So, what's new?

Well, I'm about to start working on a new website. I just put almost everything in the store on sale (like 50% off on sale) and added my latest pieces to it as well. I've got a big project in the works, I'll share more when it's a sure thing. I just took down the Halloween decorations. So sad. Oh well, have to make way for the Satanic manger scene. AH ha hahaha ha (evile laughter) hahaha ha!

Alkaline Trio design retrospect looms near on the horizon!

So, one of the best things that ever happened to me was falling in with a few fellows way back when. It led me around the world many times, to a career in design, to countless awesome friends and to my husband. If someone told me that any of those things would have happened when I was selling their demo tape at the Fireside Bowl in 1997 I'd most likely not have believed it. Anyways, it's been 15 years of working with them, although it's not been like work, hanging with my best friends all over the place on tour for 10 years was by far the best way to spend my 20's. The only thing that makes the 15 years seem like a plausible timeframe are the heaps of designs I'm staring down in front of me. Over 100 xeroxed, sharpie, glue sticked monsters! Anyhow, I'm finally doing something with them, they've been in a folder forever but come October 7th they're going up in an installation at Johalla Projects in Chicago. The show includes a book of all the designs, prints of 10 of the most favorite designs of the band and I and the installation of the originals. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I have!

Supernatural? Perhaps!

This is happening whether you're ready or not...and chances you can't ever really be, but don't let it stop you from treating yourself to the brutalizing visuals we've cooked up for you in our respective underground lairs. xo

New shirts coming soon my pretties!

I've got two shows planned so far, so psyched for both. First, "Supernatural? Perhaps." will be a deathly duo of epic proportions! I'm doing this split show with pal, ripper, radster Steak Mtn at POVevolving gallery in Los Angeles this July. Work will consist of his righteous right on drawings and my dreamscape lady obsession collages in this vein...
We also have plans to collaborate on a limited edition something or other and also to turn the back room of the gallery into an all encompassing abyss of the work for the many bands we've both done commercial work for including sketches, originals, works in progress etc.
Then in October I'm planning a limited edition retrospective book of ALL the Alkaline Trio designs I've done over the past 15 years which will coincide with the band's 15 year anniversary. The release/exhibit of the original art for all of the shirts, records, flyers, posters,and such will be at the Johalla Project gallery in Chicago. Hopefully I can find all that stuff, it's a xerox copy mountain of red and black nightmares right now but I hope to turn it into something a little more presentable for posterity. Wish me luck!
