Scraped Knee: The Art of Matt Leunig

Hey all.. I am gonna be taking off for a couple months to do some exploring & traveling with the lady and wont be able to take any orders for a bit. Last day to put in orders for books & posters is JUNE 4th!!!

Get your orders in people…

Edward Sharpe & the Magentic Zeros at the Fillmore is done. After some back n’ forth w/ the Fillmore we agreed on an old 60′s style piece which is fine with me. Seeing those old Fillmore prints (Wes Wilson, Bonnie McLean, etc..) back in middle school is what got me into doing posters.

Lithograph, 13′ x 19′

Will be available in the POSTER section.

New Vetiver print is available for sale.  Technially for sale on 5/27,.. the night after the show at the Bottom of the Hill but it came out beautifully.  Vetiver is always on constant rotation on my headphones so I was psyched to do a piece for show.  I’ve never done a “pin-up” piece,… so this is my 1st attempt at something like that.  A kind of Betty Rubble flapper pinup…

  Ahh, “The Bridge Project“. This was a comic anthology I completed last year that took 2 years to put together. The purpose of the book was to team up 13 artists from Portland with 13 artists from the Bay Area to work on stories together. There is a pretty strong connection between these 2 cities in regards to the comic scenes, similar social & political views and simply just way of life. This definetly lead to some interesting stories with some really talented cartoonists involved (Graham Annable, Scott Campbell, David Chelsea, Calvin Wong, John Isaacson, etc.).

       The idea was that “The Bridge Project” would continue as an anthology that would team up more cities with each volume (exp. NYC & Chi, ….Vancouver & MTL,… etc) but we’ll have to wait and see how the 1st one does. I actually had a good time doing this, meeting and working with all these cartoonists… these just end up being lengthy projects to commit to. This being the 1st one alot of these cartoonists essentially had to trust me that the book would be good and come out. Having this under my belt will help push another volume if it looks like people think its a good idea.

The book was finished about a year ago and made its way into the Diamond Previews (distributor) catalogs and will be hitting stores next month, I think. $10 bucks for a 100-pg anthology,.. not bad.

Can’t wait? You just order it from me… in the Comics section.
