CUAS showPOD Pilsen Storefront Collaboration with Pete Skvara

The Chicago Urban Arts Society asked me to participate in their Pop-Up Storefront Gallery project here in the Pilsen Area of Chicago. Because of the budget restrains I invited Pete Skvara to the table. We took a couple evenings and a bunch of salvaged materials from over the years and made it happen. The result is a twenty-by-ten foot installation. Cost of supplies to create and install the installation… zero dollars. Between Pete and I and our hoarder habits, we had enough material to freak out at just about any size without going broke. Here is a link to the flickr set of process and final photos.

Kitsune Noir Desktop Wallpaper Project Contribution

Hooked up with Bobby at Kitsune Noir and did a graphic for his Desktop Wallpaper Project. Above is the outcome. Wanted to do something a little different so I added a color fade that can be achieved by rotating background images. Download the background and get more info at the Kitsune Noir post.

Life Long Work Week Poster




Life Long Work Week Storefront Sayings Poster

Here is the big collaborative poster that Jesse Brown and I did during our Life Long Work Week residency at Renegade Handmade here in Chicago. Purchase here.

Analog Print

Letterpressed Analog Poster

Another poster printed while at Hamilton Woodtype Museum. This run of ten was done on a show card press which gave me the ability to ink the forms once and print the entire run with each poster getting a lighter ink hit than the one previous (print one-of-ten being the darkest). Most letterpress prints are priced pretty high so to keep the cost down the posters is printed on text weight pink paper so it is easier to transport and keep shipping costs at a minimum. Folded and shipped flat directly to all you handmade nerds, letterpress lovers, and record collectors. Purchase here.
