The Great Washington Heron (Monument Removal Technician #2)




So, a few years back I made this super rad poster for Dinosaur Jr. At the time I wanted to republish it as an art print, and made plans to do so....and of course it went on the back burner. Finally got around to publishing it and it turned out great! There will be a series of these over the next few weeks. (#1 is the Buffalo from my Sonic Youth Poster from 2008) These are Monument Removal Technicians, creatures from my superfuture mythos that spins in my head. Beasts whose job it is to gather up the giant detritus of man and remanufacture and remount it somewhere else.

This guy is the Great Washington Heron, basically a Great Blue Heron evolved into a beast that moves the Washington Monument from location to location in perpetuity. The print is 4 colors, with 3 split fountains. (fancy print talk ) and is 18 x 24. S/N edition of 175. Up now in the store!

Last Sale of the year! 20% Off

I'm running one last promotion for the year- 20% off any order in the bigcartel shop- use the code "THANKS" when checking out to redeem!

Four Sticks Artist Editions




This is an artist's edition of the "Four Sticks" print. I was asked by the Flood Gallery of London to contribute a piece to the "Led Zeppelin 4 at 40" show, where 8 artists were tasked with creating a print based on one song from the epic LP.
The original edition was exclusively available through the gallery and was a run of 200. There are two artist editions: Safety Orange (Deep Gold) and Charcoal Brown paper. Gold Metallic Ink is used, 3 layers total. Signed and numbered edition of 100 and 50 respectively.
This was a really challenging piece for me to make. The power of the songs opening riffs, with the relentless rhythms from the entire band set the pace. Reading how Page and Co. took to creating the song as an abstract, I latched onto this as I’ve been making prints of semi-abstract landscapes recently. Taking imagery from the night, and the woods, the belly of an owl filled with a river in the English Countryside I hope I conveyed at least a part of what the song brings out emotionally.
These are now up in the shop.

Three Floyds XV Poster


I was hired by the most excellent folks at Three Floyd's Brewing to make a poster for their fifteenth anniversary party/beer release/day of rock music. They brewed up a combo of Dark beers from their own Dark Lord, Surly's Darkness, and brews from Mikkeller and Die Struise Brouwers. Music from the Melvins, Sweet Cobra, Municipal Waste, Young Widows, Gorch Fock and Sybaris. The poster is BIG, 24 x 24 inches, 3 colors with metallic Inks, featuring the ghost of a roman soldier enlivened by a deal with a wolf. Edition of 650, most of these were purchased by 3FFF, so here's your chance to nab one while I still have a few. Up in the shop, now!
