a print that I am working on, that I have lovingly entitled “Hurl”.  Don’t ask what is coming out of her mouth.  No, really.  Don’t ask.  This should be all printed up gocco-style, on wood paper in the next few days!  Woo hoo!  I will toss up a followup post with images of dur finished product.
