Grady Gordon came down from San Francisco last week for five days and we locked ourselves in the studio so he could teach us how to do monotype printing. Grady kills it at monotype printing. The experience was unbelievable. We had so much fun and made a bunch of boss ass boss prints, talked shit and found some time to drink a few beers. The Grady Gordon X Dethkills collaboration prints we made look good. Our photographer friend Marc Lemoine came down one day and shot a bunch of rad photos for our next zine. The zine is gonna have a printing with Grady Gordon section in it so we wont say or show too much here. Enjoy what you see, their will be more pics to come. The prints will all be for sale at the zine release which will be a blow out party, date and location not figured out yet but soon. Happy Holidays.
