A Whole Lotta News!

Wow, there is a TON going on right now for me. I feel a little overwhelmed but, on the other hand I'm really excited about it all. This one is going to be long, but it will also be totally awesome and radical.

New Places to Buy!
I just picked up two new stores that you can buy my artwork from. The first is in Capitol Hill, Seattle at Atlas Dream World Clothing - 206.3230960 1515 Broadway, Seattle WA 98122
atlas dream world. It is a really cool store that has been around for a really long time . I'm super stoked they liked my stuff enough to want to carry it. Check them out, I'm sure you will find a million awesome things there. The second place is in Austin Texas at the Lamar Whole Foods Market - 512.476.1206 - 525 N. Lamar Blvd. Austin, TX 78703 - wholefoodsmarket.com. My product will hit there Whole Body Department in about two weeks. Just in time before Stitch Craft show.

Lecture:
I recently was asked to give a lecture regarding "Why Go Green? Making the Business Case for Sustainable Fashion, Beauty and Lifestyle Brands." This will be at the Date: Thursday, October 25, 2007. Time: 6:30p-8:30p (out by 9p). Location: One Earth, One Design retail store 14300 Greenwood Ave. N, Suite A Seattle, WA 98133. It is going to be super fun, but I'm a little nervous about it.

Going ORGANIC!
This is a huge deal for me. As you know I do everything I can to be as green as possible when it comes to my business. My whole about page is chuck full of my production process and other green efforts. My next step which is already in the process is moving over to organic apparel. This is extremely important for all of us in regards to our planet's health and well being. All my older apparel is being phased out and replaced. You will notice a lot of change out on my product line in the months to come.

NEW ARTWORK!
I have a ton of new artwork, apparel choices and much, much more. Check out the pictures below for radical details.

Kick Ass Panther - Painted!

I was really happy with the panther illustration that I did. I decided I need to do something more with it so I painted it on to one of my walls in my house. It took me about 4.5 hours to finish. I'm pretty damn happy with it. Hope you enjoy it.

Robots, Chubby Self Drawing and Sacco & Vanzetti

a couple drawings from this week. A self drawing of my face that I made look really fat with tiny eyes, a little robot guy and some anarchist - sacco & vanzetti.

Panther - Ready To Fuck You UP!

I'm working on some artwork for my house. I just got done drawing this panther to paint on to one of my walls in my living room. It is going to fuck you up... don't even try "front-n" when you come over. WORD

Oh, that was my thug typing skills.

Bumbershoot 2007

Oh what fun I had! First and foremost, I wanted to thank Ben, Andrea, Kathern and Adam for all their help over the crazy three days. There is NOOOOOOOOO way I could have done it without them. I fucking love my friends!

Bumbershoot was amazing and fun this year. I had a great time meeting and talking to people. I was also able to lunch my organic shirts for the first time in public. Hearing everyone's reaction to how soft and incredible the fabric was very fulfilling.

I took some pictures of my booth, so here it was.

Partybots Apparel available @ Whole Foods Market!

Ready for some of the best news ever? A lot of you know I'm really in to doing what I can for our environment. This is a major part of my art process as well, to use everything and use materials that are not harmful.

There are now Six Whole Foods Market stores in Washington and Oregon that has picked up my artwork printed on Alternative Apparel's new Organic/Earth Friendly line! It is a great marriage between my eco-friendly printed methods, eco-friend apparel and a retailer who cares about the environment.

I'm very proud of this, and will encourage all of you to support it. If you would like to check out my work at Whole Foods Market, here are the six stores that are currently carrying my line. I hope to get in to more Whole Foods Markets in the future. So, if you live in another state make sure to start asking the store to carry my work so I may sell there as well.

the birds

ok, seriously. I need to stick to drawing like I keep telling myself. That way I will stay out of trouble... or whatever the fuck. Both of these have to do with birds. Well, one is my flippn the bird, and the other has more to do with Jazz Hands and some birds.

Screwed Again Comic

Frustration with trying to run a business, oh well. At least it made a semi-good comic project for me to work on today.

Velocipede - New Artwork - New Print!

Oh, here comes the "BONESHAKER!" Don't be worried about my little friend on his sweet, sweet Velocipede because he has one MEAN mustache. This mustache protects him from any harm that may come from riding on such a dangerous - iron made master piece. Pierre Lallement would be proud of both the french curly mustache and his invention. Did I mention that this is printed FRONT & BACK? Well it is, and that means that he is riding circles around you!

Today's Photo Shoot

This morning I went to this cool park close to my house to take some photos. These photos should be used fairly soon at a secret retailer that I will be announcing shortly. Hope you enjoy them!

Illustration of the Morning - Ho-Bots

Even in a world of metal, wire and microchips there is always a need for love and passion... well the paid kind I guess.

Illustration of the Night - Lama Action!

Lamas... in business suits - with an eye patch. That is a great combination. Thanks to my friend Jesse for the eye patch suggestion.

Robo Chimps - The Hotest Illustration of the day!

Oh snap. Chimps are pretty dang cute. Now, could you imagine that cuteness topped off with some cyborg action? Laser beam eyes, radio atteninas and arms made of pure titanium steel.
