end of january, crazy. didn’t even put together my best films of 2018. mentally i have a list though. i’ll post it.
til then
- thanks to reagan for this cool shot of his lunar calendar in the nasa building, pretty rad. and thanks for dave f. for these tattoo shots, wild stuff.
- chuck jones, cool stuff
- PES trilogy 1 / 2 / 3, amazing stuff
- gi joe / operation star fight, beautiful stuff.
- classic letterman, hilarious stuff
- happy towers, morose stuff
- diving with the tabpoles, frog stuff
no sale this week, in case anyone thought there would be. sarah’s still wrapping up calendar orders. of which i still have 10 left. available through tomorrow, then you’ll have to wait six months and buy one for half price, ha.
captains log 0160
so, everything has shipped. if you didn’t get a shipping notification, drop me a note, sometimes orders drop through the cracks, hate to say it, so the helpful email checkins never hurt my feelings. also, let us know if it arrived in less than good condition, all banged up, folded in half.
if anyone’s interested, i do have a few copies left available here.
special thanks to sarah for all her shipping efforts. she can now get back to her first love, making music.
til next time
- this is sick. i always thought arachnids were cgi. turns out, i was a fool.
- kinda neat seeing something from my early career, not that i made this or anything, but i was in vermont from 2002-2005, working on some burton snowboard stuff. i used to be somebody, as i often tell my kids.
- making a skate video. secrets revealed. bit of language $(@)#%*
captains log 0159
well the calendars have arrived from the printer, so those will be going out soon. apologies on the delay. i’m pretty pleased with how they turned out, glow inks and all.
also coming up, my true romance prints have arrived, so i’ll try to sell those soon. sarah needs a bit of a break in shipping though, so it probably will be a week or two.
til then, behold the protong. i’d really like to track that book down.
- turbo kid jam, pretty nice. race to paris. caped. tons of jams.
- its simple, we kill the Scatman.
- 1POINT95 GIGAPIX. got some zoom on ya.
- oh man, who’s gonna spot me five hundo for a billy zane voicemail?
- robocop. batman.
captains log 0158
just a heads up that sticker packs are shipping, though calendars are finishing up printing so haven’t started going out yet. if you ordered 4 or 5 sticker packs (or more), those might ship in a few different packages. if you have any questions, feel free to a drop me a note. i will keep you updated as i get more info.
til then, listen to pizza guy on repeat.
- or read about charles harrison, goodbye charles and thanks for all the inventions.
- radical face. more like kinda radical, amiright?
- goodbye mean gene and superdave. entertained.
- cinema watches. almost makes me wish i could tell time.
- marvel posters explained! this is poster related and i’ll watch it someday to learn about posters.
- favorite band from college? Twin Sister. incredible live. simply incredible. still got the cd.
captains log 0157
well shoot, thanks for the purchases. i actually had a boatload (official measurement of the seafolk) of stickers, so it took awhile to sell em. so i am happy about the sales. the calendar is looking good as well, slap some glow inks on this baby and boom, got yerself a lunar calendar!
still another day to purchase, but it has probably run its course. and thats ok!
if you’re hoping to present these as gifts for christmas, here are two different certificates you can download and print. let me know if they don’t work. the idea behind the lunar calendar is kinda honoring nasa and the work they do. you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to work there….but it helps. boom, tshirt idea.
in terms of pros and cons, i’ll let them fly to their new homes before revealing them, but there should be twelve (or is it 13???) of them, plus variants of each, so get your checklists ready. i had fun with them. each series typically has 6 characters, so this is Series VI and Series VII. hopefully they prove to be fun to mix and match.
til then, KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES.
ps saw spiderman into the spiderverse and man o man, possible best movie of the year for me.

hi all, thanks for visiting. i’m probably forgetting something due to lack of sleep, but i have stickerpacks for sale, as well as lunar calendar preorders. click here to purchase.
edit: thanks for the orders, much appreciated. working on that sticker certificate now, as well as the lunar calendar certificate.
also, i’ve heard that certain browsers are having issues with bigcartel, my apologies. in particular, chrome. so, if you’re having trouble, that might be a fix, switching browsers. or we can send you a paypal invoice.
let me know if you have any questions. thanks!
captains log 0155
i’ve had a few questions about that true romance print. i’ll have my copies for sale once i get them in hand, definitely after christmas. if you’re on my mailing list, you’ll get the notice.
i’ll also have a sticker pack sale and lunar calendar sale (i hope). just finishing up the calendar, which delays the rest. classic ty.
til then, make sure you wish this guy a happy birthday on saturday, he finally qualifies for social security!
- tim burton’s batman forever
- the call of the wild
- Miyazaki / Working with CGI / The Birth of Boro
- look what this guys up to! killing it.
- more fury road stuff. neat. or this super mario thing. funny.

