jensen speaking….
don’t want to let too much out of the bag, but artist Daniel Danger and Gallery1988 have partnered up to release Danger’s first full-scale art toy, a SUPER limited and BEAUTIFUL hand-crafted piece. This thing has to be seen to be believed. I, as a fan of Daniel’s, have been waiting tirelessly for him to create his own toy, so when he brought up the idea, I couldn’t have said yes quick enough. Produced by our friends at Pretty In Plastic, this one will go down in the record books, even if there aren’t going to be many made!
Here’s the sketch from Daniel that the toy is based off:

I want to keep some mystery, so here is an in-progress shot of an early prototype of the toy -

We had some painting and tweaks since then, but you can get that early excitement going from the pics for sure! This will be first available at his opening reception next Thursday, August 5th. Each toy will also come with a hand embellished print, and we’re talking LIMITED LIMITED LIMITED….email us at gallery1988@aol.com if you’d be interested and we can start taking names…

Oni Press, Bryan Lee O’Malley and Daniel Danger’s Tiny Media Empire have teamed up for a limited edition run of Scott Pilgrim gig posters. Each of the four silkscreened gig posters feature a band from the Scott Pilgrim comics by Bryan Lee O’Malley including: Sex Bob-omb, Clash at Demonhead, Crash & the Boys, and Kid Chameleon.

Tiny Media Empire and three powerhouse artists have each lent their style to one of the bands in the Scott Pilgrim series. Kevin Tong, best know for his gig poster work with Sonic Youth, Weezer, and Wilco, took on the Scott Pilgrim series’ quintessential band Sex Bob-omb. Daniel Danger, founder of Tiny Media Empire, put together a legendary video game reference masterpiece for his Clash At Demonhead gig poster.Underground comics favorite, Hellen Jo, used her trademark vibrant style for the quirky Crash & The Boys. And gig poster pros, Aesthetic Apparatus, have created an iconic gem for Scott Pilgrim’s high school band Kid Chameleon.

Each of the four silkscreened, four-color, 18″ x 24″ posters is numbered and collected into a set and 200 sets will be sold at the Oni Press Booth (#1833) during San Diego Comic Con for $120. In addition to the full sets, 300 copies of a varient on Kevin Tong’s Sex Bob-omb gig poster featuring a metallic ink will available separately for $35.

Can’t make it to Comic-Con? No worries! Each artist will have a limited quantity of their own poster available for sale on their website after the convention:

hey folks,
this was a really fun project to put together, and defiantly an insane and challenging series to work with, given the completely over the top nature of almost everything about everything within it. but with the books and characters being so engrossed and centered around rock bands, which are then soaked in an ocean of obscure references to video games and movies and indie rock and everything; doing gigposters as they would exist in that world that played off those ideas just made sense. my poster is probably one of the weirder things ive ever done, im still a little boggled by my choices, but chances are if youre a fan of Scott Pilgrim or a fan of old school Sierra games (as i am intensely), you’ll want this on your wall. to everyone else, im sorry if youre scratching your head because nothing about this makes sense. yeah, that wizard was an asshole.

last year i spoke at a conference in dublin called OFFSET. i talked at moderate length about my influences and concepts and ideas, a bit about myself and my processes, all that good stuff. it was filmed all fancy like and i finally have a copy i can share with you all. if you want a peek into how i tick, this is a pretty good start. let me know what you think or any questions in the comments.

if you get a server error, try again. people have gotten through, its just REALLY traffic heavy. if you get back to your cart and its empty, it more than likely means the print is SOLD OUT. there are ALOT of people going after a very small amount of prints. having the item in your cart does NOT guarantee its yours, you have to check out and then it is removed from the total inventory. despite common frustrated belief, the “in your cart” inventory systems do NOT work well for these situations…

good luck everyone!!

hi folks.
so i apologize for the very short notice, but with my schedule being the way its been lately, i have to jump at any opening with my schedule and my helpers schedule to actually get some mailorder handled on a large scale. every time ive set aside a day or two to tackle getting some new things online, ive had some crazy problem derail my day completely time and time again to the point of it being almost comical. there was a week where i waited for even a 15 minute break in the torrential rain, so i could unload a carload of prints from my truck, that never came.

TOMORROW WEDNESDAY MAY 5th 2PM EASTERN:

‘fenway’. 6 color screenprint. edition of 100 cut sets (set of two 11×22″ imagesize prints), and 200 uncut prints (11×44″ imagesize). $100
ONE PER PERSON/HOUSEHOLD. ONE OR THE OTHER. NO ‘BOTH’. i made two versions realizing that due to the size, framing or hanging two smaller prints might be more economical or practical than an oversized panoramic print. theres been a ridiculous amount of interest in both versions, so i want to make sure people can get the version they want, rather than ebay dude getting one of each to sell. orders for both will be refunded for one based on potentially flipping a coin. choose one, please. xo

THE DAY AFTER THAT, THURSDAY MAY 6th 2PM EASTERN:

‘…and thats why my hand was shaking’ 18×24″ six color screenprint, edition of 300. $250.
these are my copies of my official print for the television show LOST. theirs sold out in something like 10 seconds when they went on sale months back, there has been a huge demand for them, and i only have about 35 copies to sell on this day. these copies are how we got paid for this project, so the price reflects a middleground between the OG price and ‘current market value’, and i think is more than fair. these will go fast, and the internet traffic for these prints will crush my server im certain, so im doing these ON THEIR OWN, the next day, in a manner which will hopefully be the least headache-inducing for everyone involved. they will be pre-packed, so they will require their own shipping, insurance, delivery confirmation, etc.
ONE PER PERSON, PER HOUSEHOLD, PER FAMILY, PER APARTMENT COMPLEX, PER OFFICE POOL, PER PAYPAL ACCOUNT, PER STATE OF MAINE, ETC. if you already got one through ABC, don’t be a dick. i can very easily check, and most of you are well aware of my penchant for doing such things.

i have a small handful of outstanding orders that are all going out tomorrow before anything else. youll be getting individual emails, but if you get this first, thats whats going on. it was all the orders that contained prints that were stashed away elsewhere but i will be said elsewhere tomorrow!

im sure ill think of something else, but thats our plan.
once again, thanks for all the continued support. i know ive been a little off the radar lately, between being incredibly sick for entirely too long and a sea of contract work, but ive got a seemingly neverending supply of awesome news to announce in the near future, and you’ll all understand when that time comes.
