Hey kids,
It’s been a busy summer in the silkscreen studio, and finally I can share some of the work I’ve been producing. There’s a mess of new stuff to peruse on the shop page: the collaborative book by Mister Jim Winters and myself, Queen for Two Weeks, numbered and signed and packed up pretty in a cellophane wrapper. The super-tall-and super-fifties Sutro Tower screenprint. The longer-than tall Lake Merritt (featuring the also-longer-than-tall Lake Merritt Monster). There is also a photograph of an attractive young man modeling the t-shirt design (it looks just like the Sutro Tower print) I did for therethere.

Dear Friends Who Are Wearing Sweaters,
I’d like to cordially invite you all to my very first Studio Sale at the new silkscreen studio (*Inky Oxnard) in West Oakland. I’ve invited some amazingly cool (and talented!) friends to join me: Isabel Samaras, Dave Warnke, Jim Winters, and Lloyd Dangle.
This is going to be EPIC, people.
The sparkly wonderland of gifts that will await your arrival: screenprints at ridiculously low prices, lovingly printed teeshirts, framed pieces, a few pieces on wood from Super Furry Animals, landscapes, Squirrel Plates, stickers, books, paintings on canvas, wood, and cardboard. There will be gifts to fit every budget. We will make it worth your while, people. PLUS there will be snacks. Oh, yes. You read that right. Snacks.
This is Inky, welcoming you to the studio. Go ahead, have some hooch! If he had arms, he’d hug you. Inky’s had a hard year.
Isabel Samaras is bringing:
* Collector Porcelain Plates (think Hamilton Mint but much, much cooler) of the image “Nutz!”, both signed/numbered limited editions and “seconds” with slight damages at huuuuge discount!
* Fabulous books and postcard books that can be signed and personalized! (Including: “On Tender Hooks“, “Isabel Samaras Postcards” and “Devil Babe’s Big Book of Fun!”)
* Limited edition signed and numbered jigsaw puzzles!
* Signed button sets!
Jim Winters will be selling his stunning silk screened landscape prints:
Dave Warnke is hard at work on some goofy gumdrop paintings. Yes. You can have one. Don’t eat it.
Lloyd Dangle is a master of all things comic:
And here’s a print you might like. These things will be priced to MOVE, people.
Have we enticed you? Will you turn away from Facebook long enough to come visit and have some cider? It will be hard, I know, but I have confidence in YOU!

Hello Friendlies,
I got a phone call from the fine folks at Camelbak a few days back. They had a box of samples to mail to me. I was expecting to see more Pirates or Mermaids, but it was a box full of a new Dog-Style Winter Design called Blue Wonderland!
This was a design I completed back in March of 2009, so it was a pleasant surprise to see the finished bottles.
I did a little bit more digging, and found that all the bottle designs I did for Camelbak are available through the lovely folks at Amazon.
Here’s a link to the small kid’s bottles (the pirate, mermaids, and zinnias styles are mine – also available in stainless steel) and here’s a link to the Blue Wonderland bottle.
‘Blue Wonderland’ sounds like a delicious beverage you might enjoy while having a staring contest with a tiki. Nearby, there might be a tiki torch, or even a ukelele. A pufferfish might be sitting on the barstool next to you. This particular Blue Wonderland was inspired by the fact that we dog owners have to take our dogs out to … do their … business. Even in snow.
Here’s how the whole design looks.
Here’s the pirates and mermaids.
Hi friendlies,
the portfolio page has been updated with a bunch of new images from all the work from 2009. There’s work from the 2010 calendar in there, but be sure to scroll down to see the work we did for Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker, Monks of Doom, the Developmental Studies Center, Barnes and Noble, the Driveway Follies, and Cisco.
2010 started off with a BANG. We’re already hard at work on the follow up to my kid’s book A Curious Collection of Cats (provisionally entitled “A Dazzling Display of Dogs“) as well as a cool (and truly bizarre) collaboration with Jim Winters for a print show called Songs in Reverse. Stay tuned for images. At the very moment, I’m working on a spot for PC World Magazine. Speaking of magazines, if you get Via Magazine, you’ll see our work gracing their pages as well.
Happy New Year. We deserve it.

Hello friendlies,
the 2010 calendars are nearly here! I’m really excited about these. Julie and I worked really hard on the images and design, and gave a lot of thought to each month’s image. They’ll be up in the shop soon: I’m going to ask for a nominal amount to help with postage. Take a gander (you can see the whole set here), and Happy New Year!
EDIT: *D’OH!* Turns out that January 1 was a Friday, not a Thursday. The rest of the months are just fine. Sorry for any inconvenience.
