New Project

2012-01-30T10:39:00.000-08:00

We're working on a new series of art prints, of which there are at least 26 in the works. This is a test print of the first printing session, there are 5 colors on this particular print, it looks like there will be at least that many on the final edition, though they will be different.

Bill Callahan Poster

We're only 6 months late in posting this, the show was great, we're (still) happy with the poster and here's a look-see.

Flatland is finally moving

2012-01-10T12:06:00.000-08:00

We got a new (old) home last summer, but we are just now getting around to setting up the studio in our garage. The first thing is the scrap wood wall, which is coming along. Next thing is the washout booth and then PRINTING. We've got 26 prints coming in the first half of the year, with the art for 4 completed. We're going to be opening our space to the public soon, we'll call it the Art Studio (AS) for now. We'll have screen printing workshops, drawing sessions and open studios 2-5 times per week. Memberships will be available and discounts on everything will be given to current members. Not sure on the final prices, but it'll be a deal. We're looking for community more than money and we'd like to give artists, recent art grads and others interested, a place to draw, print, etc, without having to buy all of the equipment we already have. If you'd be interested in knowing more, leave a comment or drop us a line at hello(at)flatlandkitchen(dot)com.

INDYCOG!!!

Go to INDYCOG and buy the poster we made for them. It supports a great local bicycle advocacy group and gets you a very limited edition print made by our four hands. The link is here. They're great people and they do a wonderful job of allowing cyclers' voices to be heard in Indianapolis. Support them. Dammit.

We've been busy, mostly with life, but art always has a way working itself in there. So...

We've made a poster. It's for Bill Callahan's upcoming show at the White Rabbit Cabaret on July 5. Thanks to Bill and Drag City for allowing us to do it, we'll have some pics up soon and they'll be for sale at the show, we hope to see you there.

Firrrrrst Friday...

2010-12-07T17:34:00.000-08:00

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
First Friday came and went, it was what it was. We weren't prepared and we had very little space. It was probably the oddest "art sale" of my life, we've done craft fairs, they're good (or at least the Indieana Handicraft Exchange is good), I've been to gallery shows, they're good, but Friday was a mish mash of showing/ selling that was just not as beneficial as it should be. People commented on our stuff, but we didn't sell much and since we weren't in a gallery space, I don't think people took the time to really LOOK. There was so much to see everyone just browsed over everything. Not to worry, we learned from it, we'll do things differently in the future. We're moving on. But as an aside, if you've purchased something from us in the past via etsy or are our friend in some other way, or have our admiration AND we have your address, you'll be getting somethin' very soon. If you haven't bought anything via etsy, aren't our friend in some other way, don't have our admiration OR we don't have your address, but you'd like to receive something, drop us a line at hello(at)flatlandkitchen(dot)com and we'll send ya' somethin' good.

Best,
Eric

We will be hanging out at the Harrison Center this Friday as part of First Friday. We'll be showing our stuff w/ Bethany Chenowith and Deborah Kolp. We will be introducing some new prints and have plenty of older prints available that evening at discounted prices for the holiday season. We hope to see you there.

Best,
Eric & Rebekah

RIDE YOUR BIKE

2010-11-14T13:29:00.000-08:00

We asked Matt Kelm, a former colleague of mine, currently a designer at the IMA, making amazing work, to do a Ride Your Bike poster, after all, he introduced me to decent bikes and made me realize what a true bike ride was all about. He illustrated the type and I turned it into this poster, there are only 5 of this split fountain version, only 3 for sale. There is also an edition of 25 of black on chipboard. I find it amazing what a Sunday afternoon with Anchor Steam, Bad Elmer's Porter, Sharon Van Etten on the radio and some time can do.

PS..We are sold out of the split fountain, you can still get the black on chipboard, there are about 18 left as of 12/28/10, try 'em up.

Sharon Van Etten's new album

2010-09-25T11:23:00.000-07:00

Sharon Van Etten of Brooklyn, NY contacted us to do the album artwork for her latest album epic (on BaDaBing!). Rebekah painted the cover image of Sharon and the rest was Eric's handy work. We're extremely happy with the outcome. Cheers to Sharon, BadaBing and Weather Vane for putting together such a fantastic album. We'll post pictures of the vinyl when we have a copy of it.

The Indy Winter Farmers' Market commissioned this hand printed poster, they use them in various ways to promote themselves and we sell them and give a big ol' hunk directly to the market. We will be selling at the market the next few weeks, March 27-April 10, every Saturday from 9 am-1 pm. There's always good eats and good people, so come to the Chatham Center at 10th and East St. for one heck of a good time.

Break Out the Jams...

2010-03-21T18:06:00.000-07:00

This sign was commissioned as a gift for Damon and Naomi who, in addition to making great music, also make their very own jams.We like it a lot, it's screen-printed on two layers of wood, cut out and adhered together. All hand done by us in our studio (basement).

Last week...

Last week was a hectic one, we printed posters for the Indy Winter Farmers' Market, finished a sign for friends of SVE and got some collateral done for a kevchino.com show at SXSW. The fruits that haven't already been posted will be soon. We've got some more projects coming up, hopefully we can keep our momentum.
