I guess I've been busy playing shows with The Dyes and pushing the new record, which should be mentioned here: THE DYES GOO GOO-A-GO-GO!!!
There's me proudly showin' off the new vinyl while lounging in Don Picton's basement at about 2 am. It was a loooong two nights of printing off these bad boys, approximately 400 runs! Thankfully the wonderful Don (aka Friend Prices - check him out at friendprices.etsy.com) lent his digs AND his services, and we split the printing duties. The artwork was a frantic last-minute throw-together on my part, but ya know... I like to roll around in shit and come up smelling like roses sometimes. 99% happy with the results. Here's a sneak peak of the process:
Proposed slop sketch.
Filling in the letters..
The creature starts to appear!
A few touch-ups, scanning, transparencies, and screen burning later, then...
Printing!
The final product. That's right - slime green vinyl!
A big thanks again to Don at Friend Prices headquarters. I would have been wallowing in anxiety attacks and bon-bons without his help. If anyone is interested in purchasing the new (limited!) record, you can do so at Bloodshot: https://www.bloodshotrecords.com/album/dyes-goo-goo-go-go-7-single. Once those sell out, I'll be selling 'em on noviadeldiablo.com.
'Til next time,
Stay Sick!!!
