Hey, if you're in Chicago this weekend, and you're reading this blog, then there is a good chance you will be at the Pitchfork Music Festival. AND, if you are there please come to Flatstock 21 that will have over 50 poster artist featuring 1,000's of posters including us.

Thursday, July 16th, 7:00pm @ Quimby's

Leading off the gig-poster-goodness that is Flatstock, the poster art show being held this weekend in conjunction with the Pitchfork Music Festival, gigposters.com founder Clay Hayes will be signing copies of the book along with Chicago screen printing giants Jay Ryan, Delicious Design League (that's us), Diana Sudyka and Steve Walters.

I'm sure there will be a bunch more artists there from around the country as well.

Eric Canete is pretty damn good.

If you know me, you know I'm a big comic book geek and one of my favorite artists right now has got to be Eric Canete. He's constantly updating his blog with amazing sketches that are incredibly dynamic and creative. Please do yourself a favor and check out his site.

Dune with Jodorowsky and Moebius?!

I had no idea, and that's why I love the internet.

Check out these amazing character designs by Moebius for what was to be Jodorowsky's Dune adaptation that sadly ran out of funding and was never made. Amazing and sad all at the same time.

Who likes creepy videos?

Teith, along with the direction and editing of Ben Chappell, have created this amazingly creepy video.

enjoy.

New book by Jason from Fantagraphics

If you are not familiar with the work of Norwegian graphic artist Jason then this is the perfect opportunity to do so. This new collection of stories called Low Moon is absolutely fantastic and a very good example of why I think he is one of the best storytellers in the graphic novel genre. Instead of just illustrating a story he uses the images and text as perfect partners to convey an often melancholy short story. After you've read this, I would recommend Hey Wait and The Left Bank Gang.

Bob Peak Gallery Event!

Oh how I wish I could be there. And, more importantly, if you really like me you'll buy me some prints - oh if I could only afford it.
