Another Mini Comic! and Patrick Prints!


Here's another mini comic cover. This is is Patrick Godfrey's. He's also responsible for this project as a whole so a big thanks for helping Team Eight officially break into the comic world after all these years!



This is also Pat's first time printing with us, so here's some shots of that. Watch out, this guy is fast!

BARRY PRINTS



Barry was sweet enough to come down from NYC just to print a poster with us:

"After Spencer and Matt Deans showed up at my door at 2:30 am to crash on my couch, we joked about funny scenarios featuring some of my dictator drawings until some of them actually seemed like a good idea to print. Robert Mugabe was a great choice since he's all over news right now about withholding election results and whatnot. Spencer and I have have been talking about doing something together for awhile, but that's been difficult since I moved to Brooklyn. But when I was in RVA for two weeks in May house/dog sitting, it all worked out.

"I used to screen print a lot in high school doing mainly my band's merchandise, but since then I've lost touch with it even though I still have all my equipment somewhere. But to use a cliche metaphor, it was like "riding a bike." Granted, Spencer did all the exposure stuff, and I just sort of showed up when it came time to drag the ink across the finished screen, but I do think I took a lot away from the experience. The Mugabe print turned out great and I'm looking forward to later in the summer when Spencer and I are tentatively going to print some other stuff. Maybe more dictator posters, maybe some shirts. We'll see what happens. Thanks Spencer!"
