Check out the cover we recently finished for our buddies The Showdown. The new record, Blood In The Gears, has a very gritty, Southern, biker sound to it, so that's exactly what we went for. That's me in the jacket, and there's no Photoshop magic here- we had the back patch made just for the cover. Ride to live...

21 years after my first class with Mrs. George, my high school art teacher, I'm coming back to say hi. She was/is an amazing teacher and played a large role for me in pursuing art as a career. Because of that, I thought it would be fun to create a poster for the occasion. Looking forward to catching up after 17 years.

The sun is shining in Seattle and it appears that spring has come a bit early (if you're local, you're just as thankful as us). We also happen to have a ton of posters sitting in flat files that we'd like to send to you kind people. So, it occured to us that this would be a perfect time to slash prices (most posters $8-$10) and make room for some new art. We've been making posters for 8 years now and decided to put many in the 'blowout bin' until they are gone. Grab them now as this sale will only last a few weeks.

As 2010 is quickly approaching with new projects and new ideas, we didn't want to neglect 2009 in this Holiday rush. It's been our best year yet (It seems like we get to say that every year) at the IC and we just wanted to say THANK YOU. To our beloved clients, those who purchase our work in various ways, our faithful blog subscribers (almost 10K feeds?!), our Twitter followers, our extremely talented and inspiring peers who push us every day, and everyone else who has dropped us a comment or thrown love our way. We are extremely thankful (especially in this economy) to be doing what we love for a living. It's so much fun to "work" here - and we have many, many people to thank for that. Merry Christmas + Happy New Year to you all ...

Grain Edit (Dave Cuzner and crew) have been very generous to us over the years - responsible for putting our work in front of many fresh faces. So when they asked if we'd like to create GE's first ever T-shirt design, we quickly obliged. As many of you know, Dave has quite the book collection (we've been known to collect a few over here as well), so the idea of a few critters lending an ear to a story about our favorite blog seemed quite fitting. And with today's announcement from The Times, the story seems that much sweeter.

Sorry we're a little late on this info. With the new site launch, we lost a little time preparing for the holiday shipping rush. For U.S. residents, our cut-off day for ordering will be Monday, December 21st. For international orders, you might want to place your order now. We definitely can't guarantee it will arrive by Christmas, but we will try. Our next shipping day is this Tuesday, December 15th. Thank you for your support and patience! Happy Holidays!

Oh - and we'll be including a FREE IC button set with each order through the new year!

After 3+ years and countless new projects, we felt like it was time to give our site a makeover. And just like on Oprah, some things remain the same but many were given a significant upgrade. As you take a stroll around, you'll see what we mean. One of the big changes is that the work, shop and blog are all contained in one nice little package for your viewing needs. Another is that you get to see our work much quicker, with access points all over the homepage. We have gotten a few comments from peeps that were hoping for an html iPhone-friendly version. After much consideration on our part, we felt like the vast majority of our demographic would NOT be viewing it on a mobile device. However, that version may be something to consider if the demand is there. We aren't David Lynch, but the work just looks better on an actual computer.

Many, many thanks to JD at Gridplane and Instrument for making this happen. Oh, and please e-mail us if you encounter any glitches as we are still attempting to sort all of that out.

We're extremely honored to be part of Grain Edit's Holiday Giveway Bash! featuring incredible art and collectibles from peers, friends and heroes. We're donating two 16" x 16" Giclee prints as well as our new Winter Fishing Hole! Gift Card from Target loaded with $25 to buy your uncle that Die Hard DVD he's been wanting or the ear muffs your dog has been hinting at. If we could enter, we would! Winners announced December 18th.

When Nonsek asked us if we'd like to open an IC artist channel, we took a gander at their current roster and quickly said "mmmmkay". If you haven't played around with their super-cool custom T-shirt remix madness, do yourself a favor and check it out. Infinite options! And now you can choose shirt colors and even lock layers that you dig.

You know what I'm thinking? This could make a REALLY great gift. Just sayin' ...

Coalesce is graciously allowing us to sell a limited run of the 'Art Of OX' art print sets.

The 'Art Of OX' art print set features 12 hand printed, frameable 8 " x 8" prints. Each set comes in a wax sealed envelope, and are signed and numbered. We have been given 45 sets to distribute through IC. Of these 45 sets, 35 are printed on black stock with silver ink, the remaining 10 sets are printed on brick red stock with dark red ink and will be randomly distributed.

And don't forget, the album drops this Tuesday.
