Thanks for buying Ride the Lightning!

Thanks to everyone who purchased our Ride the Lightning print, especially the little girl who wanted our print for her bedroom because her favorite TV show was The Munsters. How cool is that?!?! My fav TV show when I was a kid was also The Munsters :D I thought Lily was the prettiest woman ever!

There were a lot of great posters at the show... Ride With Friends was one of our favorites and Hey, Nice Space Bike was a crowd pleaser! We're looking forward to doing a submission for next year. We already have a few ideas :)

Wild Goose Creative is also selling the Pinchflat posters on their site! So if you didn't snag one at Paradise Garage, you can still get one online!

Pinchflat Bicycle Poster show to sell our FIRST print "Ride the Lightning"

YEA! Our first print "Ride the Lightning" will be at the Pinchflat Bicycle Poster Show in Columbus, Ohio on May 4, 2013! It's a 12.5″x19″, 3-color screenprint that glows in the dark that was printed by Pinchflat Press! All posters in the show are created by central Ohio artists & will be sold for $30 in the summer months during Bike the C-Bus! There will be a poster party at Wild Goose Creative Saturday, May 4, 12-5pm and will include great music, food, art fun, bike rides, and posters sales. Then posters will be at Paradise Garage during Gallery Hop during the whole month of May.

There's also a preview night on Friday, May 3 from 5 to 7:30 at Wild Goose Creative where you can purchase tickets to buy copies of posters in advance of the general public as well as hear stories about the poster creation process from many of the artists.

Our poster is now for sale in our Etsy shop.

We were influenced by Brian Ewing's monster series, although our art is no nowhere close to being in the same league as his.

She's so happy!

This is a simulation of the glow-in-the-dark since I couldn't get a good photo in the dark :)
