I’ve just received an e-mail from the fine frenchmen running Delkographik

above: a group of frenchmen and women enjoying my print with Grolsch in hand (sponsored Grolsch, that is). Success!

edit: Wow. 100th post. Sweet.

My submitted image is above, dealing with the plight of having a face that endlessly transforms. The torment!

Where are you from? is a poster show being put on by good pal, and designustrator, Gabe Wong, along with around 15-20 other artists revolving around the idea of, well, where we all come from.  It opens September 4th at The ARTery, here in Edmonton. Each artist has been asked to make an image in poster-form that relates to the theme of the show, where  do we come from?

SO, I drew from a memory where I was driving my father’s truck at the tender age of 5 or so, sans seatbealt, with my dad smoking 10 sorts of cigarettes at once.  Sure, I was only sitting at the wheel for a mere few seconds, but the memory really stuck. It also struck a chord about a childhood where the duty of discovery, exploration, and most importantly, danger, are placed upon the shoulders of the child his or herself (maybe with the slightest amount of ‘adult supervision’). The poster is titled “Are we dead yet?”, alluding to the classic childhood roadtrip saying “Are we there yet?”, but with a good disregard for safety and well-being: two ingredients for a good time, something that seems to be slowly disappearing in today’s overexposed Facebooked, GPS’d, cell-phone saturated culture…

The poster is a 2 colour screen-print with only 12 copies printed in total, measuring 50cm x 70cm. If they don’t sell out at the show (most likely)  I’ll throw them online for your purchasing pleasure!

Also up for purchase on the site are Genevieve’s lovely posters she made for The Breeders (as seen below).

Happening tonight at the ARTLIFE Gallery in Calgary is the Sled Island Music Festival Poster Show. Every year a select number of artists are asked to design posters for some of the festival’s “bigger” acts, and this year I was lucky enough to be asked to do the posters for one of my favourite bands of recent times, Liars.

These are three colour serigraph prints made by hand by yours truly. These are printed on lovely 15″x 20″ Stonehenge paper. Sexy!

Liars’ first show is an early evening show on the 26th of June, where they play at about 8pm at an outdoor venue, thus the orange sunset / hue in the print. The next night they play a more “all ages” show, on the 27th at 1 am, therefore a night scene. Each of the posters come in editions of only 50. I will be at both Liars shows with these posters for sale. They will be going for $20 a pop! If you can’t make it to the concerts themselves, go to the ARTlife gallery tonight and scoop one up. They are selling at the gallery for $30 per print, and they only have 5 of each, so there’s a chance that they won’t last long!

Now that the Royal Bison is done and over with, it’s time to unveil the new stock at the International Beauty Saloon Store.

Firstly, the brand new issue of our IBS zine, IBS3. It is more than twice as thick, and is jam packed with great content from about 11 contributors. It’s going for the same low price as it always has… $5 plus shipping.

I also made a few prints. One being this 2 colour Horse Coq print seen below…
