THE POSTER PRINTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE!!!!

The design is now up and it will be made available to purchase via paypal, for $30. A paypal store will be posted on the Broken Press page and will link to a paypal account. We are only printing 25-30 of them, so it's on a first come basis. The 19" x 25" posters are a collaboration between Andy Crenshaw (Broken Press) and myself (sAnTos).

The proceeds from the sale of the prints will go to TREEHOUSE FOR KIDS of Seattle (www.treehouseforkids.org). Treehouse is a group of concerned educators/social workers that help out foster kids in Seattle. The program involves such things as tutors and after school programs. Specifically, the proceeds will be going to fund the Meany Middle School program.

The image is posted in my "my photos" folder and on the Broken Press pages photos.

They will be shipped out the 1st week of January (due to holiday mail delivery being insane this time of year).

Hemingway band/press photos

Poster for upcoming Earth/Grails show in Seattle at Chop Suey. 19"x25", 3 colors on 80lb. French paper.

Both the recent Sunn O))) poster on metal and Boris poster are now sold out. I do still have copies of the paper version of the Sunn O))) available for $25 (w/ s&h). Also, the Burial Chamber Trio poster is close to sold out, the remaining copies are $35 (w/ s&h).

Final screened version of the Sunn O))) tour poster. 22"x26 1/2" .008 gauge metal sheets.

POSTERS:
First off, I've had a bunch of inquiries about the availability of the Sunn 0))) tour poster. I will be bringing most of the edition to the shows for the band to sell. After the tour I will sell any remaining copies through this here page and gigposters.com. I'm only printing an edition of 50 copies. These are on 22" x26 1/2" .008 gauge sheets of metal. They look epic. That said these will probably move pretty fast. I will put up a notice once they are gone. I will however start accepting orders as of November 4th.
Secondly, I have a small batch of the recent Boris/Damon & Naomi poster left. Those are $25(w/ S&H). 3 colors on 80lb. French Butcher White, 20"x26".
As of Monday Burial Chamber Trio posters will also be available. This was a collaboration w/ Santos. These will be $25(w/ S&H). 19"x25" 2 colors on 80lb. French Black. Edition of 65.
Until I get off my ass and put an actual store up and/or build a real webpage I accept paypal @ broken_press@yahoo.com

RELEASES:
All of this design work and screen printing has sort of lead to the beginnings of a label. As it stands I am releasing small run cd's and cassettes. Below is a list of current and upcoming releases.
Hemingway - "Depressing Foreign Movies" cassette. BP003. 100 copies. $6(w/ S&H)
Helms Alee - 4 song cd. BP004. This is the cd version of the one-sided 12" Rome Plow records is releasing. 250 copies in an elaborate screen printed custom made package.
Hemingway - "A Second Thin Skin" cd. BP005. 100 copies. 75 will be available through myself and the band. the other 25 copies will be used for promotion. These will come packaged in custom made picture frames....more on that later. Should see the light of day by December.
Hemingway/Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive To Death split cassette. BP006. 100 copies.I'm really excited about this. I think this will be a great pairing of 2 very different bands. This should hopefully come out in late December early January.
Sparkle Girl/Hemingway split cd. BP007. 100 copies

Draft of the layout for a limited tour cd Lesbian will be bringing on their upcoming East Coast tour. The covers will be screened on vellum so you will see a ghost image of the outside of the booklet. I believe these will be limited to 100 copies.























19x25 2 colors on Black 80lb. French paper. This was the first of hopefully many collaborations with Santos.

For those who actually look at this and care there will be a very small run of these on paper with these colors. Additionally I will be printing a full edition on sheets of metal with slightly modified colors.

Lots of good stuff coming up...screenprints for: Burial Chamber Trio, Boris, These Arms Are Snakes and super special Sunn 0))) posters. I also have a bunch of cd layouts I will post soon for Battlefields, Hemingway and Lesbian. Stay Tuned.

There are far too many good shows coming up in the next couple of months. I will be making an edition of 50 of the Boris poster.

So once again far too much time has past since I've updated this. However, this is not without good reason. I've been working away on tons of posters, t-shirts and layouts. I have also been preparing for Flatstock which will be taking place this weeekend at Seattle Center as a part of Bumbershoot, I'm am very excited to be apart of this. I will be posting a bunch of new work next week.

It may seem like I've disappeared...however it has only been a temporary thing. I've decided to crawl back out into the blog world. I've been working endlessly on a handful of designs for Helms Alee. More later on my happenings of late though...
Below: 4 panel 3 color screen printed cd to be released by Broken Press next Month.
7" layout for their upcoming release on Hydra Head.

I'm really stoked to print these. They will tentatively be an edition of 75 @ 26"X16" on 100lb. French paper. I will also be unleashing a series of prints soon based on the concept of this poster, more on that later. Also, I have copies left of the Unsane poster. They're $20 w/ s&h.

some sort of vacation(if you can call it that) lingers on the horizon...until then, here's some more easy street posters.

a little illustration help as always from one Demian Johnston.

Who needs time off...

So Broken Press is evolving slightly and I will be using my resources to start releasing small run releases. In the coming months I will be putting out multiple releases for Hemingway including a split cd with local noise duo Sparkle Girl. I'm also excited to announce a 500 copy release of the first recordings from Helms Alee.

Easy Street Records in West Seattle has started doing after hours shows on the weekends and they have hired me to design all the posters for those shows.

Small run tape I'm releasing for Hemingway. Illustrations by D. Johnston. These will be available in 2 weeks for their show on May 11th. I will have a handful available for mailorder. I also have a couple Earth posters left for $20 w/ s&h.
