thanks to ken and john at spoke art for the good time at eccccc, fun times were had by all. or by me anyways. and thanks to all of you that came out, overwhelming and amazing and memorable and a bunch of other things, all at the same time. great to put some faces to some names, and really made this con trip a memorable one.

i believe the spoke art guys will continue having some copies of the print i did throughout the next few cons they are doing, so look for that. i’ll have my copies down the road, when i have a couple things up for sale. shouldn’t be too hard to track one down.

til then, smoke em if you got them. or vape, i don’t know todays kids these days.

tis the week of the emerald city con, so if you’re heading up there, i’ll see you there. maybe. i’ll be at spoke arts booth, details here. if you’re not sure if its me or not, i basically look like this. only shorter hair.

UPDATE: in terms of signing, i don’t expect a ton of people to be there, since you have to have an eccc ticket for friday and that will already limit a number of people. those that are actually bringing prints to sign, bring as many as you want. spoke art might limit people to two signatures at first, but just get back in line for more. i really don’t expect to be actually signing from 3:30-7, more like 3:30 til 3:45. once i sign all ten people’s prints, i’ll just be shooting the breeze with the spoke guys. all that to say, i’ll sign whatever, however many. though if too much time flies between people needing things signed, i’ll probably take off, instead of just sitting there. so don’t put it off til 6:50!

speaking of seattle, read this recently. 25 years ago. seems more recent. wild.

march madness is upon us. if you’re still waiting on a poster, i believe one particular batch has been held up at some facility in the USPS, so we’re kinda waiting on that. hopefully this week they start arriving, pretty much the last of them.

in other news, friday, march 15th, i’ll be at ECCC, at spoke arts booth, signing from 3:30 to 7ish. or less time if no one shows up. i’ll have a new art print there, should be a good time. my buddy bruce will also have a signing, i believe saturday. if you’re in town bring any prints you’d like me to sign, i’ll sign whatever.

til then
- the worst planet on earth. directed by my friends Joe and Lloyd Stas, amazing work.
- saw free solo last night, enjoyed this movie climbing piece on alex honnold
- they live. or do they?
- star always wars. not to be confused with always.

i believe 99.999% of the true romance prints have shipped out. if you don’t have tracking confirmation by the end of this week, drop us an email. for those curious about the foil edition copies, they were sent out randomly, about 15 copies, and hopefully are arriving this week. i know a few are heading overseas, a few to canada. and of course here within the usa.

if i haven’t said it before, thanks for your orders and continued support, it is baffling to me that i am so fortunate to have people like you, not sure if i deserve it but i’ll take it, ha.

if anyone’s attending ECCC in mid march, i’ll be signing there at a booth, not the whole time but at least for some of the time, so this is a heads up about that.

captains log 0164

the shipping process has begun. sarah’s hoping to have everything shipped by friday, a grip of posters should be shipping each day til then, so hopefully those of you that ordered will be seeing them by next week, at least within the continental usa.

til then, i mentioned i’d post my list of favorite films of 2018, nothing revolutionary and pretty tailored to my personal likes, but here it be.

til next time -
- Tom duBois - The Man Who Drew Konami
- once upon a time in norway, making my way through this. interesting.
- paths of hate.
- luna, this doggone orca, pretty amazing.

lastly, saw this in the news and it was just a real bummer, made me sad. if anyone in the portland area comes across these paintings, hopefully they contact the authorities. just heartbreaking to lose that family connection.

edit#3: last edit (i believe): thanks for all your orders, the sale’s pretty well done. thanks again for all the support and kind words. and that’s all she wrote.

edit#2: so, new emails for a second (hopefully last) round in the lottos should be going out after 9PM PST, and those will be active throughout the night. Any leftover copies will be available tomorrow in my store, or i’ll update my site here with more info. thanks.

edit: so, just a heads up that the first round of emails have been picked and sent out. don’t give up hope though, always a few people that don’t end up picking up a print. so after 9pm tonight more emails will go out, so feel free to check this site later tonight or tomorrow.

so, i’m having an email lottery for my true romance poster. if you haven’t participated in one before, its basically a way of trying to give everyone an equal chance of picking up the print without crashing my online store. its not hilarious fun and takes considerably more work than just putting things up for sale in my store, but it’s my valentine gift to you. this way, even if you lose at the lotto, you still win by getting to keep your time and money.

hopefully it all goes well and everyone has a great valentines day. thanks.

end of january, crazy. didn’t even put together my best films of 2018. mentally i have a list though. i’ll post it.

no sale this week, in case anyone thought there would be. sarah’s still wrapping up calendar orders. of which i still have 10 left. available through tomorrow, then you’ll have to wait six months and buy one for half price, ha.

captains log 0160

so, everything has shipped. if you didn’t get a shipping notification, drop me a note, sometimes orders drop through the cracks, hate to say it, so the helpful email checkins never hurt my feelings. also, let us know if it arrived in less than good condition, all banged up, folded in half.

if anyone’s interested, i do have a few copies left available here.

special thanks to sarah for all her shipping efforts. she can now get back to her first love, making music.

til next time
- this is sick. i always thought arachnids were cgi. turns out, i was a fool.

well the calendars have arrived from the printer, so those will be going out soon. apologies on the delay. i’m pretty pleased with how they turned out, glow inks and all.

also coming up, my true romance prints have arrived, so i’ll try to sell those soon. sarah needs a bit of a break in shipping though, so it probably will be a week or two.

til then, behold the protong. i’d really like to track that book down.
- turbo kid jam, pretty nice. race to paris. caped. tons of jams.

just a heads up that sticker packs are shipping, though calendars are finishing up printing so haven’t started going out yet. if you ordered 4 or 5 sticker packs (or more), those might ship in a few different packages. if you have any questions, feel free to a drop me a note. i will keep you updated as i get more info.

til then, listen to pizza guy on repeat.

