FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Those books are done.

And man, I’d love to show you three covers. So proud. Can’t just yet. Will when I can.

-All images are in place.
-All illustrations illustrated.
-All overprinting checked and double-checked.
-The spelling is tighter than a fiddle string. Punctuation, too.
-Bleeds at .125”. Tight and right.
-Nothing spotty about the spot colors.
-Not a double space to be found.
-No widows.
-No bad rags.
-Couple sketchy moments with ink density, but oh well.

Checkmate.

It’s time to make some some PDFs and ship this bastard batch to exotic lands, across oceans.

COMING UP BLANK: The “Z” logo above, well, I’ve got no idea what it’s from, who made it or where it belongs. I can tell you this much: It’s from “Murray’s Archive” and that’s all I know. Real professional, I know. Sure is nice, though. The kind of stuff that stops me in my tracks.

WELL, HELL, THAT JUST MIGHT BE A FIRST: A kid in Jamestown, New York gets a logo I made tattooed on his arm. Wow. That shit’s for life, man. We’re here to tell you that logo will stand the test of time.

If you need some shred gear, and are in the greater jamestown, New York area, we can’t think of a better place to stock up that Suburban Blend. Ask for Pete. One hell of a guy. (Thanks for sending that shot in, Billy! Mucun appreciated, man.)

TOMORROW NIGHT: The Road. Been waiting for this one for way too long. Hell, I’m pretty sure they made the thing over two years ago, now. I remember Forgash talking about working on it here in Portland, and going fishing with Viggo and shit. And man, that was a long time ago, back when I used to like Forgash. How times have changed.
