Poketo and Booooooom teamed up to create a series of wallets known as the Afterlife Series, and I was asked to take part – which is flattering, because they both promote some seriously awesome creative stuff.
You can buy the wallets for $20 each, knowing they will hold your mad stacks of bills in the most cool of fashions. Super damn cool. Really cool.
The fine chaps at Pop Echo Records needed a T-shirt design. They weren’t totally sure what they wanted but knew that they liked the idea of an Ice Pegasus duking it out with a Fire Dragon. I was instantly sold on the idea.
The shirt isn’t out yet, but will be soon. It’s fresh stock for the upcoming Biannual Royal Bison Art + Craft Fair (which I’ve been known to help the great Raymond Biesinger organize) and will be happening this year on November 28th + 29th. If you’re a local Edmontonian with goods to sell, be it art prints, clothes, zines, music, etc. etc., you should apply. Genevieve and I have been there for the past four, and use it as a gateway to release our International Beauty Saloon zines, along with other silly wares, which I’m sure I’ve mentioned many times before…
I think the design was pretty cool, with the whole big snow demon face / fight scene dual image thing going on. It was to be in relation to the Angry Interns page, and I think it suits the ‘aesthetic attitude’ pretty well. I tried to have it formatted to fit as a full frontal T-shirt print. Colour was never added, but it probably would have been had the image been approved.

But alas, it never came to be. Word on the street was that HQ needed to approve of it and that was the last I heard. Nothing ever came of it, though I sort of wish it did, as I think it could look ultra cool on anyone’s shirt. But I am biased.
Maybe I should just print it myself. Is there demand out there?
