KSYM Pledge Drive 2017

Viva KSYM 2017! It's an honor an a privilege to once again be involved and helping celebrate San Antonio College Radio.

Wow, can't believe it's been 31 years since my time back-in-the-day at SAC, working on staff at The Ranger as an editorial cartoonist and photographer while getting my associates in advertising art before moving up to Boston and Massachusetts College of Art in January of 1987. Fast forward to now and holy-cow, it's already year 17 of designing t-shirts, lobby art and official Fiesta medals for both the station KSYM and some of my favorite shows.

Some of those shows -  Brian Parrish's The Casbah, Bobby J's Mainstream 120, Richard Turner's Best of the Beatles, Hank Harrison's Hillbilly Hit Parade and Dan Kliens's Lush Life. Dang time goes by fast! All that said, thanks to all of the above and John Onderdonk for believing in me - ladies and gentlemen here is your new KSYM 90.1 logo for Pledge Drive 2017. I will post shot's of the Fiesta medal as soon as I get samples in hand.

Make your Pledge and get yourself one! 201.486.5796

Viva KSYM and San Antonio College Radio 90.1 FM - Your Only Alternative.

New HMK Art Prints!

Old PhotoRevenue.Ignitor.Bot5

Hey y'all, I've got some new, fresh and totally affordable HMK art posted and ready to hang!


Dig: HMK Art @ Society6.

Although my profit on Society6 is really pretty minimal, hardly enough to offset my phone or water bill, between 5-10 bux a print depending on the size. But, the the awesome and most important thing is that I can finally offer some of my art to folks, family and friends have been bugging me for a piece of my art an amazingly affordable price.

Example: For a mere $40.00 US you can get the above print Los invincible Ignitor. A 12 x12 framed gallery quality Giclée art print on natural white, matte, ultra smooth, 100% cotton rag, acid and lignin free archival paper using Epson K3 archival inks. My take - less than 5 bux...

The frames are made from solid woods, (walnut, pecan and natural) claimed from socially and environmentally responsible forests. Complete with a clean and contemporary 0.75" wide x 1.25" deep profile with a smooth veneer finish. Premium shatterproof acrylic protects the face of the art print, while an acid free dust cover on the back provides a custom finish. Includes wall hanging hardware.

Stay tuned - lots more and a mini HMK show coming soon!

Repost: Real or Fake App


It's been just over 2 years since I shared the first of a handful of Apps I've been working on with my team at CreekFrog, available, of course, at the iTunes Store!

Dig the ultimate party ice breaker:: Real or Fake? Truth Detective!

Hawaii 5-0 - Genius or Lame? The truth - Genius!


Customize your test and share the truth!

Here's an excerpt from the official press release:

"To create a unique visual experience for “Real or Fake? Truth Detective,” CreekFrog collaborated with artist H. Michael Karshis, whose iconic iPod speaker art has been featured in Leander Kahney's Cult of iPod book."

I designed and created the industrial front-end look and feel along with streamlining the original concept.

Totally customizable, Real or Fake is really a sweet little social/party App that truly gets better the more you play and share. It's truly the perfect ice breaker!

Shit or Shinola?



Beatles or Stones?



Boxers or Briefs, Natural or Bottled, you get the idea - check it out, have fun and remember: Nothing Is Real Until It Is Shared!

Cool Fun Weekend Project


Make this Cool Entry Mirror! Great stuff from the smart folks at Lowes, made from a few oak boards and hardboard, this project can be completed in one weekend.

Sweet!

Awesome Before & After


I totally love weekend home projects that are not only realistically doable and affordable, but also those that truly make a dramatic, noticeable and functional impact. Dig this awesome little $85 entryway makeover courtesy of crafty couple Jami & Nato. Made from a small batch of 1x6 and 1x3 boards they've created this killer built-in panel effect complete with hooks and shallow shelves.

Check out all the start to finish photos over at here: The Nato's Entryway Makeover.

Great job guys, thanks for sharing and also thanks to Apartment Therapy.

Truly Affordable Art


Ok, wow, totally stoked! I've finally found the perfect place to share some of my collage art at prices that even I can afford.

Dig: HMK Art @ Society6.

Example: For a mere $40.00 US you can get the above print Reine des Coeurs Retraiter. A 12 x12 framed gallery quality Giclée art print on natural white, matte, ultra smooth, 100% cotton rag, acid and lignin free archival paper using Epson K3 archival inks.

The frames are made from solid woods, (walnut, pecan and natural) claimed from socially and environmentally responsible forests. Complete with a clean and contemporary 0.75" wide x 1.25" deep profile with a smooth veneer finish. Premium shatterproof acrylic protects the face of the art print, while an acid free dust cover on the back provides a custom finish. Includes wall hanging hardware.

Sweet!

Project Mercury Tiki Robot

Insecto Deluxe

My profit on these is really pretty minimal, enough to offset my phone or water bill, between 5-10 bux a print depending on the size, the awesome part is that I can finally offer some of the stuff folks, family and friends have been bugging me for at an amazingly affordable price.

And hey, if you're not digging my stuff feel free to set up your own account, upload some of your own art and go to town!

Sew Awesome


I am so totally digging the work and skills of sewing artist, textile artist, crafts person, maker or simply artist Jennifer Collier.

Her practice focuses on creating work from paper; by bonding, waxing, trapping and stitching I produce unusual paper ‘fabrics’, which are used to explore the ‘remaking’ of household objects.



The papers she uses are treated as if cloth, with the main technique employed being stitch; a contemporary twist on traditional textiles.

All of her works are unique one-off pieces, available in a varierty of different recycled papers. The best part is that the work can be made to order with your own choice of ephemera! Connect and discuss personal commissions and see more of Jennifer Collier's awesome creations over here: Jennifer Collier.
