Happy friday people! Here is a mix put together by LETHAL DOS, a deejay duo comprised of mentor DJ Benzo and myself, for RubyHornet. It was released a few months back, but I think it is worthy for another free download. Get it while you can!

I have a column on RubyHornet.com called the FreshMen. My latest entry is a recap of the 2010 Sneak & Eat event in Hyde Park. Some of the heavy hitters in the Chicago sneaker game were in attendance in an effort to promote unity within the community. Check it out...
This month's collectors edition Guitar Legends Magazine features Jimi Hendrix and my ad for the Randall MTS series! Who doesn't like exploding text?
This weekend I did my first multi-color job on the ol' silkscreen machine. It was for the cartoon strip that I work on with Solo RM called "On The Daily"(www.onthedailychi.blogspot.com). The front had our 3 color logo and the back had our URL. We wanted to have some promo materials besides flyers for the "Sneak and Eat" event on the southside this weekend.
I ran into a couple speedbumps with the first 2 shirts, but the others were smooth sailing. Silkscreening is an exact science...if one thing is off, it could mess up your whole job. I had to deal with paint consistency, exposure times and setup, drying between colors and the cleanup of the Plastisol ink. Overall, I was happy with them and I'm ready for the next challenge.
Here are some pics for the party people...
This was a collaborative effort to start a marketing campaign for Washburn guitars with the tag line: "We Build Them, You Rock Them." This month's Guitar World 3-D collectors edition features a spread that I designed for the campaign. Stay tuned...
From time to time I am asked to do flyers for clubs/events in the city. The turn around time is insane sometimes, but I like the challenge. Here are just a few past designs for pupil perusal. More to come...
I got the chance to go to the UPROAR fest in Tinley Park a couple of weeks ago to deliver a guitar and photograph Greg Tribbett (Hellyeah/Mudvayne) for Washburn Guitars. It really wasn't my scene, but it was a good experience. I got to hang out backstage with the roadies, load up on Rockstar energy drink and stand in the pit to take live shots. Big Ups to the sound guy for hooking me up with earplugs. These were some of the approved pics...
What's up interwebs?! I finally sat down and got my blog on. Stay tuned for updates on concepts, creations and collabs coming out of the lab.
