Fab Friday 001: Oracle

It is Friday. We did it! Welcome to FAB FRIDAY!

This weekend marks the ten year anniversary of the collectors group. In those ten years we’ve all gotten quite comfortable with our expectations so I wanted to switch things up. Usually I would post some inked illustrations in the late morning and as those build over time we all would get a sense of what new merch would be coming. I want to keep that tradition going but with a new presentation. Having colored work at the ready opens up a lot of new options. In the few weeks it takes to get a new screened print I could have a few Fab Fridays posted. Moving forward, the sky is the limit. Let’s see where we end up.

This Friday we kick things off with a new piece titled: Oracle. I wanted to set out and make something that was a blend of psychedelic horror vibes. Something that is comfortable and familiar but felt fresh. I could see prints of this happening down the line but right now there are no plans. Just Fab Friday. Welcome to it.

Cherry Moth Cake is now on THREADLESS

Hello everyone!

I’ve ditched the old Teepublic shop and started a Threadless store. The launch of the Teepublic store fell flat for me when the first batch of orders were hit or miss. They were usually prompt with their service in replacing damages and misprints but I am hoping to avoid that all together. It has been a few years now and the distain I had for that launch never really went away. Sure accidents happen but I would be often reminded of things online. If it is happening to me, it is a good chance it is happening to others. Sales had been stale for a long while too. It was time.

I have ordered a few samples from Threadless this month and I do prefer the product to Teepublic. We’re excited for a fresh start on apparel. New design options will be updated each week for the foreseeable future. Plus with the arrival of Fab Friday here on our main website, it is nice to have some fresh art in the mix.

This week we are launching with a classic like Brutus and a new Moth Commander logo design. There are many styles of shirts to choose from. May we all find comfort in our preferences. Click here to check out the shop.

Fab Friday Begins April 18th!

I am pleased to announce the debut of Fab Friday!

So what is going on?

Each Friday I will be sharing new art with you. It will not be the the raw ink work that we are all familiar with through social media posts. Instead I am taking the inspiration that fuels those moments and spending a week with them. Adding things like texture, depth and color to see where the extra time takes things. I have done a few Fab Friday pieces to share already and I am keep a notebook for future ideas. Some are simpler than others. Some designs take longer so they build on the side. It has been a great exploration so far.

Maybe we’ll make a book down the road. Who knows? I mean, I tinkered with just the image for this post on and off for three weeks. I need to put it SOMEWHERE!

Things kick off April 18th. See you then.
