Always All Ages

We got asked by Todd P to do a cover for Showpaper , the New york area diy all ages show listing guide. It's pretty awesome. There is no advertising , they distribute it for free and pay for printing via benefits and donations . Right now there's a Showpaper benefit art sale going on , you can check it out here.






We're stoked to be involved so sooo many awesome artists have done covers and 'cause our band has played a buncha Todd's shows , they are always a tour highlight.


We'll be adapting this into either a 4 or 8 colour screenprint latter this summer. Let in touch if you wanna buy one. Now it's off the the gym and to the studio to play our favorite game : print till you pass out.

Our Garden Is Slow to Bloom , Not so For Our Press!

Matériel Mag

Here's a brand new publication that our friend Michael Freimuth from Chicago just put out: Matériel Magazine, an artist-run art mag---- it's a compilation of designers, photographers, illustrators and artists, a newsprint gallery of 36 x 24 inches--- we contributed two drawings we were working on at the time of submission.



The giant format helps making the artwork even more impressive, like everything more or less becomes a giant poster...

Jamming In The Library

Yesterday , looking to have a lovely Sunday, we tried to check out the open studios organized by Design Montreal to check out how the others work. Alas , at 1pm we got to the old Montreal studio that was to be the first of our crawl and it was utter austerity. The doors were closed , no signage was up and nobody was around . We peeked in the windows and saw a deserted looking office so instead slunk off the the die to have an extended jam , just the 2 of us.

Our duo , Hamborghinni! are playing our first Montreal show in what? 2 years? ( I think in 08 our only shows were in Bremen , Germany and in Quebec City) Next Friday deets here::

We recently got our copies of 2 new books our work is in , and they are both lovely.

Gig Posters Volume I: Rock Show Art of the 21st Century is a really novel one , as each page is perforated so that you have reproductions of TONES of gorgeous out-of-print posters to hang wherever your hear desires. It's also impressively big AND if you order from the link I posted you get a FREE Jay Ryan silkscreened art print.

Check out his awesome and educational process thread that is full of pics to make you drool.



The other book is TYPOMOFO type morphing into forms
It's a nice hardcover book with an international mix of designers , many of whom I was unfamilliar with. It's always great to be turned on to new stuff. From us they put the cover we did for MSTRKRFT's "The Looks", probably the most well-received thing we've ever done.

Weirdly , our photocollage gatefold spread for the latest MSTRKRFT was deemed too much for photobucket , I guess all those arms and legs ARE pretty sexy.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

One last day to vote or comment on how awesome we are. I'm feeling less than confident about the amount of votes/feedback we got. I think Threadless is really for the young and beautiful who have a million facebook friends.

Anyway , we'll still be very stoked to get your votes/feedback. We might just print and sell this on our own if the interest is there.

Lazy Weekend

It's almost noon and i'm still not dressed. Sitting here clutching a cuppa , listening to Sun City Girls and trying to feel awake 2 hours after getting outta bed. I'm trying hard to caffinate myself though 'cause I wanna get some drawing done before heading out to this::::





Launch of the OFF BNL MTL with COZIC, Honorary President
02/05/2009
4:15 pm

Leonard and Bina Ellen Gallery
1400 boul. de Maisonneuve Ouest (map) / Montreal, QC

The OFF BNL MTL program during the month of May assembles a selection of activities through out Montréal. The program is spread amongst galleries and artist run centres along as well as punctual and ephemeral projects (performances, launches, interventions). Vehemently independent the OFF BNL MTL underlines the dynamism of Montreal's artistic community, flourishing through a multitude of associations this affair exists as an idea shared and put into action by a community. With no governing theme assigned it demonstrates the community's capacity to self-organize, convene, define and celebrate upon their own conditions..

You are cordially invited to the official launch of the OFF BNL MTL, which will be held Saturday May 2nd at 4:15 pm, during the opening of the exhibition The Wrong Corpse, presented at the Leonard & Bina Ellen Gallery at Concordia University. This event will be graced with a performance by COZIC, honorary presidents of our inaugural manifestation.

Photos And Exactos

Summer is starting in Montreal and while I'm sporadically working on my balcony garden , I'm not minding the indoors life. I feel like Yannick and I are on a roll with the book of collages we're working on for Soundscreen Design (It'll be out in September). I haven't had this much fun "working " in a while.

Speaking of work , we're taking on art jobs in earnest , as we are gonna be slowing down on the traveling over the next 10 months. We just wanna stay home and MAKE STUFF. We're both a lil' tired from all the touring we've been doing the past few years and have a huge backlog of ideas to put on paper. So if you need something special made , it's good timing .

Now that we are home and packing orders once more we're flogging the ever popular Mystery Packs again. Great for regifting , the [packs contain 22 random screened posters , made by us with love. It's 110$ postpaid in North America , 130$ postpaid anywhere else.

We did this cover for the new MSTRKRFT record back in the fall but wanted to wait till the record was out to show it. It was our first time doing collage with photos we art directed ourselves. The Photography is by our good friend Yannick Grandmont.

We probably won't be bossing around makeup artists and naked models too often but it was fun while it lasted.
