While I was on my August vacation in the great American Southwest, my English Beat, Reel Big Fish poster won Expresso Beans Poster of the Week.
I called my friend George Gamboa pool-side from the Motel 6 in Hurricane, Utah – along the way in my adventure – just to get a “Firehouse Progress Report.” George told me I got POTW. Of course I couldn’t see for myself until today. Two Posters of The Week in one month – I’m really happy. Thanks everyone!
That’s a very nice welcome home. I’ll post some pictures soon and update y’all on my adventures. Me and my girlfriend Nancy had a great trip!
Here’s a link to my original post for my English Beat, Reel Big Fish poster with ordering information.
Down, Melvins, Weedeater and Danava played in San Francisco, California at The Regency on Friday, August 14, 2009 – it was more RAWK than can fit on one hairy Neanderthal hand!
Lovingly printed with Dinosaur-juice at Hangar 18 comes the latest in the Firehouse Goldenvoice series. To commemorate my use of oil-based inks made from petroleum by-products, here’s a tip of the hat to the Extinction of the Oil Industry and the friendly dinos who died for art.
I designed and printed this 5 color silkscreen gig poster with Cro-Magnon skill, using metallic tints and translucent layers, simply by employing my nimble opposable thumbs. Drag one of these home to your grotto before they go extinct – So Easy Even a Caveman Can Do it.

There’s a spirit in the air that inspired me to take a 1930′s era WPA Project poster for the Milk Industry and détourné it’s message to get people to the Moonalice show in Sebastopol, California at The Hop Monk Tavern on August 14, 2009.
Moonalice legend says that drinking Howling Monkey or Hop Monk’s fine beer while listening to Moonalice in the good clean air of Northern California leads to Good Teeth, Vitality, Endurance & Strong Bones!
In addition to these words of wisdom from Moonalice legend, let’s read what the wikipedia says:
• “In détournement, an artist reuses elements of well-known media to create a new work with a different message, often one opposed to the original. The term “détournement”, borrowed from the French, originated with the Situationist International; a similar term more familiar to English speakers would be “turnabout” or “derailment”. Détournement is similar to satirical parody, but employs more direct reuse or faithful mimicry of the original works rather than constructing a new work which merely alludes strongly to the original.”
