A Tale of Two Sales

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

This Saturday June 11, 2011 marks a very special day here at Minus Industries. I will quite literally be selling my wares and showing my art ALL DAY. Yup, that's right ALL DAY. From dawn until dusk.

The first sale will be the monthly Handmade Mafia Market from 10AM - 3PM at the Strathcona Baptist Church (8318 - 104 Street).

The second sale will be at the Al Fresco - 4th Street Block Party (104 Street Downtown North of Jasper Ave) from 5PM - 10PM.

This promises to be a busy day and will be my first time participating in a Block Party. I am pretty excited... You should come... Good times to be had by all... I will post more info as I get it.

Murder By Death

Murder By Death are one of my favourite bands in the entire world. Their albums are spectacular and their live show is something to behold. So when they held a contest to design the art for their split 7" with The Builders and the Butchers, even though I had semi retired from entering contests, I jumped at the chance. Unfortunately, as with all the contests that I enter... I lost... that is why I stopped entering so many contests and why it takes something really special to draw me out of my self imposed entering contests retirement. However, in this case, the winners are quite deserving and therefore I don't feel bad at all. I gave it my best shot. I worked long and hard on these and am really proud of how well they turned out. They look stunning in person. They were all made using spray stencils and silver foil on a reclaimed album cover.
