The girls and I were checking out some art the other day at Art House. Here is my favorite piece of the high school exhibit. I wish I’d noted the artists name.
We were getting ready to leave when we stumbled into the back room where we learned a band was going to be playing in a short matter of time. The band was called Horses with Horns. Chamila LOVED this group and I think it was because the singer was a young girl just a couple years older than she was and their songs were about unicorns, playing, and other things little girls are into. To be honest I loved them too. I guess that makes me a little girl.
Brother and sister.
Chamila, Giselle, and I have been working on songs and I think this show really inspired Chamila. Maybe we’ll play shows with Horses with Horns some day.
I SHOULD be posting stuff I do everyday, but I’m not. Hopefully this new “Friday Art” thing will get me to post more. My buddy Daniel gave me these post office labels and I drew on them… Now I will beautify the city with them.
I was at my friend Jeremy’s house a couple weeks ago, for a drawing session, and I was looking through some old photos he’d acquired throughout the years. There were some really good ones but there was one I was crazy about. I had to borrow it and make something out of it. Here is that picture.
Amazing right? What was that third little lady looking at?
Well, I figured it out. I went ahead and jazzed up the image a bit by adding a Jamaican, love-able, monster that goes by Mon (like “hey man” – said with a jamaican accent). Mon just wanted to give these sweet, little, old ladies a giant hug, but you know how little old ladies can be. One of them felt threatened and had to give ol’ Mon a giant zap of laser power in hopes that he would retreat to his native Jamaican Island. Poor Mon.
I printed the 2 color image on sweaty-shop free American Apparel, tri-blend t-shirts and you can pick them up at Parts and Labour on South Congress right now, and all during SXSW.
WOW! John Trippe of Fecal Face visited Jeremy Fish in his studio a few weeks ago while he was preparing for his show at FIFTY24SF titled Ghosts of the Barbary Coast. I was blown away when I checked out the interview and I had to share it with you all. The work for the current show looks amazing!! If you’re in the bay area during the next 10 days you have to go experience this.
We recently created an Etsy store and we are super excited about it. We don’t have much up yet but will start adding more items very soon. Just a couple of days after we created the shop our Laser Fox tee was featured in this blog. Fun!!

These two are a product of a black lumber crayon and loose papers I was able to round up on my desk. They travel together and often times take on different identities. They are charming blokes, but are NOT to be trusted.

Hello world, we are very excited to be bringing you the latest from the Forward Collective front through this here blog. It was not hard to figure out that our first post should be about inspiration. After all most, if not all, creative works come from some sort of inspiration. Well, most of OUR works are created by this source of inspiration, our daughter, Chamila.
