Project Announcement

We mentioned last post that there was minor setbacks with the “photo shoot.” well, that wasn’t all. Friday was supposed to be the first meeting about our new project but our collaborator was feeling under the weather, so the meeting has been postponed until this coming Friday. We figured we might as well go ahead and talk about our plans so after the meeting we won’t have to make an epic post and explain everything all at once.
So, here goes:

One of the, if not THE, best thing about living in NYC is the abundance of creative forces. We are, literally, surrounded by the most talented and amazing people. The one downfall of this is because there are so many people making super duper awesome things, to be singled out is quite a feat. we figured that we could try to bring more attention to artists that we know and also benefit by this symbiotic relationship. We scratch your back, we’ll scratch yours? No, really. We aren’t looking for glory, we just want to make things with other people. Share our talents and have something cool to show for it. We are extremely happy to present:

yes, have some: Toby Goodshank
We have teamed up with local NYC musician and artist Toby Goodshank to make a line of items. The meeting of minds will take place this Friday, so there will be a clearer idea of what is actually going to be made. In the meantime, we’ll tell you about the man himself and why he is totally deeeluxe!

Hailing originally from Connecticut, he now resides in Brooklyn and is probably known more for his musical stylings than his visual art, though they are both equally masterful. He is probably the most prolific artist…EVER. He churns out the goods like a machine. Here is a description of his recent musical accomplishments, pretty much ripped from his myspace page (though we did edit it a little, cause it’s so damn long! HA!)

Toby Goodshank plays in the bands Double Deuce, the Tri-Lambs, the Christian Pirate Puppets, Moldy Peaches, Bearded Witness, and with himself. His recent discography is as follows:


Toby Goodshank Safe Harbour (2004)
Tri-Lambs Self-Titled (2005)
Toby Goodshank Come Correct (2005)
Doube Deuce Camp Candy (2005)
Christian Pirate Puppets White Man-like Object (2005)
Toby Goodshank Music 4 Heroes Volume 4 (2005)
Toby Goodshank Jyusangatsu (2005)
Toby Goodshank di santa ragione (2006)
Toby Goodshank Cover Album (2006)
Toby Goodshank Mogo on the Gogo (2006)
Christian Pirate Puppets Unpruded (2006)


Most of these can be found to download on iTunes or through Olive Juice Music. For more information feel free to email Toby at toby_goodshank@yahoo.com. You can also check him out on myspace.

His visual works are equally impressive. He has mad drawing and collaging skills. Much of his works are…psychedelic and surreal, would be the best words to describe them. His intricate pattern work and painstaking lettering, are truly amazing. Here are some examples from his website (we highly suggest you check out the photos page to see the rest of his work)