- favorite band from college? Twin Sister. incredible live. simply incredible. still got the cd.

captains log 0157

well shoot, thanks for the purchases. i actually had a boatload (official measurement of the seafolk) of stickers, so it took awhile to sell em. so i am happy about the sales. the calendar is looking good as well, slap some glow inks on this baby and boom, got yerself a lunar calendar!
still another day to purchase, but it has probably run its course. and thats ok!

if you’re hoping to present these as gifts for christmas, here are two different certificates you can download and print. let me know if they don’t work. the idea behind the lunar calendar is kinda honoring nasa and the work they do. you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to work there….but it helps. boom, tshirt idea.

in terms of pros and cons, i’ll let them fly to their new homes before revealing them, but there should be twelve (or is it 13???) of them, plus variants of each, so get your checklists ready. i had fun with them. each series typically has 6 characters, so this is Series VI and Series VII. hopefully they prove to be fun to mix and match.

til then, KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES.
ps saw spiderman into the spiderverse and man o man, possible best movie of the year for me.

hi all, thanks for visiting. i’m probably forgetting something due to lack of sleep, but i have stickerpacks for sale, as well as lunar calendar preorders. click here to purchase.

edit: thanks for the orders, much appreciated. working on that sticker certificate now, as well as the lunar calendar certificate.

also, i’ve heard that certain browsers are having issues with bigcartel, my apologies. in particular, chrome. so, if you’re having trouble, that might be a fix, switching browsers. or we can send you a paypal invoice.

let me know if you have any questions. thanks!

captains log 0155

i’ve had a few questions about that true romance print. i’ll have my copies for sale once i get them in hand, definitely after christmas. if you’re on my mailing list, you’ll get the notice.

i’ll also have a sticker pack sale and lunar calendar sale (i hope). just finishing up the calendar, which delays the rest. classic ty.

til then, make sure you wish this guy a happy birthday on saturday, he finally qualifies for social security!

edit#2: the counters have arrived at a consensus. we didn’t remove/disqualify any comments, just due to the nature of this being a pretty loose contest, i didn’t specify big rules. so going by each comment being a number, the four counters agreed on -

90: Emmanuel A / 173: Brett / 288: Jeremy Adams / 319: Arkadiusz Wisniewski - so if you’re one of these people, drop me an email. i’ll go through the comments and try to find you as well, but if you read this and want to make it easy, email me.

edit: so i have four people going through finding these numbers, i picked four just due to the amount of entries. i’m sure i can find four damaged prints. these four people aren’t aware of each other, so we should be able to get a impartial consensus. that’s the hope. all for damaged prints, i tell ya!

til then, enjoy this holiday season with some non-seasonal links.
- these faces, isn’t that something?
- the reason alien covenant dropped the ball, isn’t that something?
- ronald reagan, wasn’t he something?
- True Romance cut scene with Jack Black, that was something!
- this instagram teaser that people emailed me about, something!?

also, i have a person who has emailed me a few times looking for this print, let me know if you have it and are interested in selling, i’ll put you in touch. its such a specific print, done so long ago, i’d like to help him find it. anywho.

captains log 0153

so, shipping has completed, if you don’t have tracking on your orders, plus let us know.

thanks again for all your orders and for helping me look like a normal business person in front of sarah. she has her doubts, believe me.

hopefully next week we’ll have some smaller items for sale. will update as i know more.
til then -
- this greatest showman wasn’t the best movie of 2017, but i gotta say, amazing soundtrack. talk about chemistry.
- Y2K aesthetic. turns out, the decade that time forgot actually did have a style. not a good one, but still.
- crazy cool tom and jerry sculptures. interesting hellboy article about the mignola empire.

sad to hear one of brush prairie’s own - Army 1st Sgt. Eric M. Emond - lost his life serving, wanted to take a moment to give thanks to him and his family for his service. hard news to bear.

EDIT: so, on this artprint, the edtion is 114, which was kinda a reference to this. i mistakenly said the edition was 100, so if you purchased and that extra 14 is killing ya, let us know and we can get your money back. and actually since none of these have shipped, we can always refund all the way up til shipping, if you change your mind. also, i’ve had two emails from people recently that ordered way back in july whose posters never arrived, lost within the gears of the us postal service. if your order never arrived, please email us, we always want to know, no matter how long its been.

posters are packing up and shipping this week, so hopefully you receive shipping notice, let us know if you haven’t received one by december 3rd. thanks again for the emails and orders, hopefully new stuff on the horizon.

til then, some links that i thought were neat.
- wes anderson color palettes
- burger king ad. yep, makes sense.
- aliens comic versions, in order of readability. supposedly.
- enter the ninja. one of the better death scenes.
- this sums up my career in some ways. in a fun way? maybe.
- i hate this. and now you can too.

captains log 0151 - poster sale

updated edit: looks like the sale has ended, appreciate the orders, sorry i wasn’t given more prints to sell, with many properties i’m only allowed x amount to sell. i do appreciate all your interest. i’ll have another big print in less than a month, plus another few odds and ends that hopefully are a little less limited. thanks again for the kind words. sarah loves reading through all your emails.

—————————————————————

so, i have some posters for sale. my Isle of Dogs print for Spoke Art Gallery, my Phish poster for their austin show, another artprint. They’ll be dropping here, not exactly all at once, but just close enough to spread em out, give em each their own moment in the sun.

we’re limiting people to one copy of each thing. so one isle of dogs print. one phish print. one artprint. you can buy a dogs print and a phish print for instance, but not a regular and variant isle of dogs print. if that makes sense.

as always, appreciate your support, email me at info@tstout.com with questions.
