Lettin' ya'll know...

Bad news, jerks- I haven't been able to finish drawing a new block since we last spoke. 
The reason, or reasons

Well, Evil Prints played host to awesome guest artist SEAN STAR WARS recently. I mentioned that before. He stayed at the shop for the better part of last week,  managed to drink more Mountain Dew than I thought humanly possible, and did some incredible work. I'll get some images up for ya'll later. 

Anyway, that was last week and this week the Evil Prints crew is hosting WOODCUT BOOTCAMP. Basically,we tricked a bunch of people in to paying us to live in the shop for a whole week and make HUGE woodcuts. We feed them frozen meals and PBR for 7 days and then wonder why our toilet is backed up. But hey, it pays the billz (almost). 

Also, I drew some flamingos for buddy, Nick Francel's project over at ROBOTIC ARMS PRESS. He decided to draw an animal a day from A to Z... I suppose he has his reasons. 

In return for the flamingos, Nick agreed to help me out over at MONSTERS DRINKING COFFEE with his skillz. Which, I've been told, also bay the billz. 

See all them links I got for you? Check em out- and expose ya'll selves to awesome, new stuff! 


Check back soon!

Ter Der!

Hey party people- U2 is playing in St. Louis tonight! Don't care? Me neither! While Bono spent the better part of his day greasing up his legs and crotch to squeeeeeze into those leather pants, I've been printing... And you know what the best part is? My Alligator People block is finished! It's carved and printed, my friends. I've got 30 of these bad boys sitting at the shop now- 
waitin' for color. 

It was hot in the shop... So I printed in my undies.

Yep, now to let the ink dry and hand color. I'm so excited I can hardly wait! But don't worry about me, friends, because SEAN STAR WARS is visiting Evil Prints this week. The Evil Print minions are going to print what Sean refers to as the largest woodcut he's ever done. LARGEST WOODCUT EVER!
And, come Thursday, Evil Prints will be paid a special visit by 
John Hancock! Not sure why, but it should rule pretty hard. 

So many awesome things you'll come close to killing yourself from the excitement! 

Pictured: id v super ego... or something. 
Ahh!

We're online!

Attention lowly peasants! 
I have FINALLY set up an account with Etsy.com so friends and strangers can buy my stuff without embarrassment! I hope to get my little monsters, t-shirts, and Camp Death from Outer Space prints listed by the end of the day. 


"But wait, Mike." 
You say, "That shouldn't have tooken you all day. What else have you been doing?"
"It's 'taken', dumbass."
I reply, "And... THIS!"

Then I should you my NEW Camp Death from Outer Space block! 

Take THIS!

 and THAT!

and ONE OF THESE!

Anyway, it would be awesome to sell some of these things to all you lovely, lovely people.  
So, Etsy site... yeah.
You know I was only kidding with that "lowly peasants" thing, right? 

more to come! 

E!

Mail Call!


I love, love, love getting things in the mail. Sometimes, I'll go online and spend a few interbucks (regular dollars) on cheap nerd stuff- usually toy robots; so that I'll get stoked when the package arrives at my doorstep.I know, I'm one daytime television program and a cup of ice cream away from total loneliness.A month or so ago I received a pair of genuine Spock ears from Amazon.com.

Spock ears > Medical alert bracelet.
Either = Pathetic.

And even more recently, my package arrived from Sean StarWars
(real name)!
It was a shirt, probably my new favorite shirt. Ever.

Lookit!

And while I'm on the subject of mail, and Sean StarWars, I'll show you all a print my buddy,
Levi K. Banker sent me-
based on a Sean StarWars quote:

Printmakers don't care much for flowery language.

And, because I know you all care so much, I'm still working on my Alligator People block.
And I've started preliminary drawings for two new Camp Deaths from Outer Space!

Whoa, dang!

Smell ya later.
