John Fellows and Kris Fry have been working on some super fun stuff over the past two months… and it sounds like they are going to be cranking out work up until the day of the show. Kris dropped me a line and said they’ll have a healthy amount of silk screen posters, lino cuts, drawings, and even a tasty zine available this Saturday down at the Plastic Chapel on East Colfax for the reception of their collaborative show In Cahoots.
John and Kris are both super nice guys & really talented creatives… plus Dea & Dave from the Plastic Chapel are just plain rad!… Come out and show some of the nicest and talented people involved in the Denver art/design community some love!!!
In Cahoots : Plastic Chapel : May 10th : 7PM - 10PM : 3109 East Colfax Denver

Looks like record label Ghostly International and Adult Swim have hooked up to colloborate on Ghostly Swim. It’s a music compliation featuring artists From Ghostlys’ line up. You can download the entire album for free from the Ghostly Swim microsite!
Also make sure to check out the BoyCatBird trio who make an appearance in the double feature music video for Triple Chrome Dipped by Michna which blends into the Night Court track by Mux Mool. As always good stuff from the Ghostly crew!

I don’t know what I’m really about to write… I think I’ll make this stream of consciousness… As of this very moment I feel completely unmotivated. I can’t seem to solve the most simple problem on one design. An illustration. Thats all. I feel like this problem goes a little deeper than just this project, I don’t think that it has anything to do with… I don’t know, I think it might actually be because I’m inside, at home all fucking day, working, creating, thinking, reading. I usually do good with this but lately, it’s been kicking my ass. We were at the screening for Beautiful Losers the other day. It was an awesome documentary. Everyone who isn’t cool should go see it. I’ve seen Aaron Rose like 4 times around Minneapolis and yeah… We also went to Chris Johanson’s show at some gallery on Nicollet. It was odd. Kinda fun, but odd. Aaron, Chris & Jo were there, I wasn’t sure if they were tired or just sort of chillin. I think the art scene here is totally different than in Denver. It seems to be more of a thing for your friends and if you aren’t a homie you are sort of that weird person who nobody knows that showed up… I haven’t been able to feel totally involved in it yet, but I think it’s kind of uncomfortable still, to go. I feel like I need to draw more. Maybe that will help. I want more coffee, and can’t seem to enjoy much if any of my own music lately. I wonder if I’m dying…? No of course not. It’s all imaginary, it’s a subconscious excuse to be lazy… maybe it’s nothing. Shit. Ass-clown.. Thats a rad word. Well, I guess I’ll go make some more coffee and try to eat enough to go for longer on this whole creative spurt I’m not having. Poop.

I was cruising around Benny Gold’s blog a few weeks back and on there I stumbled across a link to Speakeasy on Broadway, a new clothing boutique here in Denver that carries his line… Along with a handful of other established and up and coming brands including: Crooks and Castles, Manik, Stussy, Mash, The Hundreds, In4mation…. Honestly the list just keeps going. Basically all the dope shit you see in vapors, juxtapoz, swindle, XLR8R, or on tasty design blogs just like this one!… You now have the opportunity to peep in real life, and unlike the internets…. You now have the chance to try some of that creative driven gear on. No more are the days of ordering an XXL that fits like mesh half shirt or vice versa, no more dropping your hard earned lootcakes an a herion chic XS and receiving a shirt that could double as a fucking tent!… all thanks to Speakeasy on Broadway!!!

OPEN SPACE gallery, founded by Sherbert Magazine’s Kalene Rivers and Daniel Weise, has asked 125 artists to donate custom-designed totes to bring awareness to the amount of plastic bags used every year in an average household.
The average family brings home 1,000 plastic bags every year. It is time for us to switch from a disposable society to one which reduces, reuses and recycles. This show will help spread the message that we care about our planet and do not want to just consume until there is nothing left. We are certain that we will all make a difference.
The bags will be on display and available to purchase at OPEN SPACE from April 12th thru May 3rd and will also be available for sale online.

Here is a peek at an identity / collateral project I’ve been working on for 3 Little Birds Salon in Denver. The project is just about ready for print with a few tweaks here and there. I was pumped to hear how excited the girls were for the final version and to see young people striking out to start a business that aims to support the community in a fresh and creative way (visually and in mission). Obviously some of that was up to me to interpret and execute but it ultimately comes down to their business and involvement in the community itself. They are still working on getting their site put together and will surely be adding this beautiful logo to the facade of the building soon. Make sure to swing by their studio and get a trim from one of their “scissor ninjas” when you have some time to spare.

It is official, I am now on board with Sevnthsin as a Sr Designer. I am totally stoked to work with these guys and have had my eye on them since my arrival here in MPLS in March. It should be a lot of fun and a great chance to collaborate with some super talented guys. My start date is thankfully set to mid May. It’ll give me a good chance to finish up some freelance projects and rearrange my schedule. By no means does this mean I won’t continue to pursue freelance. I would love to keep some side projects flowing… Make sure to check out their site and work. I think it’s rad!

So if anyone in the MPLS area reads this little thing we call our blog, make sure to swing by First Amendment Gallery tonight for “Whose Piss is This” and possibly Umber Studios for the Andy DuCett, Ric Stultz, & Michael Joseph Winslow show. We missed a couple good ones last night, but shit, we can’t be everywhere all of the time. We’ll make sure to get pics tonight to show all of the slack asses what they missed.
