Wow... it has been a minute since my last update... I wish I could say it's because I

hell trying to get a huge pile of commissioned work knocked out, make travel
plans, and knock out a new t-shirt and sticker.

Here's that fancy new t-shirt / sticker design I mentioned above...

7-12-08... THE SLACKER UPDATE!

Sorry for the long wait with no new info.
Well... We have a TON of new stuff hitting the streets in the next couple of weeks...
A new 311 / SNOOP DOGG poster, a sick new WIDESPREAD PANIC poster, and 6 new
t-shirts! YES, I said SIX NEW T-SHIRTS to choose from! 2 designs are for the ladies on
some sweet tank tops and girlie tees, 1 design is for the munchkins terrorizing your
homes ( yes, your children! hahaha ), and the final 2 are good ole' t-shirts that fit
everybody! Hell, you can even squeeze on on the family dog if you want to!
Here's a little sneak peak...


New color for the skull print tee... these are on the new Tultex tees made to compete
with American Apparels regular t-shirts... but it has a tear away tag! I likie long time.
The gray ones are printed like this now too... much larger print and off the top of the
shirt... this is how they where supposed to be the first time... MUCH cooler!


Plus our insane leader, Mr. Tidwell,  will be on hand for verbal and physical abuse
at this years Pitchfork Music Festival / Flatstock in Chicago on July 19th and 20th.
He will have all of the new stuff for sale or shop lifting if you are really sneaky!

One last tidbit of info... it's a doozy for all you painters out there...
Tidwell has teamed up with MACK BRUSH COMPANY to design and produce a VERY
limited edition paint brush set... it's 6 brushes made for multi-media use.
They are basically the 6 brushes he uses to create almost everything on this site!
We will have 100 sets, signed and numbered... there are a total of only 288 sets
that will ever be made. Each set will come with a couple goodies all wrapped up in
a nice little package to make all of your friends wet their pants. The sets should be
out in a month or so and will be around the $35 mark... which is pretty damn cheap
for 6 first quality paint brushes... he must be going crazy again... or still!
Here's a little peak at the look of the brushes... they actually have little brass knux
printed on the handles... Hell Yeah!
This is just a computer mock up but you get the idea...


The label for the brush packs... again, it's a mock up...


More news coming soon, Trust us... you gotta take all this madness in small doses.

This is the first in a series of 6 pieces that we are doing together.
We will be doing a VERY small number of hand printed posters ( maybe 50 pieces )
that will be for sale individually or as a set. The single pieces will probably
cost around $50 each or only $200 for the set of 6 if you pre order.
More details on prices and availability coming soon. Some of them may also
become limited edition t-shirts... we'll have to see. Maybe that could come with the
pre order sets... hhhhmmmmmm, we're gonna have to think about that one.
p.s. We have already started on #2...
Enjoy,

CRAZY EYES TOY SCULPT 1.0

1-3-2007
Ok kids... you knew it would happen sooner or later... my first toy idea and my first time to use Sculpty... it's pretty fun.
I've wanted to do a toy for a while but just didn't know if I had anything to offer
that world... I think this is fun and simple enough.
The eyeball is about the size of a baseball... the idea is to have a little kit...
one eyeball, 2 hats, one arrow ( maybe ) and a set of wings... and I want to
make a little halo that would be suspended over his head on a little spring or
something.
Anyway... here's my virgin run at it...

1-17-2008 FIRST POST OF THE YEAR

So... it's 2008... we don't have jet cars, living sex robots, and tofu still taste like
cardboard... But we do have NEW Tidwell art crap for you to fill you world with! So get
your paypal finger ready for action, 'cause it's gonna be a crazy year!
First thing we should mention is that Mr. Tidwell has teamed up with one of the sickest
apparel companies on the planet ( maybe even some other planets too... ? ), the ever
popular BLACK HEARTS BRIGADE. Yep, and not only that... we have an exclusive limited
edition run of the first offering from this powerhouse team. Jeral has licensed his famed
NINE LIVES #1 to be plastered across the chest of all with the balls to wear it.
There are only 100 of these bad boys to be had so get 'em while you can. Jeral has
already taken like 10 of them so we had to lock him out of the studio just long enough
to post this message. This a ONE TIME printing so don't miss out.

Ok kids... for all of you who want to see a TON of Jeral's new paintings, shake his hand,
punch him in the face... whatever... we don't care, just don't break his drawing hand!
This is going to be one of the best shows Jeral has ever been involved with. He has
created about a dozen new paintings for the show and we seriously doubt any of them
will make it back to the studio, so don't miss out. Not to mention that there are 3 other
artist that actually have talent... you will kick yourself in the head if you miss this show.

Well, what can we say... Jeral has lost his damn mind just in time for HELL CITY TATTOO
FEST in Columbus, OH going on May 16, 17, and 18th. He's going to be there from
open to close each day of the fest. selling his art, books, and probably things we
shouldn't even know about! So if you ever had the desire to poke him with a stick or
kick him in the shin... here's your chance.
He also dropped a few new prints on us before he ran off screaming about how much
stuff he had to pack into his car before heading out... He really is insane sometimes!
So... we have a brand spankin' new CLUTCH poster that we'll have a SUPER limited
amount for sale after the concert, as usual... never before so stop asking! hahaha
He also just wrapped up new versions of some pieces that were pretty sick the first
time around and the new versions are even SICKER! See for you self... Yes, he has gone
a little crazy with the red, white, and silver on black paper... but can you blame him,
that combination kicks so much ass, even his art looks cool! Please don't tell him we
said that... ;-)
