Its that time of year, time for Pitchfork & Flatstock 26! I'm on my way to Chicago right now, currently in Denver, CO for a few days. San Francisco/Flatstock 25 last weekend was a blast. It was nice seeing all the West Coast friends again.

Pitchfork & Flatstock 26 will once again be held at Union Park in Chicago this coming weekend, July 16th-18th. And this year we are lucky enough to have Flatstock setup an additional day, Friday!

So make sure to come check out the incredible artwork and buy a few prints if you're in the area!

I'm pretty excited to be working on a print for the Dark Dark Dark show in Houston next month. If you have not yet checked them out, I highly suggest browsing over to their website: Dark Dark Dark. You're sure to fall in love with the track "Daydreaming", which is now streaming online. Its off the upcoming second full length "Wild Go".

Poster image inspired by "Wild Goose Chase", limited edition screen prints will be available at the show and following online. Design by: Isaac Menge

I was able to print my first gig poster in the new facility a few days ago. It was a 2-color + gloss overprint for a Bomb The Music Industry/O Pioneers/Junior Battles tour up north. Take a look, great artwork by Camp Pepper:

So for those who didn't notice the change in address to the right of your screen, Pedal Printing has relocated to Houston, TX. We now reside at 7397 Ashcroft Drive, in house, with good friends Eric and Val of I Heart U Productions.

You may be asking yourself, "WHY HOUSTON?". Well, to better serve you, our clients of course! We are currently in the process of upgrading our facilities to better serve all orders big and small. And in order to do that I needed more space, more equipment, a couple new ventilation ducts, and a few motivated individuals with big hearts for printing.

We will not be printing or taking orders from April 19th through the 24th.

Please make sure any orders needed before the end of April are placed within the next 2 weeks. All orders placed between the above dates will be fulfilled in the last week of April or first week of May. All web store orders placed during that time will be fulfilled in the beginning of May.

We are sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you all for your continued support!
