Got to work on a great project last week. I was asked by Sidewalk Atlas, a local band here in Philly, to design a new t-shirt for them. They asked me if I was interested in doing a fun, post-apocalyptic theme for the image. I said sure, twist my arm!

The design is three colors printed on a purple t-shirt. It may look like the robots are destroying the city for no reason but I prefer to think that they are looking for a lost kitten.

The band is taking orders for the shirt here. You can also check out their new album which is definitely worth a listen (and a purchase) here. For more info visit sidewalkatlas.com

Zilla Screen Print - Bryan Brinkman

Hey Autumn Societiers,

I recently started learning to screen print. After screen printing the drawing using a Yudu machine, I colored it using a sharpie marker. The Marker ended up causing the ink to bleed, so I was also to get some shading with it. You can get one at my new online shop Sum of the Parts, which also has my prints from past Autumn Society shows like The 3B Show and Shell Shock - TMNT. Hope you guys dig it.

CMYK Images....Finally

Here are my pieces for the Attack of CMYK show that is currently going on at A x D Gallery in Philadelphia (265 S. 10th Street). This project really kicked my ass. After heading in one direction and not liking where it was going, I did a 180 two weeks before the deadline and completely changed everything. On top of that I had a lot of problems with burning screens. The insane heat and humidity coupled with a new emulsion brand made things very difficult and I ended up having to reburn 9 screen and do all printing in three and a half days. Thankfully, everything was done in time and all the prints look pretty darn good. Above are the digital versions of my pieces. For some reason speedballs Process cyan is way darker than real cyan so the prints look a bit different. But with only three days to get things done, beggers can't be choosers.

Some people may notice that I brought an old favorite out of retirement for this project. When I heard that the name of the show was actually called Attack of CMYK I knew I had to do something with monsters. I felt the Robot flying a kite over Philadelphia piece was a perfect fit. So I based the other two pieces off the same premise. They're not so much attacking as they are just doing their thing.

The show will be up till September 3rd. Enjoy!
