I’ve made a run of 100 Stranger “K9” decks (originally released in 1997) in a new colorway, signed and numbered, as well as a signed edition of 150 “Worst of the Worst” screenprints, printed at Oakland’s Bloom Press.  Both are only available at the art shows (Brooklyn, Toronto and Los Angeles), and once they’re sold out, they’re gonzo.

Psyched to announce a new project with Run The Jewels via EmoJam, a new animated musical emoji app for iPhone. Its a free download in the App Store, works just like the lame soccer mom emojis you already use but they’re animated, there’s hip hop music in each, and I did all the art, so it’s often crude and rude. Download it now (its free!) and check out the new Run The Jewels one plus tons more, including all the crazy emojis we created for the Xmas holiday season.  Lots of laughs guaranteed. http://www.emojam.com/ https://runthejewels.com/
