Hello Everyone!
Okay instead of a Pizza Break this month, we're going to try out some new technology!
Our friend Melissa has been hard at work building a virtual space for us all to hangout and meet! Think of it like a Minecraft game meets a Zoom meeting. You'll each have an avatar and be able to walk around the ho...

Greetings Everyone!
I've been inside painting these creature card canvases for the board game. Above is a bird on vocals. Ruby asked if I could paint it green so I did (even though it was originally intended to be a cardinal). On the right is a man o' war jellyfish on drums. (?)
The last couple of days I've been adding ey...

Rummaging through some old files, I found this very early concept drawing of a stage that would eventually evolve into the silliest show on earth (on turntables).
Back in 2010-11 and fresh off the very cozy, seated experience of the Space Cadet Headphone Concerts, I was about to release an album called 12 bit Blues...

Hey Everyone!
Just wanted to let you know we've been at work here finalizing the EPs to be sent out to the pressing plant.
It's that last 2% of the project and yes, it usually takes the most time. Everything from checking bass phase issues on the masters, to looking for typos in the art work.

I was digging through the archives and I found this ridiculous print I made many years ago. It was my first attempt at creating a 5 color linocut and was an assignment for an elective "art materials class" in the Education program.
In order to make this I was taught how I needed to "cut out the negative" of what I wanted to see. Then...

Hey Everyone!
This is a piece of "latch hook art" that my mom made in the 1970s. Apparently just after I was born. So she would work on this while baby Eric was taking naps.
Every thread was a precut 2 - 4 inch pieces of yarn in different colors. She would hook each thread into a gridded base that looks like ...
