We had the honor of creating art for April & October as part of Studio On Fire's brand new "Home Edition" 2016 calendar. We'll be including a set in random orders this month, but you can officially grab one here. Thanks for asking us, guys!

It's an absolute honor to be interviewed by The Great Discontent. Cozy up with that brand new iPad from Grandma and have a read. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
US folks: Place your holiday orders by Wednesday, December 18th to insure delivery before Christmas. We won't be shipping between Dec. 19th-January 6th.
We had the great privilege and honor of speaking at LEGO's internal Design Camp last week - a day away from the office for the creative team in beautiful Enfield, Connecticut. Scott Decoteau, along with the talented and generous crew at LEGO, were gracious hosts during our time in New England. Highlights of the trip included the LEGO HQ tour (wow), dangerously delicious indian food, bowling and sharing sentimental stories about the infamous drawstring denim LEGO bag.
To commemorate our talk, we decided to make some things. One of them being a poster of us creating our new mark out of 4,236 bricks - flown in from all over the world. After 2 hot days, 1 broken mallet (don't ask), 6 iced coffees and 3 blisters, the mosaic came to life. Extra special thanks to LEGO for supplying the baseplates.
Unfortunately these posters and prints are not for sale, but who knows - we may throw some in future IC poster orders ...
As we celebrate IC's 6 year anniversary, we are thankful for 2012 (our bestest year yet!) and the amazing projects we've had the pleasure of working on. So we thought we'd spread the joy a little by creating "The Lookout", a sequel (of sorts) to 2010's Snowballer print. With every purchase over $25, we'll be sending out a signed 11" x 14" giclee print until December 20th, which also happens to be our last day of shipping before Christmas.
Special note - International orders: Due to shipping costs, we are only able to send "The Lookout" with poster and print orders. Offer doesn't apply to T-shirt or toy orders. Sorry!
We'll have the set of 2 available to purchase after the holidays. Go in peace!
We had a fun and crafty time creating end-of-the-year 'Thank You' gifts for a few of our A.D.'s at Target this year. Dad made all of the sets and our buddy Sean Ingram over at Blue Collar printed them up. Look for more Dad Clark collaborations coming soon. It's just too much fun.
Well, IC is officially shut down until 2012. Oh, what a year. Many, many thanks to our wonderful clients, customers and folks just generally interested in what we do. As the studio turns 5 this month, we are so thankful to be celebrating our best year yet. Here's to 2011 and a big high-five to 2012. So much fun stuff in the works ...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! -Don & Ryan
Well, The Spit Swap has come and gone. The 2-night stint with yours truly in Portland and Mr. Draplin laying it down in Seattle was one for the record books. Portland, I can't thank you enough for cruising out to The Ace to watch me sweat it out up there as I attempted to tell our scattered story. It was a fun night of sharing great conversations with real folks. I had a blast. And Portland - your art, design and illustration community is one to be envied. Hats off to you nice people ... Massive high-fives to Eric Hillerns for the hospitality and for dreaming this baby up. Seriously. Aaron Draplin (and family!) for the obvious reasons. The man has talent in about a zillion areas, including the English language. But you guys knew that.
And of course The Ace Hotel, Lloyd Winter, Duane King, 52 Limited, Always With Honor, Portland AIGA, Fort Port ... the list goes on. Thanks to everyone who helped out, brought beer, food, tweeted, you name it. THANK YOU!
A few rad shots of the night, courtesy of long-time broseph Mr. Arges:
We stopped by the mighty W+K to visit one helluva guy Lloyd Winter and to apparently have our socks knocked off by the sheer awesomeness in that building. Wow.
"Yup, that's a bear"
Before the gig started, we stopped by Instrument's new spot to see our buds and visit the infamous teepees. Incredible space. Incredible talent.
J.D. and Vince giving us the tour ...
"Is this thing on?"
We meet at last ...
Tyler and Elsa from Always With Honor with a touching and funny introduction ... thanks again, guys.
Zac strong-arming folks into buying paper and sticky things ...
"It's just a theory" ... Duane, Josh and a few others hear me out regarding my thoughts on relativity.

Anyways, it was a rad night. Thanks again, Portland.
We'll have 100 of these 3-color silk-screened posters for sale at our Spit Swap gig this Wednesday. Printed by the fine folks at Seizure Palace right there in PDX. Oh, and we've seen Draplin's poster. Get ready, Washingtonians.
Something awesome is unraveling. IC vs. DDC. Portland and Seattle. October 19th and 20th.
Our buddy Josh surprised us with a nice little gift last Saturday in San Diego. Killer engraving by Garrett Patz.
Last year, our buddy Josh Higgins asked if we'd cruise down to his city sometime to tell our story and flash some .jpg's on a big screen. We happily agreed, so here we are. We're excited to bring our dog and pony show to the beautiful city of San Diego on April 2nd. We'll be speaking at the legendary Casbah club, but what we're most excited about is The Black Heart Procession will be joining us to shut down the evening. Oh, and a little bonus for you early birds: The first 200 folks through the door get an 18" x 24" silk-screened poster, namely the one you see above. Tickets are $10 advance/$12 day of show and you can purchase them here.
Happy 2010! Hopefully your night didn't end up like his. Here's to a new decade ...
