GHOSTS AND MARTYRS/ MARTYRS AND GHOSTS #37/50


GHOSTS AND MARTYRS/ MARTYRS AND GHOSTS
Limited Edition Book Set #37/50

I recently received the Ghosts and Martyrs/Martyrs and Ghosts LE Bookset by Kathie Olivas and Brandt Peters, and all I can say is this is an amazing set of artwork to add to any collection. The bookset comes chalk full of goodies from both artists including: a Hazel mini figure, a collector's edition book, a postcard set, prints and even letterpress cards. This bookset is an edition of 50 and has been long sold out for quite some time now. I was lucky enough to pickup #37/50 directly from Kathie Olivas' site circusposterus.com... Thanks again Kathie and Brandt!!!

BOOKSET INCLUDES:
  • 1 Ghosts and Martyrs Book, signed and sketched by both artists
  • 1 Custom dyed Scavengers Series Hazel Vinyl mini figure
  • 1 2009 Postcard Set
  • 1 Kathie Olivas Letterpress card
  • 1 Brandt Peters Letterpress Card
  • 3 11"x14" giclees on heavy watercolor paper
  • 1 11"x14" hand-printed archival portfolio case

JESSE HERNANDEZ SIGNING TOUR @ KRSF



Professional Photographer and a very good friend of mine, Francis Ramos, attended the Jesse Hernandez Signing Tour event at KRSF and took a bunch of quality pictures in the process. From what I've seen(always), Jesse Hernandez has a very strong following in his hometown of San Francisco. The event drew crowds of people waiting to not only pick up his newly released 8" Jaguar Warrior Dunny but to also get an opportunity for a friendly meet and great. I've talked to Jesse on numerous occasions and he's one of the coolest and most down to earth artists out there. Check the slideshow below for complete coverage of this event... Thanks Francis!!!
