Primonition

Jason Pasch and I designed a hot sauce label for a Louisiana Hot Sauce company, Primos Peppers. The labels came back from the printer today and they look awesome! You can't really tell from the photos, but some parts have metallic foil on it to give it that "spooky" vibe. It's a green sauce, but its really hot! CONGRATS!

THANK YOU for coming out for El Camino!

Thank you for coming out for the El Camino show. The opening reception was really great, and I got an opportunity to connect with all sorts of great folks, many of whom actually bought art! Again, Thank you!

You are invited to "EL CAMINO" on Saturday September 8th

This is why we make sketches...

Just finished the run of Dominion's Evil Dead the Musical. It was a good show all around. It is especially satisfying to have the first sketch be so very close to the final product...in fact, it's downright spooky...

America The Game Show F*ck Yeah! Photos

This blog has not been feeling the love of late. Really all blogs seem to have the same problem. I have a "blog reader" that would collect all of the blog posts from blogs I followed, and I created a folder of "DC Art Blogs" that were just blogs of artists I knew. A few years back, there would be new posts available to be read every day. Now, most of the two dozen blogs in that folder are completely dormant. So, I feel less bad about infrequently posting because the whole world seems to be posting less.

I have also been trapped in a weird logic loop with Google concerning the domain name of this blog. So, I figured I might as well post something to keep things alive while I iron things out with big brother G.

Over the summer Astro Pop Events hosted the inaugural America the Game Show F*ck Yeah! It was a huge success, and we are looking forward to next year already!

Please enjoy some photos from this years show:
