David Smith

John Mayer can suck it but David Smith is the Boss! 

Grab beer and a smoke...oh and the first 5 minutes is lame.

Suprise Visit

I am working on a logo design for a neighborhood grocer in Madison and wanted a period look from the "good ole days". Being that my reference library is rather small I called up a letterhead friend of mine, Mike Meyer, from northern MN to see if he had any old ads he could fax over or email...this was Tuesday. At about 5:30 today I got call from him saying "Im staring at the Grumpy Troll sign, where the hell are you?" Needless to say he made a 6 hr trip to drop off what many would call "old gold" in the sign world. So honored and thankful. This man is a living legend in our small world and quite the character...very very good people! 

This is the stash he dropped off..I could spend days studying these, fucking amazing stuff that you never see anymore...all done by hand

Mike Meyer Signs

Hot lines and drop shadows

World of Wheels Part 1: The Paint

Just a great layout and design by Paul Martin.

One of my favs

Totally insane pastel and colored pencil portrait by Del. Apparently he whipped this out in 2-3 hours

Super rad and unique stripe design

My panel

As usual there was a huge turn out for the event. The pics above dont even touch the tip of the iceberg...I dont think 16gb woulda been enough to get all the artwork. And the best part of it all is that everything was done with a brush, some paint and a panel...no vinyl stickers here boys!
