Soy Nog

WOW!
Thanks for the awesome support Montreal! Despite a blizzard , our open studio was a screaming success! For those of you who couldn't make , we have our backpatches for sale at Local 23 ( 23 Bernard) and will be restocking them with prints before the weekend. They are a great shop , brimming with local art and fashion and nice (and nicely priced) vintage stuff so do check 'em out.
sale!
Me with the goods.

*******************
Right before we left for tour we were working on a few different album covers , this is the one we did for The Inevitable Backlash . It comes out March 3rd.

All that text is hand drawn and took a million years to get right.
Using the same 2 drawings , with different treatments on almost every panel of the layout , we're continuing the explore the idea of repetition as a hypnotic element , as seen on our recent posters for Little Claw , Silver Apples and Eats Tapes .

Hope everyone is having lovely holidays , right now our kitchen is filled with fresh baked sourdough bread and about 35 candycane cupcakes and more seitan that you can shake a stick at for various dinner parties with our awesome friends. We're trying to get some design work outta the way so we can hit the ski trails guilt free this weekend. Cracking open the new art supplies for got under the tree has me all excited , something is just so satisfying about the smell of new pencils.
Stay warm!

To The Die , To The Die

Long time no update. We got back from tour a few weeks ago (yes , it WAS pretty fun . I'm in love with America , rock music , the desert , + people with brilliant ideas , overflowing with creativity and the elbow grease to see it through. People are amazing and I feel very lucky to constantly be interacting with some of the most interesting folks alive.) and have been busy lil' bees.
A few thing we've been doing are larger projects that will be unveiled soon , but for now this.


Another tattoo For Colin:

We did a lil' something for him a while back. This is round 2.


We always get really nervous + excited when folks want us to design tattoos for them. It's such a serious job.

This Sunday we're having an open house / studio sale. It's a great time for some IRL Q&A.
Seriously , ask us ANYTHING and we'll try our best to help. We'll have hundreds of prints for sale PLUS brandspankin' new BACKPATCHES that we JUST printed . They are VERY freaking weird. Tell your jean jacket to get excited!

And it wouldn't be a Seripop sale without the ol' scratch and dent pile. Minor mangles 1-5$.

Everything else is under 50$ , mostly under 25$ , with freebies if you buy something.

Pass by at the Hundred Sided Die
Sunday Dec 21st 08

Our Studio mates Jesse Purcell and Jasa Baka will be selling prints and toy cupcakes respectively. Please DO stop on by!

Stuff:


-GO see the Christian Marclay show in Montreal. Did I ever mention we met at one of his performances. One of the most witty contemporary artists around. As my friend Lisa said , he makes you wish you thought of it first.

-After 5 years of faithful service , we retired our 16 year old Econoline van and bought a bigger , newer one. Our new baby is only 6 years old with nary a rust spot. We're excited & proud parents.

-In February we'll be having our first ever show in Scotland at Peacock Visual Arts Peacock Visual Arts in Aberdeen. Yay! Lock up your Sheese !


-We're working on a very cool project with some very cool bands. Stay tuned for details.
