It’s always a treat to work with comedians – but in this case it’s extra fun as Aziz is one of our favorites. Aziz commissioned us to create posters for the New York and DC shows of his upcoming ‘Dangerously Delicious Tour’. If you’re a fan, you know that Aziz loves food … and if you have his last album, you know he also loves walking with dinosaurs. These are limited in quantity, but will be arriving in the shop after the dates.

We recently just wrapped a fun logo/business card project for Sparrow Builders, a new general contracting firm headed up by our cousin John Paulsen. John wanted something with a simple, modern and clean aesthetic, so we played around with different styles within those restrictions. The wireframe design was one of the last options we provided and ended up making the cut as the final logo. After the design was green-lit, the fine folks at Mandate Press (check this out) took over and delivered some pretty amazing letter-pressed cards on 110# Cranes Lettra stock.

Here’s a fun project we recently wrapped with the fine folks at Creature and JanSport. Catch the bus to see The Cave Singers – performing at an undisclosed location. A quick synopsis of the event:
‘This summer, JanSport presents the first installment of the Bonfire Sessions, a free concert series celebrating the epic memories that can only be made outdoors. Here’s how it works. The hidden location of the concert is kept secret until the day of the show. All August long, check in here at Unzipped , as well as Facebook and Twitter , to get clues about the band and where to hitch a ride on the 28th. We’re taking a mere two busloads of people, so you’ll want to stay on top of the bus stop spot. And get your best lining-up/dancing shoes on.’
The poster was designed in 2 sizes: 24″ x 36″ and 18″ x 24″. 8 colors, screen-printed.

Check out your local newsstands now for the new issue of Revolver Magazine, featuring Zakk Wylde. We did the photo-illustration work for the cover and the feature, which meant many hours of cutting out little demon people to create the elaborate scenes. The cover image itself pays homage to recently deceased Frank Frazetta’s classic artwork.

I first met Nate Wragg shortly after I stumbled upon his brilliant work for the film Ratatouille. Namely the ‘Your Friend The Rat‘ short and his great books that were inspired by the film. Many of you are familiar with his fun illustrations and epic character work for Pixar and now DreamWorks. We began chatting as we seemed to share an obvious affinity for all kinds of misc. critters. Namely Sasquatch and the elusive Yeti. It was only natural that a trade was in order.
It took me weeks to nail down an idea, but decided that a ‘biker Yeti’ may be a funny prospect. I quickly started sketching and ‘Freddy Mushyeti’ was born. He may look a bit menacing, but I guarantee he’s harmless. As for the rest of the ‘Mushyeti’s’ crew, I can’t exactly say the same.
Nate had the idea that we’d just surprise each other with the Yeti’s and ship off the framed pieces without a clue as to what we’d be receiving. It was a great idea and I can’t tell you how cool it was to unwrap. I think I may have even injured the UPS man as I ripped it out of his hands. I absolutely love it.
Next year: Swap Of The Sasquatch.

Check out the cover we recently finished for our buddies The Showdown. The new record, Blood In The Gears, has a very gritty, Southern, biker sound to it, so that’s exactly what we went for. That’s me in the jacket, and there’s no Photoshop magic here- we had the back patch made just for the cover. Ride to live…
