Weekend Events

We have family in town this weekend, but if you are free, there are two events you should check out today. This afternoon, Spokes and Ink is at the Genesee Center for Arts and Education. There is a bike poster sale, printing demos, live music and more.

I had a poster in the sale again this year. I featured an enterprising spider who wished he had a bike.

In the morning, The Fast & The Furriest is being held near Rochester Animal Services at Brown Square Park. There is a 5K, 10K, Dog Walk and a Pet Festival with food trucks, pet vendors, pet contests and more. Plus adoptable cats are $10 and dogs are $20! Take home a new friend!

Spokes and Ink 2013

This Sunday is Spokes and Ink Fest at the Genesee Center for Arts and Education! I am super bummed to be missing it, as I'll be in San Diego. I tried moving flights and vacation around every which way and just couldn't get it to work. It's my favorite event at the Center as it combines bikes and print! If you are in town, you must go!

This is my poster submission for Spokes and Ink this year! It will be for sale along with other bike posters at the festival. The design has to be 100% original so I recreated that map of Rochester in Illustrator. That. Took. Forever.

These are some pictures I took at Spokes and Ink last year.

Bike beauty shots!

Some wood type and other letterpress pieces.

LJC in wood!

Inky.

Ready to print! They will have letterpress postcard printing again this year and lots of other fun activities, bands and food.

You can check out all the info at the Spokes and Ink website. The festival will be noon to 6pm on Monroe Ave and Oxford... across from the Starbucks. Please go and have a good time for me!

Spokes & Ink

Today was Spokes & Ink at the Genesee Center for Arts and Education. I had a poster up for sale along with others to raise money for the Center. They also had bands (Aprille's brother's band the Moon Zombies!), postcard making and food vendors (Le Petite Poutine Truck!).

Aaron fixed up his Schwinn Twinn for the event. Look familiar?

Spokes & Ink 2012

I was excited to hear that a date has been set for the next Spokes & Ink Bike and Poster Fest. My bike and I were there last year and it was fun!

Artists can submit posters for sale at the event and there will be food, music and more. I've started kicking around a few ideas for my poster this year.

So save the date, tune up your bike and check it out!

Spokes and Ink party

Today was Spokes and Ink at the Genesee Center for Art! There were some great posters for sale.

I was pretty excited to see my "Biking Like Cats and Dogs" hanging up there. A few people there were buying it so I'm hoping for a nice amount to dontate to Lollypop Farm.

I made a letterpress Spokes and Ink card.

Tina and I biked there and there were lots of others that did too. I spent some time eyeballing the other bikes.

Overall it was a great event and I'm hoping they do it again next summer.
