Swallowed up in Brooklyn!

Over the last few months I have been working with the Brooklyn hardcore band Swallowed Up. They are putting out an LP soon and doing everything except pressing the vinyl completely DIY. There are going to be 6 different covers for the record nerds of the world and every cover features an original print that I have made.

We recently finished printing all 500 covers.

These five covers are etchings, there are about 225 total that we printed at Pratt over the summer.

I recently went down to stay at the Stolen Sleeves Collective in Brooklyn to print the remaining 275 silkscreened covers.

The dog of the house, Lucy, always wants to play. I love this dog and play with her as much as I can.

While I was there I also made a new linocut, because quite frankly watching tv serial dramas gets old after a while and you know what they say about idle hands.

Walking around Brooklyn I saw a lot of art on the streets. Here is a sample.

It's nice to see people are excited about something in this country.
