Here’s a closer look at the new zine.

Lifer 2012 is a collection of 50+ Illustrations and photographs from the first part of the year as well as some older things that haven’t been printed until now.

It has an edition of 40 copies, and will not be reprinted after those 40 are gone.

Every order comes with one of two super limited 5x7 prints, a button, a sticker, and it’s all bound together with a wax seal.

Psyched on how these turned out. There are only 30 left, so go pick one up!

Half of these are gone!

I just made these prints, and they are up in my store. Each one is 4”x4” and printed with archival inks on fine art paper. This print has an edition of 25 and costs $6, you can get them by clicking the photo or clicking here.
Thanks!

So I decided to make some shirts (my first shirt not for a band). I’ve had this illustration of my ferret Rufus hanging around for awhile, but it’s been in print limbo since its creation. It’s finally getting printed, and I’m really stoked on it.
It’s a two color print on Tultex 100% cotton jersey shirts (which are really soft and comfortable). They are available now for $12 in my store. Check it out if you can!

So I’ve finally gotten everything ready for my print set release. For this project, I hand drew every capital letter of the Akzidenz Grotesk Bold family, as well as the numbers and some symbols. The goal for me was to get more acquainted with a font that I already love very much. I wanted to examine the curves of the letterforms in a more intimate way (sounds gross, oh well), and add a personal touch to them.

Some people expressed interest in buying individual prints of the letters, so I just put up the whole series in my web store. They are available in two options:

Option 1 (click to buy): You can buy the prints individually for $3. Each print in this series has an edition of ten, and will not be reprinted in this form. Once they are gone, they are gone.

Option 2 (click to buy): You can buy the whole series of prints for $30. The entire print series has an edition of five, and will not be reprinted in this form. Each print series comes with a brief artist statement, as well as a bonus print that is not included with the individual print orders.

All orders come in a manila envelope sealed with wax, because that shit is pretty cool.

I’m really happy with how this project came out, reblog if you can!
