Now that's what I'm talking about! Can't wait for my Banana Stand set!

Hey Ken, before I forget to ask, what's the status on the Spoke Shirts that were previewed awhile back?

Just got confirmation from Ken, shortly followed by a shipping notification for all three prints ordered. In the words of Ice Cube, "Today was a good day."

Excellent question!

As you're already well aware, we really try to go above and beyond on every show, release and project that we do. We've just gotten in our custom printed Spoke Art garment tags for the shirts, and are now waiting on the custom hang tags. As we're screen printing the shirts ourselves here in our warehouse (with water based inks no less) my rough estimate would be that the shirts will be ready for official release in mid to late March. Regardless, they're on their way!

Hey, if any of you are Redditors and have a minute to go upvote the spoke-art link over on r/thesimpsons it would be cool to spread the word to a new community.

Hey everyone!
Just got back from my sponsored talk at the University of Hawai'i. I absolutely hate public speaking, but a week in Hawai'i I just couldn't say no to!

A very big thank you to everyone who purchased the recent Tim Doyle time release print, we're expecting these to arrive at the warehouse by next Friday and hope to have all orders fulfilled and shipped out within a week of getting them in!

I missed a few PMs while out of town, if you ever have to get in touch and it's urgent, just shoot an email to the gallery, we've got someone there five days a week and they can usually sort out your request! My apologies to anyone who had to wait a few extra days for a response, all PMs have been answered!

Thanks again for all the support EB! We've got some amazing new prints coming up, including a new Caia Koopman tomorrow and a new Brett Amory in a couple weeks, woot!

New fine art print by Caia Koopman released today.
Edition of 100, 18"x24", COA, deckled edges, signed and numbered.

Only 25 copies left in stock, so as a warning, I expect these to be sold out by the end of the day!
