i was asked to make a print for the upcoming G1988:LA show “The Greatest Moments In Sports History (A Poster Show)”. being a born and raised Massachusettsian, it was actually legally required that i both involve the red sox in every part of my daily being, and hate the yankees with a hatred normally reserved for nazis.  so i obliged.

but regardless of your opinions of this team vs that team and this stat vs that stat (i really dont care.), fenway is a beautiful place and host to a beautiful game. some modern additions but with its original bones. i never feel like im at an amusement park when im there like some other ballparks, i feel like im in some living breathing museum that feeds me hot dogs and has sing-alongs. i was there for 4 home runs in a row, i sat in the stands for 3 hours in a storm and watched lightning over the city, ive sat a few rows behind home plate at the world series, ive laid in the outfield grass, snuck into closed sections of the park, was there for schillings return, was there to hear the game long boo’s of damons return, ive waited in line for 9 hours for tickets just eating free ice cream and dunkin donuts, had my name on the score board, had my fathers name on the scoreboard, etc etc etc etc. i have nothing but great memories of that place.

…so anyways. i drew fenway. it took me 2 weeks. it probably should have only taken a week, but im still feeling particularly under the weather this past month, so it was a bit of a struggle, as is staying awake and not launching my lungs out of my body.   edition details TBA.

ok, im going to try to continue to tackle the month long backup of emails now… ugh. not on my feet lately, im behind and i apologize to those i havent gotten back to yet.

very quick update, but another great Magic Bullet Records release featuring some of my artwork is available, and near gone already. the box set above for Forensics “YOU DON’T HAVE TO WIN, BUT YOU HAVE TO FIGHT” is available at their website. the box set versions are nearly gone, and i think theres maybe 5 or 6 skatedecks left.

…sorry for the delay on that jungle-y poster, ive been dealing with some health issues and have had my mind on other things and/or been sleeping. yes i know ive been sick for weeks, you can thank my lungs.

hey folks, quick note. im hopping out to LA this tuesday the 15th for the LOST art show at Gallery 1988. so come by and say hi. its going to be a really awesome event and certainly something for the fans of the show and fans of the artists.. listen to your friend paul scheer, hes a cool dude.

as for all the mailorder, were hauling a truck load down to the post office every day. there were hundreds and hundreds of orders given how much stuff went on sale and were hauling through it, and were hoping to wrap things up this weekend. we havent gotten a chance to send out shipping notices to everyone so its entirely possible your order is on your way even though nobodys said anything yet. 100 tubes going out tomorrow alone.
much much much thanks to my mailorder squad.

thanks to everyone who picked something up today. besides a few hiccups, the store held up quite well. most things sold out with some quickness. cant thank everyone enough for the support, it means a ton. were going to get everything squared up and start getting orders out asap. got a surplus of help this time around for the holidays.

coming up in a few weeks ill be releasing my posters for andrew bird, the decemberists, mogwai, grails, pinback, why?, additional sonic youths, and a few other things. i couldn’t do it all at once, so keep your eye out. as well, in early december ill be doing another fun project with justin myer staller involving a large pressure printing press and many inks. its going to be another pretty experimental ordeal, so ill be posting a process journal as usual again with videos, keeping people up on what were doing.

no apologies to those insta-ebay flippers and recent TME-comment-authors who had theirs orders canceled, got all boo hoo butt hurt about it, and then suggested that i should “get a real job” amongst claims i have a big nose. i do have a big nose, im polish. you guys should learn a thing or two about IP addresses. seriously. thanks for stopping by, so sorry i boo hoo hoo ruined your day boo hoo hoo, you giant baby.

i love the rest of ya.

seems like ive just got a run of things to talk about here… my print ‘lock and key or latchkey’ was featured in the book ’sargents daughters’ about the famous painting ‘the daughters of edward darley boit’ by john singer sargent, one of my favorite paintings and certainly an odd but important influence on my work. its featured on the last page too! what it obviously comes down to is that my piece is the final word on the subject. check it out at amazon, or the MFA in boston gift shop.
