Here are some companies, friends and nemesis (nemesises?... we don't claim to have been english majors) anyway, we think they're pretty cool people.
Sussner Design Co. Tessa Sussner could be a stand up comedian. If she were funny. But seriously, she is pretty funny.
EightHourDay Katie and Nate are likely the nicest people in the world.
Ted Olson Worked at Imagehaus with Jamie. Now designs Burton Snowboards for JDK in Burlington, Vt. Needless to say we now don't like Ted very much.
Rotor Design Matt at Rotor has what we believe to be the largest mutton chops in the world, but we dont travel much.
Anthem Heart These are the super hip kids in the studio right next to ours. They design and print killer clothing and think we can't hear them through the studio walls when they're talking, but we can.
Aesthetic Apparatus One time Dan gave Jamie a beer called "Optimator" and regailed him with an elaborate story about drinking mass quantities of said beer at a bar in Madison and the shennanigans that ensued.
OrangeSeed Design Last year we were on a dodgeball team with Damien and Tonja. Pinkies were broken (Kevin's). Faces were hit (Jamie's— by a team-mate) and we won only one game all season (by default). Oh and our team name was Leprachaun Slaughterhouse.
Formula Werks Ryan runs Formula Werks out of Chicago. They make cool clothes. Check out the site and buy something— he'll probably say 'thanks mang'
Revise CMW Jamie introduced Kevin to some friends. They introduced him to other friends. They happen to be friends with Revise (we didn't know him then). Fast forward 7 years, Kevin met Revise at a graffiti event in Chicago. Wierd. Revise is a graffiti wizard— it's amazing what you can do with masking tape and WalMart cans.
Joey Potts One of our Scumbag Nation brothers. Describing Joey's work is impossible but if we had to— it's like watching your favorite childhood shows on crack, acid and Drano all at the same time.
Scumbag Nation The scummiest scumbags we are proud to be affiliated with.
Uptown Tattoo Jon from Uptown Tattoo has done all of Kevin's Tatt's (that's an industry term) and he helped us shoot all the Minnesota Rollergirls Capital Punishment posters. He's a real cool guy, great artist and also roasted the best pig Kevin has ever eaten.
Kelly Munson We would rather get 'Munsoned' out in the middle of nowhere than mess with this amazingly talented designer.
Spunk Design Machine Jeff had a mohawk the last time we saw him and was wearing a finely tailored suit. No one else could pull that off.
Poster Offensive A super cool poster show promoting peace and democracy that we were very honored to be part of.
Studio On Fire The best letterpress printer in the world. Ben is an insanely nice guy even when you're drunk and ask a million letterpress questions at the Poster Offensive show.
Chank Not only does he have a super cool name, he's also a Minneapolis-based font design Legend. When Kevin first moved to Minneapolis, Chank helped him create the font Newcastle, now known as Newercastle. You can see/buy it HERE.
