RECORD STORE DAY 2010

For Record Store Day this year, the incredibly talented AXE AND THE OAK invited me to make some vrrrry special, vrrrrrry limited edition album covers. They wanted something super simple with a little bit of a throwback feel, so we came to an agreement on the final design, BUT to make it extra special, I decided to handmake each one! They are an addition of 50 and each one is hand stamped and hand embossed, front and back, with a rubber stamp that I had custom made from the original artwork. It was soooo much fun to make and, though each has its own small imperfections, they came out pretty dope. And I have to say that doing something handmade really fits this band...they are perfectionists in both the studio and onstage. The minimal look also fits them because, well, thats just their steez...I can't really explain it. Anyway...here are some photos and if you want to see them live for the release, they'll be playing at RADIOACTIVE RECORDS in FT. LAUDERDALE tonight!!! go support good music and snazzy design

STUNT MONTH AFTER MONTH

a few months back i was approached by SF company, StunneroftheMonth.com, to do a poster for their press kit. Its a pretty dope idea for a company: you pay for a (very affordable) monthly subscription, and each month they send you a new pair of "stunners" so you can look like you're super cool! Stunners are sunglasses. And the subscriptions can be short or long, and even given as gifts. So yeah...this is the poster. I really am happy with it and have been waiting to get it in for awhile now, because I was dying to post it. I actually drew it from a friend's facebook photo which is always weird....like, "hey....I swear I'm not like, obsessed with you or anything, but are you cool with the fact that I have searched through all of your fb pics and found this one that I want to draw???" Alright, so maybe its not quite that weird because I actually looked through everyones fb photos for some reference of fun loving, sunglassed coolkids, but you know what I mean... anyway, they are for sale at my webstore, so checcccccck it out!

HELLO PROJECT LUUUV

THE HELLO PROJECT is a super rad social collaboration site that encourages love, fwends, and overall benevolence...which i am super into! I did a little post for them earlier this year and they recently shouted out my Kidrobot show on their twitter, blog, facebook, etc. That was so super cool, so I am returning the luuuuuv. Check out their site and submit some happy greetings!!! its so much fun!
