EB_bigfoot_final_Leunig

Slinky” ad for publication/storefront adverts created for legendary guitar string company Ernie Ball.

They also wanted to do a couple “team shots” of famous guitarists under the Ernie Ball roster (Slash, Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Kirk Hammet, Omar Rodriguez Lopez, etc..) as old timey baseball cards, but in the end these ended up not being used.

“1986” pops up on Reddit…

I was alerted today that the 1986 print made the front page of Reddit today. Rad!!!! It already spawned a GIF as well, sent to me by Fern at Daily Dot

A random flood of interest is always good. I dared looking at some of the comments posted and was amused to see to see people taking something that I drew at my drawing table extremely serious and already picking it apart…. “Hey man,. that background color is not the correct shade of blue, do you even play Mario?“,… “TMNT figures weren’t even that popular until 1987, your title is a lie”. Regardless,… one step closer to world domination.

TRPS Festival of Rock Posters 2012, San Francisco….

Hey all,.. it’s been a couple years since I did a TRPS show but I will be back in the Bay Area this October for the annual TRPS Festival of Rock Posters in Golden Gate Park (Hall of Flowers), on Saturday, October 13th. I have been doing a lot of posters shows but this one is special because it features a lot of the old school posters artists from the 60’s and old Fillmore-era work that heavily influence me growing up. The initial line up looks great with such greats as Wes Wilson & Lee Conklin, plus more artists are still to come…
