Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

KidRobot just posted a press release on their Kronikle blog about this months Lovely Lowbrow Toy Show. The release featured my piece, alongside pieces by other artists in the show; Julia Bunn, Jeff Lamm, Jamie Suvak, Joshua Davis, Kate Budd, Sh!t Heap, and Jaron Tager. Also including the type-treatment I created for the show. So thrilled to see my piece up on this site.

Feature on French Paper Sample Room

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

My favorite paper company featured some of my work in their Sample Room today. French Paper has the absolute best lines of colored paper, and all ethically manufactured. They posted images of the sleeves I silkscreened for Giants’ “Old Stories” limited pressings on their Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green & Pop-Tone Blu Rasberry. Click HERE to see the feature.

The Lovely Lowbrow Toy Show

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

Here are some photos from tonights Lovely Lowbrow Toy Show, presented by Vivid Plastic. I made two custom MUNNYs. The first is a bear, where I re-positioned the ears using sculpy, which comes complete with a branch, and a suspended bee hive. For the second, (with the help of my dad and my friend Ray) I created a silicone mold of the MUNNY head, and then used the mold to cast the head in clear resin, with a brain inside. With the brain protruding out of the back of the head for clarity. A professional photographer is scheduled tomorrow to photograph each piece, so I’ll have better photos later.

Also, KidRobot did a feature of the show on their Kronikle blog, including the postcard art that Jeff and I made for the show. Awesome!

Davy Rudolph had some nice things to say about me

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

My old friend Davy runs a really great design blog, and after running into him with mewithoutYou this past weekend, he had some really nice things to say about me and my work. Davy and I go way back, when I used to do design for his band, like 7 years ago. Thanks for the kind words Davy, oh, and I’ll have some prints of my photos for sale in November!
