Wolfbat Railway: Omaha, NE April 8th 2011

2011-08-22T23:49:00.000-04:00

Omaha is known as the "Gate City of the West" because it is where Union Pacific Railroad built started the first transcontinental railroad making it a major hub leading west by train. For the my visit to the Univeristy of Nebraska, Omaha we launched the first ever Wolfbat Railway. I built a print covered train steam engine and all the students made cowboy hats. On the last day we paraded the train to the new business center where it will live...... (and the damn wheel popped off as we were heading into the lot. Thanks for fixing it David) Thanks Gary and Thank you to all the awesome UNO students.

The Chupakabra Clan of the Wolfbat and the Jackalope Hit Odessa, Texas April 14th 2011

2011-08-22T23:37:00.000-04:00

University of Texas visit... The Chupakabra have joined with the Wolfbat in order to track the Jackalope and reclaim their territories in west Texas. The Jackalpoe have come down from Wyoming and have been over breeding the lands and pushing the Chupakabra out. Once the head Jackalope heard the Chupakabra had put a hit out for his life he fled. Unknowingly the travel agent booking his flight to Stonehenge was actually working for the Wolfbat and booked the flight to the Stonehenge replica in Odessa, TX where the clan are awaiting his arrival. Check the video. Thanks Mario and thank you UTPB students. You guys rule.

2011-08-22T23:21:00.000-04:00

In Lubbock, TX 1951 there were some of the most credible UFO sitings ever reported. Little did this small town know that this was a scout mission sent down from Planet Wolfbat to invade the Free Speech Zone at Texas Tech and free the minds of zombified humans in the area. Thanks Stacy and Texas Tech Students for making alien helmets and helping to land our Wolfbat space Vessel.

Jest for Wolfbats: All Fools Day, Kansas City, MO April 1, 2011

2011-05-27T00:46:00.001-04:00

This event involved a lot. The guys at Escapist allowed me to have a show of work at their space so that was the end spot for the nights chaos. We built a Wolfbat War Vessel that started at the Inkubator where there were two alien pinatas built at Wichata State U. Sedlec Ossuary (metal band from Topeka) was set up inside the vessel and students from KCAI, Emporia State, and Wichita State showed up in Wolfbat warrior regalia. The local crowd from the first friday art walk gathered as we slayed the aliens and proceeded down the street with the band growling. The street was overrun and traffic had to move at the pace of the Wolfbat mob. After making our way to Escapist we slayed 3 more alien pinatas, burned a sacrificial war eagle in the street, and lit off tons of fireworks. Thank you Deluxe, Vans, and Volcom for filling the pinatas and the support. Thank you Ericka, James, and Miguel and Wichita State, KCAI, and Emporia state students for showing up and getting down. Thanks Dan and Escapist for the spot and support.

New Shirt for Thrasher Magazine ....

2010-03-10T09:54:00.003-05:00

Thrasher magazine was basically my childhood bible ..... we used to bug out if 17th st. surfshop didn't have the new issues on time and huddle around a new mag like pirates on treasure. The aesthetic of Thrasher in the early to mid eighties was a huge influence on the drawings I made then and that aesthetic still inspires what I make now. Thanks Thrasher.
