Once again, we’re packing up all our posters and miscellaneous goods and heading southwards to the oasis of bands, beer and BBQ that is Austin, Texas. For those of you not familiar with exactly what Flatstock is, visit here for a primer.

We always look forward to Flatstock because it gives us a chance to catch up with our peers out there in poster-makin’ land, and we always come home with tons of motivation and inspiration. Plus, we get to meet many, many nice folks who stop by to say hello and express appreciation for our work. Another fun Flatstock tradition involves making a poster to promote and/or commemorate the event, and swapping your poster for other artists’ Flatstock posters. Here’s ours, which Sara designed and printed:

So what’s new? Well, a couple of new art prints; namely a little print titled, “Box Racers”, which is going to be available only at Flatstock 8, and to those who have signed up for our 2006 subscriptions (which we still have some spots available). Why? Well, I wanted to do a very limited run piece, and I felt that our first subscription year would be a good enough excuse, plus I thought it would be neat to offer something special to all the folks who attend Flatstock to support the artists. Don’t worry; there’ll be plenty more art prints to come this year…

Like this next one, which is first in a series of bicycle-related art prints.

Also being unveiled at FS 8, is the 2nd set of Gigposters.com playing cards. We mentioned earlier that Sara is participating in this set with her design for the Four of Hearts card. These will be available at Flatstock, and through Gigposters.com. Sara’s art print, based on her card design is also available from our site.

Well, that’s about it for now… Look for many more new posters and goods from us shortly after we return, and keep checking the site periodically for new news and additions. We’ll post an aftermath report (complete with photos) when we get back.
Oh, and if you happen to make it out to Flatstock, please stop by and say hello, we’d like to meet you.

Thanks,

Brian & Sara
