T-Shirt Designs for Sam Goodwill

Sam Goodwill is an artist on Wild Kindness Records and he's coming out with a new album this year. For the release of his new album he's asked a handful of artists/designers to create some shirt designs for him. I am one of those artists and above are the designs that I created for one of his shirts. He still has to pick one so it's not clear which one of these will become a reality, but I thought that I'd share them with you until then. Enjoy!

Adlib Comic & Polish Hill Arts Festival

So I'm programming a comic and bookmaking workshop during the Polish Hill Arts Festival on July 17th. I've never done something quite like this. What you see above is a 4 page adlib comic that participants can create their own characters/story. I'm not sure how well this is going to work or how interested people will be in completing a partially realized sequence of panels. It's an experiment in that regard. I'm trying to come up with some additional activity ideas to complement this one because undoubtedly there will be some young kids and they'll need a project that's easy to do and more importantly fun. I've been talking with Nate and he's expressed interest in doing some sort of cartooning demo or collaborative activity.

In addition to working an activity table there I'll also be there with selling Andromeda comics, prints, paintings and other crafty junk. Also be on the look out for the poster/flyer for the Arts Festival in your neighborhood/community in the coming weeks. Below is an early concept with no color. Once finished there will be a digitally colored 8.5" x 11" version, a larger screenprinted poster and screenprinted handbills of which the designs are not yet completed. Those handbills will likely be steeped in traditional Polish folk patterning and textile design. Hope that you can all make it for this festival. Last year was my first year and I can say with confidence that it's the coolest arts festival in Pittsburgh. Yes, even cooler than the Three Rivers Arts Festival!

Handmade Arcade

For the past two years I've been trying to get into Handmade Arcade, Pittsburgh's largest Indie craft fair, and each time was rejected. This year, the year I decide to not waste my time and effort, my friend Artnoose had a table and offered me the opportunity to third the table with her. I agreed, made some loot and had a great time! Well worth it.

You can now buy a piece of me

I set up my Etsy store today. There is a few paintings for sale there as well as magnets, birdhouses, and other crafts. I plan to add some more things there in the future. First I want to see how it pans out as an investment. The magnets are pretty cheap and also I accept custom orders, so put your request in today. There is a link to the side of the page here but you can also click here:   http://www.etsy.com/shop/littletired

I'm all ready to take mine and Nate's work to Handmade Arcade this year. I've broken down my wares I plan to sell into 4 groupings. Those being magnets/birdhouses, sketchbooks/publications, apparel/prints, and original work. It's truly all original work and each piece is unique, however most of the merchandise is reasonably priced and serves a function unlike the paintings and drawings. My friend Nate is most likely bringing a ton of comics and maybe some prints or something. Hope that we are accepted, we will know by mid-October.

Nickolodeon Paper Jacket

We went to Megan's parent's house on our way to Baltimore and she had a Nickolodeon paper jacket from middle school that she got from a box of cereal, it's so rad. Also I designed a t shirt for this guy last for his daughter's diabetes walking team and I got one of them in the mail the other week. Super excited that one of my drawings is on a shirt.
