The Disco Biscuits Halloween 2020 poster.

The COVID-19 pandemic has basically shutdown the music industry and live shows for the last few months but there has been signs of life lately that bands are getting back on the road and getting creative with how they playing music live. The Disco Biscuits have been on a Drive-In tour and recently asked me to do a poster for their 3-day Halloween show in Lafayette, NY.

When coming up with a concept obviously it being Halloween factored into it so I tried a couple different approaches. Also, the venue was an old Apple Orchard that hosts the Lafayette Apple Festival so I thought working that imagery in as well would fit nicely. I tried out some witches both normal and Cosmic but we eventually landed on the werewolf. Only direction was “crack” him out a bit more we went with the “witch” color palette.

“SWIRL” foil

“SHEEN” foil

There was a small number of posters available at the show including some “Rainbow foils” and the band experimented a pre-sale online as well. My Artist Edition of prints (run of 30) as well as 2 funky foil variants, “Sheen” foil & “Swirl” foil (both run of 14), are currently available now up in my Store. Great print job by Hi-Line Merchandising.

Uncle Psycho Sam puzzle release

During this time of COVID many of us have found pleasure in the ancient calming art of jigsaw puzzles. We recently created one our own with our “Uncle Psycho Sam” design and just added it to our Store. Do not be fooled, as this is no ordinary puzzle. Expect a challenge.

The puzzle measures 18′ x 24 & is a 1000-pieces. Boxes come signed & numbered.

Save the USPS. Posters & Downloads

I am one of the hundreds of thousands of small businesses that utilize the US Post Office on an almost daily basis and it is currently being threatened.

With the recent appointment of new Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, the current administration is systematically dismantling and literally stripping the USPS in hopes of eventually privatizing it all the while potentially undermining the upcoming election. The removal of sorting machines & mailboxes as well as abolishing overtime and cutting staff has already created massive delivery delays and now runs the risk of “late” mail-in ballots to go uncounted.

1.) Buy stamps or USPS merch. Thats right, USPS merch which is available online. Get some much needed money back into the organization.

2.) Submit your mail-in ballot early and request a tracking # to avoid overwhelming the USPS come election day.

3.) Contact your local congressional representative. Through they may already be on board, make sure you let them know this is important.

4.) Thank your local USPS carrier, who has been out there being an essential worker during this whole COVID shit-storm.

We created some “Save the USPS” artwork to help share the message and hopefully drive some funds to the Post Office via sales of stamps and shipping costs to the post office.

With the help of the fine folks at Backside Press we have new 16″ x 20″ screenprinted poster available which comes in Black as well as Red/Blue fade. The plan was to keep these cheap and have the focus be drumming up some “shipping” costs for the USPS.

Along with the larger size we have a smaller available as well. Put these up in your windows and let your local mail person see you are on board.

A really great way to hit a number of these ways to help is start sending your friends & family letters and postcards. Send one to your local rep or hell, even send one to Louis DeJoy’s office and let him know what you think about what is going on. All postcards will come PRE-STAMPED and ready to go. Cards are 5” x 6.25” and come in 4 colors (black, red, blue & fade)…

We also have stickers available which would look great on poster tubes, around town or on your local mail box. Stickers are 3.75″ x 5″ in and come in 4 colors (black, red, blue & fade)…

As stated before, we have these items for Sale to hopefully drum up some money shipping-wise (postage/stamps) for the Post Office but mainly would like to help spread the message.

In this spirit the Artwork is also downloadable FOR FREE with the hopes that you will print your own and spread the art around. Make some coloring sheets for kiddies to color or make your own postcards.
