Twister is Relevant Again!

Scattergood Productions was invited to two Inaguration parties last night, and being the ultimate party-goers we are, we decided to bring along a couple of party games.

We printed a Democratic Party twister mat (featuring: Obama! Hillary! Pelosi! and Biden!) complete with spinner as well as two rousing versions of ‘Pin the Ears on Obama.’ Needless to say, both were a huge hit. Left foot Hillary proved to be the downfall of all. Below are pictures of the DNC Twister mat..

Holiday / Moving Cards

Holiday / Change of Address postcard

Since I moved to Portland right around the holidays, I decided to combine my second- annual holiday card mailing with a change of address card and made one postcard.

It features a drawing I made of my new mansion (read: duplex). While sitting on the curb across the street drawing, my neighbor exclaimed that it was “the best drawing of someone’s own house” that she had ever seen. I think there are too many qualifiers in that statement to be considered a compliment. But I digress.

I printed the postcards on 4×6 sheets of Trader Joe’s paper grocery bags using Tory’s gocco printer. I then wrote in my address 435 in red over my door. On the reverse I wrote over the TJ’s print with a sharpie like a normal postcard, added an overpriced 27 cents US postcard stamp and mailed them off to the lucky recievers. Mail art lives!

Scattergood Bros.

My friend/ roomate/ design partner/ David Bowie obsess-ee, Tory Van Wey, and I set up a screenprinting studio in our dining room and began production on our own design group/ event production/ all around creative goodness’ logo and printed the first run of posters. Poster-sized mailers soon to follow.

Scattergood Productions is based out of (but not limited to) Portland, OR. We specialize in concert/ event poster art but cover everything from ephemeral and identity design, Tshirt design, to an upcoming cleaning supplies line. And of course, everything is designed, but also printed by us, in our dining room.

I am officially working the corner of cyberland’s streets.  I will attempt to update frequently with current creative projects to keep my customers satisfied and, ideally, craving more.
