May Update

So we have been extremely busy the past few months. The work just keeps coming, and we are also in the process of moving our studio space which is going very well. The last batch of posters we dropped went very well, and we are determined more than ever to keep it going. Here is the next batch of posters we have for sale. Details of each will be in the shop as usual(Link is in the top left corner of the blog). There will also be another nice drop of new posters at the beginning of next month.

2009

We brought in the new year in Iceland and it was beyond amazing. check the link if you would like to see photographs from our trip ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/iamedknight/sets/72157613491748379/ ). Anyways, we have started off 2009 with a bang, so far we have done album artwork for The Hard Lessons which includes cd/double gate fold vinyl, tshirt design/poster for Anathallo, and we have 7 more posters confirmed, and 2 pending. These will be the best gigs we have gotten to date, so be on the look out, we will be posting samples of them in the coming weeks for everyone to check out. More news coming shortly.

Traveling

We will be gone from December 27 - January 12. All posters that were ordered have been shipped, so any posters ordered while we are gone will be shipped when we return.

If you’re wondering where we are going, Iceland is our final destination. It’s always been a place i have wanted to go, and a few good friends invited us, so we couldn’t turn it down.

Have a great holiday.

Alan Scheurman

Picture 1.png

Our friend Alan Scheurman recently released his new album Old Patterns for free. Alan used to front the amazing detroit band known as Rescue who is still to this day one of our favorite local bands. This album is different from Rescue, but it is still very good and we recommend that you go download this. We did the artwork for the album, as of now it is all digital, but there will be posters and possibly a few other things for it soon. The rest of the artwork will be up on his site shortly. We posted a track below, listen and then go download it.

New Stuff!

Thanks to everyone that came out to the shadow art fair yesterday. We had a blast and there was so many cool vendors. We were pretty surprised the turnout was as big as it was due to the terrible weather. We seen at least 8 accidents on the way there and i’m not exaggerating at all. We can’t thank everyone enough for all the support especially the people that keep coming back and buying posters and hanging out at the art shows. It’s really an incredible feeling.

We have another art fair on december 19th, more details coming soon on that. Also, since we are on the subject of art fairs, be sure to check out the bar bazaar on december 12th. Our friends in Handmade Detroit will be there selling awesome christmas gifts so be sure to go check them out. (http://www.handmadedetroit.com/)

And last but not least, we will have some new posters for sale beginning tomorrow evening, so check back tomorrow!

Thanks!
