Wild Kindness Patch Design

Here’s a little sneak peak at a patch design that I came up with for Wild Kindness Records. In the coming months we’ll be making a slew of new merchandise for the label in preparation for an East Coast tour featuring WK musicians and visual artists including myself/Little Tired. Starting in March I’ll be out there on the road selling comics, prints and other creative curiosities in these cities; New York, Philadelphia, Columbus, Youngstown, Pittsburgh (of course) and possibly Chicago.

You can also now purchase Little Tired comics by the bundle through Wild Kindness' online shop!

Nate McNasty makes a Comic Book!

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!

Wild Vibracion

Poster I made for Costello & The Cool Minors Record Release Show at Thunderbird Cafe. This show was awesome and fun was had by all. Way Yes (from Columbus) was also there along with Smiling (from Pittsburgh) and both of them rocked the mic.

Wild Kindness T-Shirt Design

Antlered Tape Recorder Illustration by, record label owner, David Pokrivnak and Lettering treatment by me, Andy Scott. Look for this shirt to be available in the coming months.

MV & EE Poster

My friend Seth somehow got MV & EE to come play a show at his house and he asked if I'd create the poster. I said yes and decided to collaborate on it with my dear friend Sneary. Here is the result. The show is on the 12th at 8pm located at 121 Roup Avenue. Hope to see you there!

Aftermath of an Average Miracle

The "Not So F*%@?#! Serious" group show that kicked off this past Friday (October 21st) at Unsmoke Artspace in Braddock, PA was certainly something to experience. Braddock was the appropriate setting for this eclectic and excited assemblage of artists, all working feverishly in the Pennsylvania region at one time or another. The landscape of Braddock consists of belching steel mill activity (across the street from the venue), lonely buildings and kind-hearted people.

The show was a relative success, considering the location and distance from Pittsburgh. Attracting around 100 guests throughout the evening, fun was in large supply and no bad vibes were generated or received. We'll be planning a closing reception for those that missed the opening or those that want to come back for more. Likely the closing activities will occur around the weekend of the 11th, 12th and 13th, which day exactly is undetermined at this point.

And now, time for some photos from the evening and installation process, enjoy........

Hope to see y'all out there, it's gonna be a blast!

Now In Colors

I plan to print some of these off and we'll be selling them at the Zine Fair!

The Official flyer/poster for the 1st PGH Zine Fair

 

I hope to color this, I think it'll look 110% better. We'll see if I actually do before the event happens.

Polish Hill Arts Festival (part deuce)

So I finished up the poster for the Polish Hill Arts Festival a few nights ago. It's a 3-color creature and took a surprisingly long time to finish coloring. Unfortunately the art I made wasn't proportionate to a tabloid size, but I think I compensated well with the extra white space.  I plan to also screenprint a larger version, but it will likely be in just one color.

.... and here are some Handbill designs created at the last minute....

You all NEED to come to this! Don't worry I'll be sure to remind as the date approaches...

Braddock Again ~ Invasion

Hello to all. I want to post about this, but I'm not sure how much I can leak to you as it's still in it's infancy. So for now I'll be giving you the bare bones and therefore just teasing you.

Over the past 2 months I've been organizing, with Maggie Negrete and a few other folks, a group art show in Braddock, PA at the artspace Unsmoke Systems. The show is set to happen mid-October, the Opening Reception on October 21, 2011. The prospective artists have already been selected, a good handful have since agreed through informal conversations. We'll be sending out our proposal to a little over 20 Pittsburgh based artists next week. The name for the show is not yet decided, but by tomorrow it will be finally decided.

The show will be based in installation, traditional art exhibiting (framed pieces, sculptural, etc.), experiential and on-site/site specific painting or multi-media. So essentially it's a creative free-for-all of sorts. We don't have total creative freedom in this space, but the gallery owner/operator, Jeb, is an awesome dude and is allowing us a lot of flexibility. That is actually the primary reason for having it in Braddock at this particular location. The hardest part will be promoting this and convincing people to travel all the way to Braddock just for an art show. So start spreading the word now. Unfortunately that is all the information I can release at the moment. Once all of the artists have been confirmed I'll make a more complete post. Until then just wallow in your own anticipation please!

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!
