This particular print is very special to me. I constantly encounter sexism and misogyny, both personally and professionally. Every female artist probably has at least one story about the fans that are too creepy or who make inappropriate comments. Some of us, myself included, refrain from posting photos of ourselves online to try and avoid sexist comments and objectification. I commonly encounter clients who are wildly inappropriate, with questions like “are you barren” and comments that are borderline harassment. Even at events it is assumed that my husband is “the artist” because why would a woman be the artist? There is not enough time to detail how often, and how offensive, this can be. “Rapunzel” is a reply to these behaviors, and is my way of highlighting the need for women to stand up, take control, and speak out and for men to support all the ladies as well. Men, step the fuck up. And ladies, kick ass and don’t apologize. - Erica
The Wrong Path print is a recognition of the challenges anyone championing environmental responsibility face as well as a comment on the potentially disastrous consequences of the shortsighted policies of Trump’s current administration. The president pulled the United States out of the Paris Climate Accord and appointed Scott Pruitt as head of the Environmental Protection Agency when he had a record of opposing environmental regulation and suing the EPA! We need to consider the consequences of transferring the baggage of irresponsible environmental policies to future generations. – ShepardWrong Path Large Format. 47.5 x 33.5 inches. 5 color screenprint on cream 100% cotton archival paper with hand-deckled edges.

I’ve been so moved by the response to this poster from the people of Rio. To those doing the hard and dangerous work of fighting for your humanity and ability to exist, I send my love and deep appreciation. Myself and my studio partners will take your lead and use my art to support you in whatever way you find use for it. - RaviBecause of the response to this image, Ravi will create an edition of screen printed fine-art posters without the Pearl Jam show information. These will be donation-based and all profits will go to local organizations in Rio’s favelas.
"Since this project is to help people who are suffering from water in Flint, I wanted to use this image of a girl with spirit of water. Like the angel of water; she is chilling in the glass of water. Water should be free and clean for everyone, we are all part of nature. I was working on this print throughout February hand coloring one by one, and it was period of Aquarius, zodiac sign, which is the symbol of the water server. I also discovered that the word Aquarius actually referred to the public water system in ancient Rome. When I discovered what happened with the Flint Water Crisis I couldn’t believe that it was happening now, and I am very furious about how government cannot do anything with it. Shame, why people in ancient times were able to provide clean water to everyone but not in Michigan in 2018?" - AikoThe Pink variant has an edition of 35.
Sometimes you have to wonder if everyone is born with a functioning brain. Countless accounts of semi-automatic weapon attacks are making us numb in the United States. Australia fixed this same problem with only one attack…they just had the courage to make that right change. The greedy and stubborn nature of the NRA and the people who support it needs to be stopped. For the first time I feel a turning of the tides due to the brave students from Florida who have given the youth a voice. Their words make politicians and world leaders seem as though they are out of touch with the times and needs of America. Despite these strong words I remain optimistic that good will always win in the end… no matter the cost.The print is 24" x 16" Fluorescent Lithograph
"The 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure' poster has finally been revealed! Excellent! Much like my first poster in this set (Bogus Journey), this took me quite some time. It was always the plan to make two posters that could stand on their own but also work in a set.Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure - Regular Edition - $50
I deliberately wanted these posters to feel "electric" in my lines, and over all style of rendering. So I had to revisit a style of drawing I hadn't visited in a over almost 2 years (2 Years....whoa...) but also make it feel lighter, friendlier and more playful. I love this film with my whole heart. I really have these films to thank for inspiring a young kid to create.
I hope fans of these movies can see the love behind these posters, as I made them for the true B&T fans, like myself.
Much thanks to Skuzzles for allowing me to spend as much time as I did with Bill S. Preston and Ted Theodore Logan.Wyld Stallyns Rules!"
The accelerated melting of the Arctic, caused by human impact and global warming, threatens the survival of polar bears and iconic marine life like beluga whales. Polar bears need ice to walk, hunt and feed their young. If there is no ice there is no rest, no food, and extinction crawls closer.The melting of sea ice forces them to swim for hundreds of miles, which poses a great risk to the cubs.
This artwork is a representation of a mural I painted in Churchill, Manitoba (Canada) for PangeaSeed Foundation's Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans program. Churchill is considered the polar bear capital of the world and the mural represents the forced journey of a family of bears and belugas in their last winter on earth. The cub grabs its treasured iceberg treasure, which helps the family to escape from the destructive impact humans are having on the Earth.
