Keepin Time
My friend Anna hooked me up with this site with amazing clocks. This one is my favorite and will be on my wall in the near future. 28 bones, get one HERE
SEDUCTIVE ESPIONAGE
Kevin Dart has put his time in on some amazing illustrations featuring his Le Femme character Yuki 7. It has a storyboard of 60′s Bond themes and all things spy related. The art work is amazing in its ruff appearance and has fine attention to an era of chic fashion/architecture/interior design. I’m inspired whenever i look at his work and will be adding some of his prints to my collection soon. Find out more about KD ->HERE<-
Mad Rad
Not sure if you remember, but we posted a little while ago about a duo called Fresh Espresso. Well, our good friend, P Smoov (half of that duo), is involved with another group that’s killing the scene here in Seattle. Seems like someone’s got the “Midas touch”. This group just recently played at the Sasquatch! Music Festival and word on the street is that they sold more CD’s then all the other artists there. Shout out to Smoov and the rest of his group Mad Rad. They’re on the front page of Seattle Weekly and have a nice little 5 page write up. Read it by clicking here. We see you fellas!
Latest Works
I love doing poster design and i’ve had the pleasure of doing some lately.
First is the official tour poster for Garage Voice, Noah & Abby Gundersen, and Tom Rorem. Ben Blood took the snap in the tour poster at one of my favorite Sea-town joints Bauhaus. The vision of the poster was to emmulate Wes Andersen in character and composition. I found Futura was the font he uses on all his films and had to add it in a Life Aquatic kinda way. Voila!
Second is a poster for a folk rock night at the Q Cafe including some great tunes from some northwest kids. Our good friend Tony Kevin asked me to do a poster for it so i started thinking of old hatch print techniques and type then proceeded to use 2 colors in case there was a budget for them to be screen printed. I really hope they get screened, t’would be d’lish.
Third is me playin’ around with a northwest theme to attach to the Garage Voice name, mountains, the purple gloom of rainy clouds, the compass needle pointing to the northwest, and trees making the initials for GV. I should have thrown in a Subaru, Birkenstocks, anything REI, and a Trader Joe’s bag!
Big Time
Ok, just kidding. But there is a website that’s pretty dope and it will put your photos on different backdrops. It’s called PhotoFunia. Check it out!
Vintage Bicycle Posters
My friend Aaron hooked me up with this site that has old prints of bicycle companies/events and they be d’lish! You can just get the print or for additional cost get them framed thru the same site. I like just looking at these prints and the legacy that they embody. I’m really engaged by the fixed gear scene and all the creative differences that flow out from each individual kid. I frequent Fixed Gallery and dream of Le Grand Cru doing something cycle related in the future. What I like about these prints is that they remind me of the legacy that was before the fixie kids and i hope that subtle things like a poster will somehow bring some honor into the scene. I’m done preaching. Check the site out HERE!
Art of Nature
Bryan Nash Gill is genius. He has taken what nature does best and reveals its innerworkings on print. I love this so so much. Here are some snaps of the process and some some close ups of the print above. If you have 4,000 dollars waiting for such a fine piece of art to spruce up your collection you can purchase a print HERE. HA! I just used the word spruce for this blog, such a pun! ENJOY

Portraits
Vasava has some sweet illustration goodness coming out of their studio and here are some portraits of NY folk for your viewing pleasure! It reminds me of something Stubborn Sideburn would do, its like digital meets Tokyo pop. See more of their great work <HERE>.
