In a few days I’ll be flying out to Riverside to attend Sea No Evil. I am very excited for this since this is the second year of being involved. This show is a donation based show and these pieces are among the few I’m contributing. Go and bid.!
Check out the Artist Roster for this event! It is one of those ‘FTW’ moments.
You can check out all the pieces at my little secret spot: Hydro74′s Secret Shit
Over the past few months I’ve been working with Tian, Elizabeth & Neo over at Flat Fitty on some samples. I’m not a hat developer by any means, but really enjoyed doing these up. There will be a small stock of these available, but will keep the limited. If all goes to plan, I should have a nice little Flat Fitty Display going on with a solo gallery show I’m planning for September. More info to come.
In the mean time. Check out my secret tumblr for better images and other works: Hydro74′s Secret Shit
Dan from Vahalla Studios shot me a image that he took over at the Myspace Offices. This is pretty amazing. I’m always pretty happy to hear it when a client likes the work, and not only that, creates a nice display like this to feature the work.
Go see a few more shots from inside Myspace over at Vahalla Studios.
This year for ASR & Sea No Evil I wanted to develop something to nice to hand out to give to a few clients and friends alike. The goal was to create something that best defined the work I do, but still not be so over the top. So this year I decided mini silk screen sets and sticker packs would be the best route. I think they are pretty rad. I’ll make sure I hold enough sets back for any one who wants to order!
If you are attending either event, let me know. I will only bring a limited amount of prints & sticker packs.
Here are the two vendors I used.
If you need stickers: Sticker Robot
If you need silk screen prints: Vahalla Studios
Over the last few years I’ve gotten to know Ryan from I Want Your Skull digitally (email) as he seemed to consistently promote various skull pieces I’ve illustrated as well as invites to his little books he did. His uncanny ability to make friends and support great artist was secondary to his to the appreciation he gave designers & illustrators.
Ryan recently passed away due to a accident which you can read more on here: Ryan & I Want Your Skull
He was a friend and someone I admired. This feeling has left me with a great sadness since he was a major part of this design community, and all his efforts and passions will be missed.
To assist his family in this time of the unknown, I want to offer up a collection of various pieces as a donation to assist his family with any funds it might need. This set includes some rare pieces and one offs. You can make a bid here:

I will cover shipping costs and have final bid directly give to Ryan’s wife’s paypal. My heart goes out to Ryan’s wife and child.
