Probably didn’t do too great of a job promoting this, but if any of my Dallas area followers need something to do, we’ll be here today from 11a-7p, with gig posters, art prints, tees and some other choice goods. 

The awesome surf/punk/pop group, Bleached, recently played Dallas, and we were lucky enough to do the posters for the show. Napkin Art Studios only has a handful of these ‘test pressing’ posters available in our shop. Get ‘em before they are gone for good.

Oh boy, what a crazy last couple of weeks, er…months it has been. We’ve been swamped with personal projects and contract work since January that there hasn’t been a lot of time to update everyone on what’s been going on.

We’ll sit down here soon and do a big recap on some of the things w’eve been working on, but first, we wanted to share one of our new music-inspired art prints that just came off the print tables today. If you know anything about our little studio, you know we’re HUGE vinyl record fans, and out tribute to the 45rpm adapter is going to go well with our collection and yours.

The print is a two color silk screen print on French’s Madero Beach Speckletone 100lb cover stock, measure 7” x 7” (appropriately), and is a signed, open edition. Since the custom mixed yellow really pops against the black, we are going to print a couple more versions in different colors. This print will hit our Etsy shop later this week, and will debut next week when we set up at White Rock Local Market in Dallas on April 13th, along with some of our brand new prints and gig posters.

We’re definitely blessed and really thankful to have so much work coming in, and to be able to share with everyone soon. Though Napkin Art Studios has been operating for nine years now, we feel as though we are finally coming into our own, and things are taking shape in a good and creative way.

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks at new work soon!

Hot off the presses today: ‘Mini Bug (Blue)’, two color silk screen on French Madero Beach Speckletone 100lb cover, 5” x 7”, S/N edition of 30.

This particular version is marked as a test pressing, which is how we now mark and catalog all of our artist proof and registration copy prints. Our love of vinyl knows no bounds…

Version 2 of my “Artists Don’t Work For Free” mantra print. Two color silk screen on 12.5” x 19” French Madero Beach Speckletone 100lb cover. Signed open edition available here.

Teal version of my ‘designer’ record sleeves. Really like how these are coming out. I’ve also decided to include a vintage 45 record with each package of 10 sleeves, which sort of serves as a ‘vinyl records starter kit’ for those wanting to get into vinyl collecting, or add to your existing collection with some swell record sleeves.

These should be hitting the Etsy shop this week. Just need to photograph the packaging and get ‘em online…

The first of several custom record sleeve designs now available from Napkin Art Studios.
