My Summer Surprise Tube Sale is back! 

    For one low price, you get a bare minimum of 5 screenprinted posters of my choosing.

   Click HERE to purchase your surprise tube today!
 

   Due to the fantastic response and happy customers from my last one day sale, I have scheduled another one day sale for Friday, July 10th.

    For that day only, every item in my DWITT Etsy Store  will have a reduced price.  That includes original poster art, original paintings and drawings (many from the recent 'Naturally' exhibition with Christopher Bowman), limited edition art prints and posters, and one of a kind monoprints. It is a great chance for you to pick up some original art from me that may have been just out of your budget before, and its a chance to show my appreciation to all of you who have supported me. My five year anniversary of being a full time artist is coming up in September, and I'll plan another event to commemorate that.

Howdy everyone! Hope your summer is blossoming into one for the ages.  This coming Sunday, June 14th, myself and 7 other Twin Cities poster designers will be gathered at Magers and Quinn booksellers in Uptown Minneapolis to celebrate the release of the book Gig Posters Volume 1. We'll all have a table set up selling our own posters and prints, and we encourage all of you to pick up a copy of the book. Mr. Clay Hayes of Gigposters.com did one helluva fine job putting this book together. The event goes from 6-9pm on sunday, so stop by and say hello!

 Magers & Quinn Booksellers and GigPosters.com present a release party and poster sale to celebrate the publication of Gig Posters Volume I

Magers and Quinn Booksellers hosts a poster sale by 8 Minneapolis designers. Come browse the aisles as we display assorted screen-printed works from these talented concert poster artists throughout the store. The Minneapolis poster artists are:

• Aesthetic Apparatus
• DWITT
• Squad 19
• Adam Turman
• Tooth
• Amy Jo
• Lonny Unitus
• Burlesque of North America

These are the artists responsible for the yearly success of the “Poster Offensive,” SXSW’s “Flatstock.” and One on One Bike Shop’s “Artcrank.“ Come meet them in the comfortable confines of the Twin Cities’ largest independent bookstore. As an added bonus, Magers & Quinn’s entire selection of music books will be an additional 10% off all day Sunday, June 14.

An oversized 11-by-14-inch paperback, Gig Posters Volume I is a spectacular compilation of rock show art (and a great way to decorate a dorm room or apartment). The book, available in June, features eight designers and design collectives from the Twin Cities and showcases artwork created for First Avenue, 7th Street Entry, 400 Bar, Triple Rock Social Club and music venues all across North America.

Gig Posters Volume I includes 101 perforated and ready-to-hang posters along with hundreds of other poster images and designer biographies. GigPosters.com was created and is maintained by Clay Hayes who resides in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The website launched in January, 2001. Showcasing the worlds largest historical gig poster archive, this massive online art gallery is home to thousands of designers from around the world.

 

  On Wednesday, June 3rd, three new art prints go on sale here in my store.  All three are included in the 'Naturally' exhibition, and were all collaborations with Christopher Bowman as well. Get copies for yourself tomorrow!

 

 

  Enormous thanks to all who came out on Saturday night for the opening reception of 'Naturally'. Christopher and I are grateful and are very excited about the response, solidifying in our minds that we should definitely do more work together. 'Naturally' continues this weekend, open saturday and sunday noon-5, so if you missed it, there is still a chance to see our collection of new work, totalling 184 pieces comfortably stuffed into the Back Alley Gallery.

   

Greetings everyone! My weekend was spent with my friend Christopher Bowman making art around the clock for our upcoming gallery exhibiiton titled 'Naturally'. Pictured below is the b/w fler we made as well as our postcard image (we have a screenprinted poster in the works too):

 

The exhibition will feature our solo work as well as collaborative efforts, one of those efforts being a painting larger than either of us has made in over 10 years.  We're excited about it, and hope you will all come out to see it on May 30th.

  On Monday, April 27th, I will have a brand new poster going on sale that I created for Chuck Palahniuk's book tour promoting his new novel 'Pygmy'. It will ONLY be on sale here in my store, and for those of you living on the east coast and plan on attending the events, order quickly and I can have copies sent to you in time to have Chuck sign them at the shows.

    I also have a few copies left of the first poster I created for Chuck, available in the 2008 poster section of my store... 

 

 

  Also be sure to swing by the Back Alley Gallery this weekend during the St. Paul Art Crawl.  I'll be there with plenty of prints, drawings, and good spirits.

   First off, I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to all who took part in my one day sale through my Etsy.com store.  Due to the success of this first sale, I will definitely plan on doing another later this year. Again, thank you!

     My first ever banner add is now up and running at Gigposters.com. Check it out!

 

     I also recently reprinted and updated a favorite art print of mine, 'Coffee Makes Life Livable'.  This new edition has an updated design, and is printed on 100lb. brown speckletone paper.  Buy a copy now in the Art Print section of my Store!

     Finally, the St. Paul Art Crawl is back!  Happening this weekend, Friday April 24th ( 6-10pm), Saturday April 25th (noon-8pm), and Sunday April 26th (noon-5pm).  As always, I will be in the Back Alley Gallery (262 E 4th St, studio #LL2) for the entire weekend, selling prints, posters, drawings and painting with my friends. Join the party and have a great weekend with us.

