1-29-10 THAI SKULL PRINT RELEASE AND SURGERY UPDATE

FINALLY!!! The THAI SKULL are here and ready to ship...
they are HUGE and BEAUTIFUL! Now available in the "Art Prints" section.
See for yourself...


Surgery update:
Jeral had surgery yesterday and all went well, unfortunately he will have to have
a major surgery in a couple months where they have to re-break his right wrist
and kind of start over... good thing he is a tough lil bastard. The Dr. says the
re-break will set everything exactly where it should be and finalize the repairs.
We'll keep you all posted.

1-19-10 NEW SHIRTS, STICKERS, AND GERMANY!

Yep, You read correctly... we have new shirts and stickers! And yes, Jeral is headed to WALZ HARDCORE CYCLES' open house on Jan. 24th in Hockenheim, Germany. If you
are near Hockenheim, go by and kick Jeral in the shin for leaving all of us here in
the frozen Mid-west.
Now back to the new t-shirts and stickers... Check 'em out in the store... good stuff.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I am SO very thankful to be here making this post... after an AMAZING year that almost
had a tragic ending, I am truly blessed. I hope you all have the best year ever in 2010.
Here is my first offering... it has been on hold during my recovery but it is almost done.
The ink is finished and I'm working on the colors now so the prints should be up soon.
I want to say again, Thanks for such a Great year and all of your support.
Enjoy,
Jeral

12-12-09 ART NERDS INVADE ZURICH SWITZERLAND

The poster says it all... Seriously, just look at it and feel it's POWER!
Posters designed by ANGRYBLUE because he is truly the master artist of the bunch
and deserves much praise for putting up with DWITT and TIDWELL.
This is going be a HUGE event so if you can come, it will be a night that you will not
soon forget... unless of course you have a really good therapist.

12-12-09 NEW ART PRINTS AND T-SHIRTS

We thought we'd throw some new goodies out here to let you know what Tidwell has
been up to. Here's his latest art print that SOLD OUT in one hour which
is Amazing to say the least... Thanks to all who bought it. As you have read below,
Jeral has been recovering from a life changing accident and these are his first 2
pieces of art since his wrists where re-constructed. There are no words to express
how happy we are to have him back in the saddle and we know he truly does
appreciate all of the support you all have given him... Thanks from all of us.
The new t-shirts should be available next week. The skull and helmet drawing was
the last entry in Jeral's sketch book just 2 days before the crash so he has really
wanted to finish it and get it out on the streets. It is a perfect piece to come back with
since it is a bit prophetic considering what happened just after it was made.
Not to mention... is it pretty BAD ASS if we may say so ourselves. There will also be
stickers with this image coming real soon.
Enjoy

GOOD NEWS FOR JERAL BAD NEWS FOR YOUR EYES 11-11-09

I'm back! Yes, it is true... the art madness that is my life is on it's way to a full and completely demented recovery. My doctor has finally given me the go ahead to start trying to draw and paint again. I also have permission to drive my car so watch out if you live in my town!
I have been sketching for a few days now, no inking or painting yet but I plan to tackle
those real soon. I will upload some of the post-reconstruction sketches and hope to
have a new art print out by the end of the month, I just have to see what I can do within the limited range of motion and the large amounts of pain. I also hope to post the x-rays of my wrists with all the metal plates and screws that I now have living in my arms... they are pretty cool looking.
Also, I plan on having my t-shirts back on line in time for all holiday orders so check back soon.
Thanks to everyone who has helped me get through this life altering event...
I truly do appreciate you all.

Update

Despite not having much strength in his fingers, Jeral has started figuring out some sign language and has a message for drunk assholes on the roads.



surgery went better than expected and the recovery time should be a lot less dramatic than we previously thought! We'll see how long it takes for him to start uglying up the world again.

Thank you for the kind messages and also the orders to help out while he's not able to grift per usual.

"I don't know what to do with my hands"

Jeral has been involved in a motorcycle accident with a careless drunk driver. In-turn, he has broken both of his wrists pretty severely. Other than that, the rest of him is as ugly as it ever was. He will not be able to do any new art for a few months, but we will still be getting poster and book orders out for him. If it takes a few extra days to get your orders, please be patient. There will be a lot of juggling happening to get everything taken care of.

However, none of the juggling will be done by him.

If you urgently need to reach him, you can still email him and I'll be spying through all of his stuff, but please refrain from the usual desperate emails requesting hand-jobs. You'll just have to wait it out.

Thank you for your understanding and patience,
Justin Kamerer/Angryblue.com

Yep... I'm back!
This time it's gonna make a LOT of you happy... you all asked for it, here it is:
Angryblue and I have made a new INK ALCHEMY book... Over 40 pages of the latest and sickest illustrations from both of us. The books have a 3 color screen printed cover with aged parchment pages. Limited edition of only 650 books. Signed by both of us.
The first 100 orders will get 2 small screened art prints and a pile of stickers... after the prints are gone it's just a bad ass book and a pile of stickers, so it is still a killer deal.
Justin and I will both have a dozen or so variant cover books ( the orange is mixed with some yellow and kinda cool looking ) that we will be listing with special deals in the
near future.
Available in the store's "BOOKS" section

update... 7-10-9

You guys and gals had to know that I wouldn't stay silent long...
The new 3 piece paint brush set came in today!!!!
They are:
- " FIVE SPEED " - Which is a larger version of the " SLIM" from the original
set. The five speed is basically a #5 script / scroll brush as the slim was basically a #3 or so.

-"HEAVY" - Which is a larger version of the "LIL BIT MORE" ... it's a little longer and
fatter so it has a ton of uses... seriously.

-"ONE-LINER" - This is a completely new brush... it is Amazing for outlining, details, med. to long lines within an illustration.
Before, I was using the MACK Virus #1 but wanted to make it a little different and change the handle shape to fit better in the hand.
You will LOVE this brush.

new art to post soon... we just have to get everything from him to put on here... we may
need some rope to get him held down long enough to pry the info out of him. hahaha

We want to Thank all of you for making the paint brush sets such a success and let you
know that the 100 signed and numbered sets are wiped out! We do have plenty of
the exact same sets that are signed but not numbered. Hopefully these will last through

while he can. ;-)
