So thanks to Seattle's inability to handle snow without freaking out my new band's (Shining Ones) first show was cancelled. Which is not the greatest start for a project. So our would be second show (which will now be our first show) should hopefully occur Saturday January 10th @ the Rendezvous, pending no natural disaster's or extreme weather decide to take over Seattle that day too. This will be a one off show for Salt Lake City's mighty Eagle Twin. We also got asked to play an awesome show at the end of January that we're pretty excited about...

I've been working at a new musical endeavor with Dan from Lesbian. We're going to be playing our first show this Thursday at the Rendezvous in Seattle along with Hemingway, This Blinding Light(feat. mem. of Hypatia Lake) and Sparkle Girl. It should be an awesome show.

I have finally setup a proper webstore! I will be posting more posters over the next few days along with some mono/test prints and mystery tube deals...keep your eyes peeled.
It also looks like all of the Hemingway spilt release that have been in the works forever will finally be seeing the light of day very soon...

God of Shamisen "Dragon String Attack" CD layout art.

I just updated the store on the broken press myspace page with some new and recent prints that are now available.
Upcoming: Watain North American tour poster w/ WeAreTheRobots, Kayo Dot Seattle poster, Nachtmystium/Wolves In The Throne Room Iowa City,IA poster, Corrupted/Asunder Seattle poster.

The guys in Akimbo were kind enough to ask me to design a poster for their upcoming 10 year anniversary & Jersey Shores record release show this coming Saturday. Harvestman (Steve Von Till of Neurosis) and Helms Alee will also be playing. It should be a great show.

This coming weekend House of Low Culture, Mamiffer and Hemingway will be playing in both Portland and Seattle. I would highly suggest checking these shows out.

The Kasner prints are now up and for sale on the Upperplayground web store along with some other amazing pieces from the other artists in the Catalyst show.

some shots from the Catalyst opening last night...

Below is the final version of the screenprint of Stephen Kasner's "Khlyst 1" painting. All color separations and printing were handled by myself. Now it's off to the cutter tomorrow morning and then to be shipped down to Stephen to sign/number.
