Probably one of my favorite black comedies, Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb was directed and produced by Stanley Kubrick in 1964. The hand-drawn titles by Pablo Ferro are beautifully done and really set the tone for the rest of the film. I’m going for a bit more minimal aesthetic in my work these days and the films opening credits illustrate that to a “T”.

Wanted to share a small selection from a larger group of Sheet Music images I dug up recently on the internets. Content ranges from propaganda to racist, prohibition, space, expositions (forerunner of the World’s Fair), etc.

Tomorrow heralds the release (well, the 2nd of July is really) of my and A-Trak’s Grateful Bear toy w/ Kid Robot. We’ll be signing the Grateful Bear toy at the Kid Robot NY (Soho) location and to celebrate this event we’re teaming up w/ our Trouble & Bass homies for the afterparty! FREE w/ rsvp: (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). See below images for all info!

I’ve made all the canvas and print artwork from my recent show Best of the Beast available for purchase on my website. Also, on July 11th a selection of works from the BOTB NYC show will be displayed at the Commonwealth gallery in Norfolk, Virginia and we’ll be producing a t-shirt for the event available only at the Commonwealth store/gallery and online shop. See flyer below for details, updates shortly.

Here’s a shitty camera phone pic of the Grateful Bear toy I created w/ A-Trak and Kid Robot. In-store signing info below, better pics coming soon!

In October I’ll commemorate the 12th year that’s passed since my father left this earth. I usually ignore Father’s day completely but today just felt right to make mention and share this photo of me and my pops. Appreciate what you have before it’s gone..

Found this old KLF mail-order ad whilst poking around the web, love the illustration style. For more info on The KLF, click here.

This Saturday, the 13th of June, my homie Joe from Crest Hardware (on the corner of Lorimer & Metropolitan Ave) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is throwing a benefit for Macri Park (that little triangle park right by the BQE on Union/Metropolitan/Meeker) to rebuild it as well as hosting an art show IN the hardware store. There will be live bands, DJ’s, food, drinks, and of course, art! Check the quick poster I did for the events below and learn more about it here.

Reza took a photo of my homie Frog right before he punched this kid in the face at a house party sometime last week. The details are somewhat hazy but I found the photo to be rather striking (pardon the pun).

It’s been two long fucking years in the making but I’m proud to announce the release of my first vinyl toy along w/ DJ A-Trak and Kid Robot. I drew this colorful creature about 4-5 years ago and I haven’t been able to shake him since. The official drop date is July 2nd, we’ll be having an in-store signing July 1st at Kid Robot’s NYC location. More info about that and photos of the bear, his accessories, and packaging coming shortly..
