Christopher Bettig v Tiny Showcase

I was asked by Tiny Showcase to take part in their new project of designing a rubber stamp & mini print.. The result is the snowflake/mountain graphic in a 3 inch x 3 inch rubber stamp and also as two different two color mini prints which are foil printed, which is the metallic printing like that on a pencil. You can purchase all three as a little set for $17.50 USD here.

SF SOLO SHOW OCTOBER 1, 2010!

I've got a solo show in SF, entitled "Of Woe & Magic," opening on Friday October 1, 2010 at Hello by Candystore Collective which is located at 2226 Bush St. The opening reception is from 6:30-8:30 PM, come out and say "hi!" The show runs from the first of October until the first of November. Here's a little about the show :

Of Woe & Magic is the beauty of being alone in the desert and under the moon. I want to watch the dying suns and witness the new ones being born. Everything to and from dust. I miss you already. Turquoise jewelry, geodesic domes, telepathy & a feather in your hair. I want to run naked in the sunshine with you. It’s about all the love I have for everything. There may be a crystal or two involved, sorry, I tried to keep it scientific. Let’s all make something by hand. I sewed, printed, and painted this. It is only the beginning. Everything is infinite. It will last forever & it will also end on November 1, 2010.

Las Vegas - Magic Trade Show

Just spent the last week in Las Vegas for the apparel trade shows Magic / Project / Pool etc. Had a great time with the 2K By Gingham crew.. super big thank you to them for bringing me out for the show! Also had a chance to hang out with my old friends over at Poketo and got to finally meet the Blood Is The New Black crew. I've got some new T's with Blood Is The New Black being released this winter season.. Asides from hanging out with everyone, we also went to an aquarium, rode a roller coaster & went to the Liberace Museum. Awesome times.
