MN Pride

I was super excited to find this in my inbox this morning. Sean Kelsey of St. Paul got a tattoo of my MN Pride design! This is the first time I've ever seen anything that I designed become a tattoo, so needless to say I was blown away. Shane Wallin from Twilight Tattoo did an AMAZING job making the finished piece look exactly like the print. Much respect and a million thank yous to Sean and Shane for making this happen!

Minnesota's Largest Candy Store

Autumn is finally here, and one of my favorite things to do when the season hits is to take the drive out to Jordan MN for a visit to Jim's Apple Farm, AKA Minnesota's Largest Candy Store. The BRLSQ crew first discovered this magical place as we were driving out to Windom MN last year for Aaron Horkey's "Midwestern Heart" art opening and we all instantly fell in love. A giant yellow barn on the side of Highway 169 situated about 45 minutes SW of Minneapolis, this is your one stop shop for local apples, homemade pies, pumpkins, smoked meat products, and just about every kind of obscure candy you could imagine.


The giant yellow barn. Hard to miss.

Aaron Draplin Minnesota: Hunting Season Edition
Artist: Aaron Draplin

We are back with a third edition of one of our most popular prints. Autumn 2011 is just about here, so Aaron Draplin came back to pay homage to Minnesota in bright blaze orange hunting colors! Don't let your computer monitor fool you - that orange ink is eyeball-burning, hunter-deflecting fluorescent orange! Maybe our favorite colorway of this bad boy we've done.

Edition of 175 prints, signed and numbered by Mr. Draplin when he stopped by our studio in early September 2011.

Minnesota Pride mini print
Artist: Peter Bekke

In the Fall of 2009, our very own Peter Bekke (A.K.A. Petey Wheatstraw from the Wants Vs Needs DJ crew) approached us with an idea for a t-shirt design that celebrates the people and places which make Minnesota great (Settle down Louie Anderson fans, your man made the cut). The shirt has been a smash hit and has had a lot of you asking for an art print of this design. Here it is - cool local things plus Petey's ice cold handstyles. It's a match made in Minnesota. This makes a great gift for a Minnesota-born friend who's moved away from home.

Minnesota Migration
Artist: Wes Winship, Mike Davis, Dan Black

This poster was created for one of our SXSW 2008 events, a collaborative showcase between Modern Radio Records and Burlesque. A bunch of our favorite Modern Radio acts and other Twin Cities groups played an outdoor showcase down in Austin and rocked it in the pocket. BRLSQOTHEQUE DJs (Mike 2600 & Wezz Winship) spun rap and funk tunes inbetween sets. The artwork for the print was a three-way collaboration between Burlesque's Wes and Mike and our talented friend Dan Black from Landland.
