Happy, Birthday Tentacles

Photo by Lando Speers

Down to the ghost words
Sharpening our bodies like knives
Rest assured of a certain end
In the waking hours we are thin wolves with no collars - surviving on the scraps of each other
Between impossible things, our sacred tryst caught on the lives of uncomprehending others.

Designarrs pt.1

Outside of being the reigning champs of "Best Dudes in the entire Universe, beating out Turbo Buddha and the Hulkster, Taylor Schaerer & Andrew Benson are both incredibly talented illustrators and designers.

Armies of musicians especially owe each of them a debt of gratitude for all the incredible poster and album artwork they've done.

They're also responsible for your summer looking like this:
