AUSTIN CITY LIMITS TOTE BAG

Austin City Limits Tote Bag
see it bigger

A while back the Austin City Limits folks asked me to do a drawing for a tote bag. They’re not for sale yet at the ACL store, but they were selling a couple at the Heartless Bastards taping, so keep your eyes peeled if you’re heading to Studio 6A anytime soon…

Buy it online

UPDATE: Sara and Emily from KLRU tell me they’re for sale in the KLRU lobby!

This was so much fun: when I was a kid, I used to stay up late nights watching the Columbus, Ohio PBS station to catch Austin City Limits. I dreamed I might play on the stage one day…turns out I’d be drawing the stage! Life is strange.

(The drawing came from the Drive-By Truckers taping.)

HELP US PICK POEMS TO SCREENPRINT!

Monday, June 8, 2009

The book is still over half a year away, so my wife Meg and I are making it our summer project to sell some mini-poster prints of poems that won’t be in the book—perfect for hanging on your wall, cubicle, etc. They’ll be silkscreened by hand by my good friend and super-talented painter/printmaker, Curtis Miller. We’ll be pulling prints in San Marcos next weekend, hoping to have them up for sale in a week or so.

~~We need your help picking which poems to offer! Please take a look at the following batch of poems, and give us your input in the form below…~~
