Sticky tack is not where it's at.

Jesjit and his fortress of visual delights.

One of Steph D's hot airbrushed t-shirts (so awesome that someone greedily stole this one right off the wall!).

ZINE DREAM.

A few peeks at DW's table from Zine Dream this past weekend. This was my first zine/art fair experience and I was happy to see that my cat inspired paper goods got nicely fondled. Cats are total sluts.

It was an interesting learning experience for sure. I wish I would have had more cash to pick up all the amazing goods people had at their tables! There are some awesome art makers in this city - holy smokes.

Blowing Smoke!

TGB - Treading Water/Blowing Smoke EP - Popsick Records.
4 colours on white cardstock.

These packages came unassembled which was SO great for printing!

Good lookin' poster for the event by Jesjit.

Has Anyone Ever Called You A Ham And Egger?

A couple pictures from a recent road trip to Pittsburgh.

Lovely yellow bridges.

PNC Park is a beautiful place to see a ballgame. Even when your team gets burned.

Fried chicken for breakfast is where it's at.

A Ticket To Ride.

This weekend was for poster printing!
6 colours on nice mustardy paper.

The poster for this show was designed to go with the CD which is being released (despite being completely different colours). Bring on the cohesiveness!

You've Got Air Mail.

Despite being nervous about printing on a glossy surface for the first time, these CD packages turned out exactly as I hoped they would! YES.

A Thing Of Beauty.

(Found via Oh Joy).

I really like this! A LOT.

All Hands On Deck!

Just finished designing this CD for We Take Lovers. One of my loveliest lady friends is in this band, so it's a total pleasure on my part to be involved. Soon it'll be time for the screen printing. Glossy white cardboard packages, ahoy!

A piece of something else I've been working on . . . .

Dehydration Station.

Spent another Saturday in the studio. It's fitting that the distortion pedal I've been borrowing (pictured above) is called Jekyll and Hyde, as the recent hot weather has me feeling some . . . seasonal duality of character - ha!

Question: Can anyone really drink 8 glasses of water a day? I perpetually fail this hydration standard, badly! I wonder how many people I know truly achieve this level of healthy internal wetness.

Web crush: these modified vintage ceramics by Esther Coombs (via Poppytalk). Pretty!

Sleepytown Day One.

Sleepytown Studio is great.
Polaroids are fun.

School Is IN.

Chalkboard paint in all its organizational glory, man.

1992.

Self Portrait, 1992.
I still look pretty much like this.
