Also the artwork done by Brian Manley is very full done. Love the textures and type really brings the art to life.

Here's a new page from our zine &1 about the fact that Jolby is 1/2 Mustached, Cyloped Centaur and 1/2 fish. Click the wide pic for a super-large view. Enjoy.

Tangible Giveaways

Tangible has decided to start holding daily giveaways on Twitter. Straight from the bauce:

"We have all sorts of goodies around the office -- posters, prints, toys, music, tickets, etc. -- and think that this could be a cool way for us to use this crazy service. Follow us @tangibleww to automatically be entered in our giveaways. Today we're giving away The World Needs More Stach t-shirt. Who knows what Monday will bring?

We may eventually give a free tattoo session from our pal Patrick Cornolo, tickets to Pitchfork Music Festival, custom painted vinyls from our art direction duo, Jolby (hey thats us!), tickets to Second City, bottles of Effen Vodka (if that's legal?) and so on. We're also showing daily Grabba Beast previews leading up to the site launch. And we'll continue to try to post interesting/inspiring links we found on the interwebs."

Follow us on Twitter for mini-updates on what we're working on, news updates like mustached cyclops attacks, and future art giveaways: @jolbyandfriends

&1 Jolby Zine Preview

Here is one of the first pages we finished for our zine. You may be asking "Why does it say Sickle with a pickle under it?" Well, Sickle Pickle is something Colby and I have been saying for a long time, it's our way of saying "that's cool/awesome/rad/tubular". Keep checking back for more previews and news.

Tone Matrix

So I think I have found something that I would be happy to waste all my time doing. Tone Matrix might be the coolest thing I have ever seen on the internet. Andre Michelle is the genius behind this and should win an award for the funniest game/music maker. If you want to send something make to a friend, right click over the squares with the tones you made and copy and then all they have to do is paste over the squares. Have fun.

Coming Soon: &1

Josh and I are working on the first Jolby zine which will be titled "&1: Jolby all the Time" and has no release date as of yet, but we wanted to show you a sneak peak at the cover. The zine will be filled with all of the wackiness that makes Jolby what it is. Some ideas we have include fighting bananas, a truly Sickle Pickle, and killer boomerangs.

Jolby Goods?

We are excited to announce that our Etsy store is up and running. We put up the remaining work from the "Home is Where You Make it" show and a new set of prints as well. We will be trying to put as much new products as we can so keep checking back for more updates. Spread the Jolby butter around the world! Thanks

Steven Harrington mix free download

Steven Harrington, Incase, and Arkitip have teamed up once again to release an exclusive mix for your ears. Featuring hand picked tracks from Steven's personal collection, Bang-Ga-Wrong is a 45-minute mix of early Jamaican dancehall, dub and roots reggae reworked and mixed with help from Andrew Miller. While we're not the biggest fans of this style of music, its really cool to see this team up and we love the graphic on the vinyl. Check it out here.

New Work: the Graduate Tee & Tote

We just finished this tee & tote design for our good pals the Graduate that will soon be sold on their merch site and at select shows. There will be both guys and girls-colored tees as well as a the tote (black). We've been experimenting with this style of composition that's new for us. Trip out!

Jen Stark Will Blow Your MIND

I'm sure many of you have heard of Jen Stark and her amazing vision to see beyond a piece of paper and create a visual eyegasm of paper sculptures. Well we just found out about her and can't believe that she can do this out of paper. We are officially in love with her work. Enjoy
