I had the pleasure of creating art posters for the SWANS' upcoming August 25th show at The Neptune in Seattle for their farewell tour. This is a smaller edition of only 50. Signed and numbered 18"x24" 2-color silkscreen prints on French "FactoryGreen" 100# cover-weight paper.

'Twas a fun weekend of silkscreening with my friend, artist Ryan McJunkin at Faultline Artspace in East Oakland. Sadly, it's been a while since this sore ol' desk jocky has hand-pulled some screens and my printing muscles have definitely atrophied. The plan on these also switched half way though, so the green color is the actual paper and all white is printed and cut from the edge. That's a first! These were also all trimmed out by hand (200 cuts instead of 4) due to my distrust of any last-minute Sunday night service that a Kinkos or Staples-like place is bound to f**k up. Worked harder, not smarter for sure, but very pleased with the outcome!

| Voilà! |
These will be available for purchase at the August 25th Seattle show at The Neptune. Afterward, they will be released on my store HERE on the following day of 8/26.
The original art for the posters, "Still Sinking" is available here.
Thank you Secret Serpents for making this happen, Faultline Artspace for the studio access and printing day, and Swans for the inspiration and for having me out to the show at the Independent here in SF!
