One of the strangest tales ever told...

How do you do? It would be a little unkind to present these pictures without just a word of friendly warning. 

I think they will thrill you. They may shock you. They might even - horrify you. So if any of you feel that you do not care to subject your nerves to such a strain, now's your chance to - uh, well, we warned you.

WHEN: Friday October 19
WHERE: 4115 Guadalupe Street, Austin TX

 

 

Out of the Loop...

Hey all, my apologies if you've been trying to reach me the past week; I had to travel due to family matter and was unable to answer any mail or inquiries. To make matters worse, a recent batch of email messages ended up  'unretrievable' according to my service provider, so if you've sent me a mail since last Tuesday please feel free to resend as I may not have received it. Thanks in advance for your patience as I play catch up getting the remaining tubes out the door.

SHIPPING UPDATE:  Started shipping out the Fortress and Batcave AP orders and hope to have them all out by the end of this week (11/16).

Good to be home. -JC

New print for Mondo - "The Bat Cave"

Hello friends-

Many of you have seen this one already, but I can finally post it here. Worked with my friends at Mondo to create their latest DC-licensed print titled "The Batcave." The print will go on sale at the Mondotees site on Thursday, August 30 at a random time.

Since it's never a good idea to try to explain away artistic choices, of course I wrote a long-winded blurb doing just that for the Mondo blog.

Here's the intro:

Any time you are assigned the task of reinterpreting an iconic setting with a long established history, it can be intimidating. You begin knowing how passionate fans are about the universe, and that many of them have their own definitive idea of what the Batcave looks like.

Do you hew closely to the established comic/tv/movie canon, or take some chances to create something new? Do you keep it a clinical, cross-section rendering, or attempt to go deeper and tell some kind of narrative within the scene? For our take on the Batcave, we decided on another option: trying all of the above...

 It goes on like that for a while, so if you can stand to read the entire thing head over to the Mondo blog.

Madness of an architect...

Sitting here for an hour trying to write something useful about an impending print release. Much easier to draw 'em than explain 'em.

Basically it will be the tale of how we attempt to tell an iconic, complex narrative in 2 screenprinted panels, only changing minor staging between the two... astoundingly, I think it worked out.

More to come soon.-JC
