Such a shame they aren't screen prints. Surely they were made for that!

Either way, really awesome.

I love screen prints like nobody's business, my collection shows that. But I have recently been introduced to the world of the Fine art giclee, starting with Harrisons "My Neighbor Jake" and Drew Millwards "No more dungeon". I swore Id never buy a poster that could just as well be Justin Bieber. Then I did Some research and found out that Aaron Horkey Did a giclee for Mondo back in the early days called "Dead Man". I asked my buddy who owned one to let me see it and I was floored, and hooked http://tinyurl.com/dyynobd.

I couldn't find a My Neighbor Jake" under $200 so I bought a "No more dungeon" by Millward. I took some hi res photos and Drew Liked then so much he wanted to tweet about them and even put them on his facebook page. http://tinyurl.com/clr4nvx and there is more info here http://drewmillward.com/2012/archives/375

But the art on both of these are in a league of their own.

Swung by Alex Pardee's Zerofriends studio today and printed some new shirts on their new printer.....

Our first line of Artist Series Apparel (Oliver Barrett) did really well and the response has been great from fans. Attendees of tomorrow night's Warriors screening at the Castro will get first glimpse at the second Artist Series, starring the one and only Brandon Schaefer, limited to only 150 shirts per design.

Awesome design, and that's from a printer? Holy Macheral...

Does anyone know if there were any extra Warriors posters left over that might possibly show up online?

I'm just speculating, but I'd guess there will be Warriors prints online this week. At the few Castro x Spoke Art screenings I've gone to I've seen a lot of people buying prints, but not to the point of selling out. The Spoke Art blog says the remainder should go up online this week, though not what day. It's been Monday but maybe will be later due to the holiday. Maybe Ken will stop by this thread and updates us.

Hypebeast, the world's biggest culture website published a feature and interview with me today! I've been reading Hypebeast religiously since the early 2000s and couldn't be more honored. Sorry for the shameless plug, but as a longtime sneakerhead this is a big deal for me personally!

It's a great interview with some really insightful questions, so if you've ever been curious about Spoke's humble beginnings, or what our ethics are behind the gallery, give it a read and let me know what you think! - http://hypebeast.com/2012/05/hypebeast- ... t-gallery/

Give him about 45-50 years.

Nice spread.
