Amazing band, be sure to check them out live if you have a chance. We have been really busy the past couple months, if you would like to see some new things please check our store, we have a ton of new prints available there. We attended the Pitchfork Music Festival where we participated in Flatstock 21. This was our first Flatstock and we had so much fun. Everyone was really cool, and we met a ton of awesome people that follow us on the internet. We will be back in Chicago for the Renegade Craft Fair, so if you missed us at Flatstock, be sure to come check us out at Renegade. We are working on a real website, so please be patient, it is coming. Along with a revamped blog. If you would like to see the new Fleet Foxes posters please find us on facebook, and become a fan. We also just joined twitter not too long ago, so stay up to date with things we have going on there as well. Thank you all.

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.

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!
