THAT'S.A.WRAP

After a weekend of pulling hundreds of prints with the help of Lacey, we have finally wrapped the wrapping paper production process. (For our first pattern that is) The design is a combination of illustrations by Eric and me, and the wrap is hand-silkscreened on 100% post-consumer waste craft paper. That means it's more environmentally friendly than the standard stuff, and it's sturdy enough to reuse. Order online or email us directly.

October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and my friend (and fellow artist) Lacey Waterman and I created the artwork for these limited edition archival inkjet prints. Every three minutes an American woman is diagnosed, and these posters are meant to remind you of the women in your life. The women you can protect by spreading the word, and encouraging them to get regular mammograms. Know your girls, and your girlfriends. Lacey and I will be donating a portion of the sale of each print to the Susan B. Komen Foundation. Buy one here.

Don't just love the beach, protect it--by shopping. In celebration of 25 years of working to protect Los Angeles beaches and watersheds, Heal The Bay announces Buy The Bay, a site offering unique gifts and posters inspired by the intangible things we love about the beach created by local artists. Shop items like "The world's tallest sand castle starter kit" or "All the time in the world". All of the proceeds of your purchase go to Heal The Bay's clean-ups and legislative efforts to protect something everybody in LA enjoys. And if you're feeling especially inspired, become a member for $50 and receive a commemorative 25th anniversary poster illustrated, silk-screened, and signed by Eric Nyquist. The best part is, more items and artists are in store, so check back again when you start your holiday shopping and give someone a gift that gives something back to the beach.

My good friend Lacey just opened a virtual store for real-life products. Her hand-pulled silk screen prints of popsicles that turn your lips blue, catchphrases made graphic, and teenage mutant ninja turtles are the perfect thing to warm up a grey mesh cubicle or apartment wall. She uses 100% cotton rag paper (the nice stuff) and doesn't cut any corners--some of her designs have seven different layers of hand-mixed ink. Besides, who doesn't like getting something in a mailing tube?

As claimed many moons ago, I am finally getting around to producing some original wrapping paper with Eric. Each design will come on either red or craft (brown paper bag) colored paper, and we're planning on silkscreening our rolls with metallic and solid inks. We'll be selling the rolls at a boutique in Turlock, CA, as well as making them available online. Stay tuned for how to get a roll of our hand-made, 100% post-consumer waste wrapping paper. Here are some of my sketches for the project.
