Current Projects and Happenings

I've been collaborating on a couple of projects this semester with my pal Greg Pizzoli (aka Doctor Pizzoli). We are working under the label Straight Rainbow, blog here.

The first project is a tee shirt exhibition called "The Kids Are Uptight" on May 10. We've asked nine designers/illustrators to participate by submitting a design based on political slogans. Each will be printed in an edition of roughly 25 by Greg and myself, on hand-dyed tee shirts. We are printing one a week, so I'll update with pics are they are completed.

Here are all the shirt colors we dyed:













And here is the first shirt we printed, designed by Pierre Richardson:

Greg and I are also working on a Philadelphia pizza review book. We are reviewing 30 places that sell slices and extensively reviewing our experiences. We take our official notebook, which houses our official review forms to every place, and scrutinize everything from the pizza quality to the bathroom cleanliness.


















The book will be a perfect bound, 98 page, handwritten and illustrated book of serious pizza talk. So get ready, it'll be available by May 15, hopefully.


Our MFA 1 works in progess show (Mistakes Were Made) is approaching at a serious speed on Friday, March 21. And in true Pansley style, I'm printing everything for it this week. I'll post pics as things are done.

Ok, that's all for now.
