NEW! The Albatross Screen Print
New print available in my online store here. This print came together when I had a design job from a band where I was creating multiple designs for them to choose from, another design got picked and I was left with a few designs. So after this design sat on my computer for a few months I decided to edit it slightly and see how it would turn out as a print.
This is a 1 color print, printed on 140lb Black French Paper. 12.5-12.5in in size.

o’death and Death Vessel screen printed poster
This o’death and Death Vessel print is now up for sale in my Etsy Shop. I have about 10 of these left and 100% of sales after shipping and Etsy processing charges is still going towards o’death to help them with their recent robbery that happened while on tour. Read more about it here. (http://www.gofundme.com/gk4wyc). These were for sale at their show at SPACE Gallery in Portland, ME the other night with all money going towards the band as well, I think we sold a good amount of posters, the leftovers were given to the band. So this is the only place to get them before they are gone forever!

New Stag and Snake Screen Printed Poster
I just finished up printing 2 editions of this print I created a few months ago for the band Graveyard Lovers. It was initially a t-shirt design for the band but I always kind of liked it so much I decided to make it into a 12-16in 1 color poster. I also printed a small edition with band text that will be sent to the band and available through them. These are up for sale now here.

New ‘March of the Hare’ Screen Print available now!
New to the web store! This ‘March of the Hare” 12.16in. screen print is from my t-shirt of the same name, I decided to print some paper prints since I did get rid of the white layer on the shirt printing since it did not work exactly the way I wanted it to but I think it works great on paper! Really makes it pop that much more. The shirt version is on a very white/oatmeal color so the white was not needed as much for those. These are now available online and will have them at Picnic in Portland this August 23rd!