 

  Ladies and gentlemen, fans, critics, patrons, clients, friends and family... Mark your calendars! For one day only, Friday April 17th, 2009, everything in my ETSY.com store will be marked down. Some items as much as 50%.  Drawings, paintings, original poster art, posters, and art prints.  The whole shebang!

    Since MANY of the items are one of a kind, supplies will be extremely limited, and fortune will smile upon those with good timing and decisive action.  Good luck, and enjoy!
 

   This friday at the Triple Rock, local hip hop group Kill The Vultures celebrate the release of their new album 'Ecce Beast'.  I created this poster for them (inspired by lyrics from the album), which will go on sale in my store on Saturday the 11th.

 

Flatstock 20 was a wild time and solid success. But that party is over and now its time to get back to the grind.  Posters for Kill The Vultures, Fatty Acid, Ben Weaver, and the Skullcranes are all on the way this coming month.  Also coming up fairly soon is the St. Paul Art Crawl, and the Back Alley Gallery will be bringing our A-game.

   Next weekend you should come out to the Back Alley Gallery to check out this show:

 

For more details check out Peter's website. 

  After days of sweating out poster after print after comic book page after coloring book entry, I sit here before you ready and terribly excited to head down to Austin Texas before the crack of tomorrow's dawn and man my booth at Flatstock 20 in the Austin Convention Center.

    First, a few things.  All orders made from my store up to this moment have been shipped. Any orders starting now won't be dealt with until i return home on Tuesday, March 24th. 

This little delight of a print, titled 'Beanbugs Trippin', will go on sale on Friday, March 27th...

...until next time... Rock Lobster! 

   Two new art prints are on sale today: 'Echo' and 'Inspiration Strikes' respectively...

  

  ...both available now in the Art Print section of my STORE. 

  In 15 short days, the DWITT caravan heads south for the annual SXSW/Flatstock circus in lovely Austin, TX.  I must summon herculean strength to accomplish all the tasks I have laid out for myself: Comic book deadlines, band logos, art prints, book submissions, print exchange pieces, and some kind of booth display...

   But first, have I got a deal for you!  While supplies last, with every purchase of 3 items or more from my STORE, you will receive a FREE copy of my 3 color Slipknot poster. Unless you are a subscriber, this is the ONLY way to get a copy of the Slipknot poster since it will NOT be available for sale on its own.  That's any three prints, so it can be posters or art prints. Mix, match, and be merry!

I've got five new posters in the bag, three of them (Ben Weaver, Eclectone Records Showcase and Witch pictured below) are now on sale in my STORE

 

and in addition to all of the posters I have been doing lately, I have also begun a new series of paintings titled, 'Angel Deconstructions'. Check my Etsy store regularly to buy one for yourself or someone you know who needs an angel...

 

  Busy times here in the studio! Of course, in two weeks is the BAG's first show of the year, 'Bitter', where I will have some new drawings and paintings. I am also hard at work on a new comic for Lerner Publishing, and this month will see 6, yes 6, new screenprinted posters for the following folks: Slipknot, Ben Weaver, Witch, Eclectone Records showcase, Round 13 records tour, and Flatstock 20. In addition to that I am doing a painting for a group show hosted by Spraygraphic, as well as a print for the Independent Record Store Day print show taking place in three cities simultaneously (more on that later since it's in April).

    For any of you out there interested in  buying some t-shirts with my designs on them, check these out:  Dead To Fall (Chum Fiesta, Arthropodan Eroticism, and Brainmelter designs, and great prices too!),  Havok (the Slither, Out of Control, Shred, Furious, and Shattered designs). 

 And also a reminder that besides my Store right here on my website,  I welcome you to shop my Etsy.com store where I have many original drawings and paintings for sale. One of a kind goodies that will bring endless joy to your life, and I add new work on a weekly basis. And while I am gratuitously pitching my wares, those of you that don't want to miss a single print that I do, I offer a subscription, which gets you one of every print I create between August 2008 - August 2009. You can see the details HERE

  One last thing, my DWITT.com Gallery is quickly coming to life. It will soon be stocked with all kinds of images from the work I have been doing over the last several years, from Fine Art, to Illustration work, and my comics.

 Enjoy! 

Me and my fellow cohorts at the Back Alley Gallery have cooked up a deliciously wicked first show for the BAG's 2009 schedule. I, along with the BAG members and some friends, will all have new work for the show.  And despite the sour theme of the exhibition, expect the opening reception to be nothing short of joyous.

 

  Hello, and WELCOME to the return of DWITT.com!!

   Despite nothing happening to my website for close to four years, I have been a busy bee in the studio, producing work for video games, comic books, editorial illustrations, album artwork, t-shirt designs,  gigposters, art prints, and fine art... to name just a few of my endeavours.

Please look around, shop my store, and check back here frequently as I will have regular updates and new work posted in the gallery and store!  2009 is already looking to a busy year.

  Cheers!
