We could hear people cheering and cars honking in the streets below as the television confirmed that Obama had won the election. Hundreds of people were pouring into the streets to celebrate the victory. We rushed to join them...
Skateboards and flags, High-five'n cops, kids up every light pole cheering.. wow.
Since returning from poster shows in Hamburg and Tilburg NL, I have been working on a 3D book of the drawings from the sketchbook that I took with. These are in-progress, but close to finalized. Here's the full layout (in spreads) of the book to come.. 3D glasses will help :)

First Annual Treasure Island Music Festival ||| Sept 15 & 16
This was a pretty cool event. Lots of great music both days and they scheduled it so that the music alternated between the 2 stages so there was always someone on and no overlap. I had a booth both days all day.
Here's a nice couple mesmerized by 1950s 3-d technology revisited as the screen printed gigposter poster. (newsreel voice)
This festival was a lot of fun.. I wonder if I was a carny in a past life.
Some drying carnivalized skeleton mono prints for the Summer of Love and Treasure Island Noise Pop events that are coming up. It was a beautiful evening here. I was on the roof of the building spray painting fluorsecent backgrounds using a cut-out print for a stencil.
