iv'e been a fan of silverstein for a while and only seen them a hand full of times. i met some of the dudes a few years back when they were on tour with rise against and come back kid. I did a poster for that show when the tour hit green bay, wi. so when paul said he would be down to see something drawn up for this tour, i was super stoked.

  here is a shitty pic of the printed poster. the colors on this print are vibrant and the purple really pops of the black paper.
i may need a new camera.

oh yeah... this is my favorite print that i did sofar. i'm happy with the artwork / hand drawn type style and i got the reg on lock for this print. plus it's for SILVERSTEIN.....DUH!

and.....i did print this with a broken wrist but my cast held up and it ended up being all good.

    i don't think that chadd had really anything to do with me breaking my wrist. or maybe he did. he was film'n me at the time for the new F.O.G video. hopefully the video will drop soon or by the end of 09. this video will showcase the best skateboarding from north eastern wisconsin. there is a kick ass intro that my friend KOUBA aka "the professor"  designed for the vid by useing his mad video illo tech skillz.
  my broke'n wrist really slowed things down here at the cease robot art studio. hopefully this will heal quickly and i can get the ball roll'n again with printing and other crap.
 til then my friends....stay metal and stay healthy!!

being a collector and a printer, i love the entire piece of art and i love the details even more. here are some of mine.

here's the most recent print i did for THE BLACK LIPS show in milwaukee. the white fibers that you see are from the 100% recycled paper that i use. this paper is BLACK but looks grey on the pic

PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS....2006

you gotta see this print in real life. i'm super stoked on how it turned out.
REVIVAL TOUR 2008

THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM....again...white fibers=poo picture

BANG BANG on textured card tock

and here is a detailed image of a print that i may do in the very near future.....i hope

 there will only be a small amount of this print ran. first come...first serve. so when you get to the venue..... make sure you run past the bar and go straight to the merch table to pick one of these up.

if you are going to do a colabrative print with someone, make sure that they are way better at draw'n crap than you are (that way you can mooch off there skillz). here is a poster that is designed by Tamara from NO GUTS NO GLORY and myself. although this project was kinda rushed, it was still really fun to work with her.  we may do a "artprint" together in the future.

 this poster was also selected as POSTER OF THE WEEK on  http://www.gigposters.com/

 i went sk8'n last nite w/ a few friends and we took a few pics. i wanted to get a good pic of my friend chad doing a front50nosegrab down the escalater in the bowl. since i was lay'n in the bottom of the bowl, i kindly asked chad not to hit me. of course..he bails from his 1st attempt and torpedos his board straight into brown eye. WTF!!!!! and if that wasn't enuff...he later through a wheel at me and hit me in the face.

here is a poster that i designed for THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM's uk/european tour. you would think the image would have that "59" look. yeah i know...right. i am lucky enough to stick to my own style and and have TGA and their manager all be down with this print.
 we all know that TGA kicks ass, but have you ever listened to FRANK TURNER or POLAR BEAR CLUB? ooohhhhhhh man, you gotta give those guys a spin. sooo good. those peeps in europe are going to get rocked so hard. maybe i can ship myself with the posters to europe. you would think all i need is a few packets of sugar,bottleed water and an adult diaper. oh yeah, i'm going. see ya in portsmouth uk.

ahhhhh yeah. we picked this bad boy up last summer from some jawas. they said it was r2d2's in-bred uncle.( whatever man... you don't have to name drop with me) this doesn't perform half the things that r2 can,but..they did say if you put some mud in it and turn it on, it will make the mud hard. hell yeah son!! i'm sold!
 i am very stoked to have this in my family's art studio. i'm going to make throwing stars, clay wheels for my skateboard and car, and a bunch of other crap. my wife makes some pretty cool stuff with glass and i'll link up her artcrap later.
  til then...MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.

sometimes it's easier to print a poster than to ship UPS.....i'll tell ya later about dat chit.



i printed this image on only 3 sheets of magenta for funzies ( and sold 2 at the show). i'm still feel'n the black a little more.
 sorry for the fuzzy weird look'n pics...it's tuff as shit to take a picture of a print that is laced full of metallic ink.

 this show ruled, chicago rules, all the people that i hung out with (new and old) ruled,...um.. i guess that nite ruled.
it looks like NAKED RAYGUN is going to rerelease all six full length albums on wax. they had the first 3 at the show and they are limited edition and hand #. sooooo get yo wax on danielson.

dude... this show is going to kick so much ass!!! actually, it's 2 shows. that's right, back to back nites @ the HOB in the windy city. the only crappy thing about this is.. i can only go to the saturday nite show (it's cool..i'll take what i can get). this line up is so insane! all of these bands rule!!  iv'e seen HWM a shit ton of times...and they killed it everytime. it's kinda weird that i've been listening to NAKED RAYGUN since i was a kid and never seen them. so this show is going to be extra special for me. i'm feel'n a little gitty,almost like a pre-teen girl going to see the jonas brothers...kinda...maybe? anyways.....
this is an honor to design and print this poster for these fine folks. please stop by the merch table and pick one up.
  this will be a 3 color limited edition screen print (black pearl, apple green and some kind of blue that i need to create) on black stock.
     HOPE TO SEEYA AT THE SHOW!!!!!
 

 

if you don't have kids or been around any that are the ages of 6-10yrs old... you have to sneak into a school and check out the art room or any art that they have in the hallways. the talent and how little kids veiw the world with their art is crazy.
  here is my 4 yr old son and pic that he drew. when i asked what the subject matter of this awesome drawing is, he said it was me. hhhhhhmmmmmmmmm. i will not question that or ask about the red area around my manhood.

  it's pretty damn rewarding when you have fun drawing crap for bands that you are into and haveing them love the crap you do. here is a tee and 2 button designs i did for DbH. the shirt is being modeled by the super hot melissa marks. (she's going to kick my ass for that...oh well) 

I am very proud to anounce that CEASE ROBOT & NO GUTS NO GLORY will team up in the near future to produce  some sort of collabration. We have no idea what we are going to do yet. Maybe a gigposter...maybe an artprint?? I am more than certain this is going to kick ass! Tamara is sooooo crazy good!! Now stop reading this crap and check out her site.

after DRAGGEDbyHORSES killed it in the north woods, it was time for them to go back home to HUMBOLT, CA. I thought cali was to the west...it looks like chris knows a short cut.
