Ohio Brew Week 2018

May 29, 2018

We’ve become friends with many Brew Masters over the years. They all have mystical characteristics. They talk about brewing in magical terms, and they recite recipes like potions.

Well it’s that time of year, when we start looking forward to the gathering of the “Mystics.” The 2018 Ohio Brew Week is […]

DSO – Celebrating 20 Years of the Grateful Dead Experience

March 29, 2017

I have been creating artwork for Dark Star Orchestra for several years now. It is always a pleasure to work with them on the DSO Jubilee and their Spring and Fall Tours. But when the band asked me to design the logo to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of DSO, well, I was literally blown away. You see, I cut my teeth in the t-shirt biz by hustling GD shirts on Shakedown Street in the LOT. […]
