6-4-09 THREE PIECE BRUSH SET

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.
Available in the "Other Junk" section of the store

4-16-09 THE "HOLY SHIZZLE IT'S BEEN A WHILE" UPDATE

Ok kids... this is a pretty big update.
I've been slackin' on the news but not the art so I think it's a fair trade... right!
So, new gig posters, art prints, skateboard, and a fresh run of t-shirts!
Let's do this...
Here is the latest colab with LANDYACHTZ skateboard co. in British Columbia...
these kids are totally sick in the head and I love 'em! The built deck is mine so
don't even ask. In order to stick to the ole' school feel, I ordered a set of flo green rails, a tail skid and nose skid! It's the deck I wish I had in 1984!
You can get your very own at www.landyachtz.com. They also have a sick longboard
with one of my designs on it.

 
To stick to the skateboard theme... the latest art print. There are only 100 of these
so don't sleep on it!



The latest gig poster set... FALL OUT BOY! Nothing else needs to be said.
This is a 2 poster set, signed and numbered to match... I left them as an
uncut sheet so the numbers don't get mixed up but there is a line down
the middle if you want to cut them apart for framing or whatever.
They will be available on 4-23-09 but there will only be 30 sets for sale
so don't think too long or you will miss these!



Last but not least... we have placed an order for a fresh run of Quality and Value
t-shirts... they should be in early next week.

NINE LIVES 4 and 5! Hot off the press...
Both are limited edition of 100 signed and numbered art prints.

WOW! We have a lot to be thankful for these days... Stop and think about all the
AMAZING people you have in your life... That alone is reason enough to be thankful.

Well, As far as news goes... Jeral has been working his ass off so we will have a TON of
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
the holiday season, so if Santa needs to pick up a set or two, he needs to get them
while he can. ;-)

We will have new posters, art prints, t-shirts, stickers, and of course paintings up soon
so keep us in your favorites list... you won't regret it!
Here is one of the new paintings... The Holy Virgin Mother of Hot Rods! Painted on
a copper and brass, junked radiator... about 40inches tall...

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.
