Seppuku Tattoo & the Drowning Creek Gallery




Well, nothing like heaping on the workload, eh? Not content just to have an online gallery, we've undertaken a real brick and morter gallery that is housed in the brand-spanking new Seppuku Tattoo located in Savannah, GA and run by partners-in-crime, Johnny Thief DiDonna & Matt Lukesh.

Right now, the gallery is being stocked with prints we have had tucked away in the flat files and DCS work, but we're planning on adding other artists as we are able to expand the venture. Also, we've recently purchased a very nice mat cutter, and will be creating one-of-a-kind framed delights to be displayed in said gallery. It may be July before we get the first framed pieces to Seppuku, but, anything worth having is worth waiting for. To give folks an idea of what we are doing in the studio, here's the skinny:

Can you say "16 hour days, 7 days a week?" We are frantically packaging prints for 3 major shows and the gallery - Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, the AOMR CMJ show, and there is another show at the Museum of Design in Atlanta that will need some prints as well. Each of these major shows combined requires packaging of 100's of posters and handbills. We have to ship posters to CMJ, and for B'roo & Wakarusa we are packing a trailer for the 14-day adventure of camping, music, and fun. It will be a ball buster, but nothing we can't handle. Oh, I forgot to mention that we will be participating in a gallery booth that is going to be on Zooma Tour, too. That means packaging more prints. All of this has to be squeezed into the next 2 weeks, and on top of all of the regular biz in the shop of designing, printing, retail, and other stuff going on.

It's good to be busy.
