So there was a little bit of confusion and some folks thought that maybe Louie and Jerry would be for sale or on display at the Familia thing on Saturday, but those are for the Enjoi show at HVYW8 next weekend in Ell Eh?, Californ-eye-aye. They will not be at the Familia show, but will eventually be on sale here at Burlesque.
But, we did print this sweet little 3-color for the Familia show. Not too bad for a day’s work. Bangup printing job by bangyman.
It has come to our attention that a number of our posters have recently been illegally and cheaply reproduced and resold under the guise of being original Burlesque prints or, in one case, original artwork.
If you ever have a question about the authenticity of a Burlesque poster, please feel free to ask us and we’ll do our best to help clear up any confusion.
Burlesque’s favorite skate shop, Familia, is opening up their new store in Minneapolis this Saturday, featuring a Todd Bratrud Art Show. So why isn’t Todd writing this? I don’t know. He’s busy “drawing” or something. We’re just wrapping up a pair of prints of deck art for Enjoi Skateboards: Louie and Jerry the Octodeer. Anyway, that Familia thing…Noon to 6 at their new shop, 2833 Hennepin Ave. S. Click the photos for more of these prints in production.
6 color screen print for a Grails concert in San Diego. This version will be exclusive to the BRLSQ online store while an alternate color way will be available from the band at the show and at postersandtoys.com.
i got axed to do this little project for RedBull a little bit back, the thing was to create 250 pieces of art for RedBull to use as Valentines Day gifts for a bunch of the people they deal with in one way or another. so what i did was make 6 x 6 inch screen prints of the black line art for 8 different hearts with banners that were left empty. i then hand painted each and every one of them and wrote something different in each banner, a bit of an undertaking, but in my eyes it was worth it. i didnt get photos of any of them on their own, but Kelli from RedBull sent me this photo of the group as a whole, figured id share it with alla y’all…
Here’s a Jimmy joke about your Mama that you might not like: We heard she tried to front on Jimmy 2 Times. Check out our main man pullin’ off a hoo-ride of a mix of unforgettable Dre classics in honor of our other main man’s birthday celebration. It’s amazing what one man can do when BRLSQ locks him in a room with a gang of weed and won’t let him out till he’s finished both the indo and the mix. What up 4am upload?

Just about three and a third years ago, grinding it out in the six floor spot in the Spice Factory. It was known as Auxiliary Studios, shared by BRLSQ, Amy Jo and Unitus.
The piece I’m working on was for Southern Lord and their bands Sunn0))) and Boris for a string of special dates playing together, I believe for the first time on the West Coast. They were somewhere in the middle of the Alter sessions. Aaron aka A. Horkey did pretty much all the art on this one coming with the awesome tree with glowing Model T tube. I suggested having the tree radiating energy out to spectral figures to represent each band member (plus Joe Preston), around it’s perimeter as if they were at a seance. O’Malley and Aaron liked the idea and incorporated it into the art. I then added the background sky, separated and printed that bootch with several different people helping me out by racking and cheering me (on like Mike in the video).
Two separate editions for over 500 total prints with this image. We shipped them a bunch then Letta and I hit San Francisco for the Halloween “Altar” show there, dropping off another batch of prints while we were at it. The same day, we delivered prints to the Melvins who were playing with Jello Biafra and a bunch of other Alternative Tentacles bands. We managed to catch both Sunn0)) and Boris then head out and catch the Jelvins show too. Jeezus. Anyway, Sunn0))) and Boris liked the art so much, when it came time to release “Alter”, they used it for the cover along with some elements for the tour poster we did for them the following spring. I’m thinking about bringing that hair back. Not the hand pulling of full sheets though.
