Back from Chicago
Well, I got back into town yesterday after spending the weekend in Chicago for Flatstock 13 at the Pitchfork Festival. Had a great time hanging out with everybody and look forward to doing it again next year. For people that don't know, Pitchfork is a yearly music festival with this years lineup including Slint, Gza, Sonic Youth, Cat Power, Mastodon, De La Soul, and wait for it....wait for it....Yoko Ono. Flatstock is a gathering of rock poster artists from all over the country and happens multiple times a year. The poster scene is very tight and I always walk away super inspired and anxious to get back to work, which is good because things kind of piled up a little while I was getting my stuff ready for this past weekend. Here's some pictures from the Flatstock portion of the fest taken by Daniel Danger....check em out....

Flatstock Chicago, Royal Flush, new site, and more
I've been shitty lately as far as updating this thing, but some things of note lately -
- I'll be attending Flatstock13/Pitchfork Festival this year and sharing a booth with my fellow Daytonites, F'nHarsh Design. Last year was a blast despite the upper 90 degree heat, and the lineup for this years Pitchfork Festival is gonna rule. My friend Julie has already informed me that she has two bottles of Jameson's on the ready and considering I have no tolerance whatsoever, I'm sure some hilarity will ensue.
- The new issue of Royal Flush has finally arrived! I just received my complimentary artist copies today and it is quite a sight to behold. Be sure and pick up your copy through the Gigposters classifieds or through the official site.

" Royal Flush is a NYC-based underground Music & Arts Magazine. Founded in 2001, Royal Flush regularly features the finest artists in underground comics, the talents of many top writers, photographers, illustrators and interviews with bands both legendary and obscure. You can't lose with a Royal Flush! For fans of Mad Magazine, Spin, Juxtapoz and Creem.
Royal Flush Magazine is available all over this great country and even in some remote parts outside U.S. borders. Look for us in Borders Books, Barnes & Noble's, Tower Records, Virgin Megastores, Newbury Comics, and many other independent record and comic shops.
We've featured hundreds of pages of underground comics, music, film & DVD, and games reviews, politics, fashion, art and youth/street graphitti culture."
Also, over the next couple weeks I'm going to work on a redesign for my site...it's served it's purpose over the past year, but I think I need to make it more focused and streamlined...sometimes, more isn't necessarily better I guess is what I'm saying. So be on the look out.
And finally here's a logo I just finished up for my friend Jason Vorhese. It's a little bit looser style them I'm used to, but after a couple tight pieces that really tested my patience, it was nice to have a little fun....next on the old docket - a new car for Mattel, gigposters for Jucifer, The Black Crowes, and Aerosmith, and some movie monster paintings for a show in July....stay tuned