edit#2: the counters have arrived at a consensus. we didn’t remove/disqualify any comments, just due to the nature of this being a pretty loose contest, i didn’t specify big rules. so going by each comment being a number, the four counters agreed on -
90: Emmanuel A / 173: Brett / 288: Jeremy Adams / 319: Arkadiusz Wisniewski - so if you’re one of these people, drop me an email. i’ll go through the comments and try to find you as well, but if you read this and want to make it easy, email me.
edit: so i have four people going through finding these numbers, i picked four just due to the amount of entries. i’m sure i can find four damaged prints. these four people aren’t aware of each other, so we should be able to get a impartial consensus. that’s the hope. all for damaged prints, i tell ya!
til then, enjoy this holiday season with some non-seasonal links.
- these faces, isn’t that something?
- the reason alien covenant dropped the ball, isn’t that something?
- ronald reagan, wasn’t he something?
- True Romance cut scene with Jack Black, that was something!
- this instagram teaser that people emailed me about, something!?
also, i have a person who has emailed me a few times looking for this print, let me know if you have it and are interested in selling, i’ll put you in touch. its such a specific print, done so long ago, i’d like to help him find it. anywho.
captains log 0153
so, shipping has completed, if you don’t have tracking on your orders, plus let us know.
thanks again for all your orders and for helping me look like a normal business person in front of sarah. she has her doubts, believe me.
hopefully next week we’ll have some smaller items for sale. will update as i know more.
til then -
- this greatest showman wasn’t the best movie of 2017, but i gotta say, amazing soundtrack. talk about chemistry.
- Y2K aesthetic. turns out, the decade that time forgot actually did have a style. not a good one, but still.
- crazy cool tom and jerry sculptures. interesting hellboy article about the mignola empire.
sad to hear one of brush prairie’s own - Army 1st Sgt. Eric M. Emond - lost his life serving, wanted to take a moment to give thanks to him and his family for his service. hard news to bear.
captains log 0152
EDIT: so, on this artprint, the edtion is 114, which was kinda a reference to this. i mistakenly said the edition was 100, so if you purchased and that extra 14 is killing ya, let us know and we can get your money back. and actually since none of these have shipped, we can always refund all the way up til shipping, if you change your mind. also, i’ve had two emails from people recently that ordered way back in july whose posters never arrived, lost within the gears of the us postal service. if your order never arrived, please email us, we always want to know, no matter how long its been.
posters are packing up and shipping this week, so hopefully you receive shipping notice, let us know if you haven’t received one by december 3rd. thanks again for the emails and orders, hopefully new stuff on the horizon.
til then, some links that i thought were neat.
- wes anderson color palettes
- burger king ad. yep, makes sense.
- aliens comic versions, in order of readability. supposedly.
- enter the ninja. one of the better death scenes.
- this sums up my career in some ways. in a fun way? maybe.
- i hate this. and now you can too.
captains log 0151 - poster sale
updated edit: looks like the sale has ended, appreciate the orders, sorry i wasn’t given more prints to sell, with many properties i’m only allowed x amount to sell. i do appreciate all your interest. i’ll have another big print in less than a month, plus another few odds and ends that hopefully are a little less limited. thanks again for the kind words. sarah loves reading through all your emails.
—————————————————————
so, i have some posters for sale. my Isle of Dogs print for Spoke Art Gallery, my Phish poster for their austin show, another artprint. They’ll be dropping here, not exactly all at once, but just close enough to spread em out, give em each their own moment in the sun.
we’re limiting people to one copy of each thing. so one isle of dogs print. one phish print. one artprint. you can buy a dogs print and a phish print for instance, but not a regular and variant isle of dogs print. if that makes sense.
as always, appreciate your support, email me at info@tstout.com with questions.
captains log 0150

long time no update. i actually have a movie print making its way through the approval process, plus some smaller things printing, my goal is by years end to have two movie prints available, an artprint, some sticker stuff and handbill stuff, and a lunar calendar. not all at the same time, but spaced between now and then. so stay tuned if you’re on my mailing list.
til then, heres some links that caught my eye. my buddy tom sends me lots of links, so thanks to him for some of these.

- longtime portlander will vinton has passed away. local legend.
thanks for all the kind words recently, always appreciated. our family lost our Uncle Chuck today, not suddenly but taken far too soon at 74. as i grow older, my role models start passing, and he was one of them - gave great advice, loved people, loved listening, loved fishing (he was famously a catch & release guy). served as a captain in vietnam, worked for Washington State’s Fish and Wildlife service almost his entire life, volunteered as a CASA worker. incredibly gifted with woodworking. our neighbor. just an amazing human being (or “wonderful” as he’d say). my kids love listening to this on repeat and today it struck me how much Life really is the greatest show, and he was part of our show. seeya on the other side, Chuck.

hey all, its that stressful time of year again. i have some prints for sale, go here to read more info.
i actually have a few different things going on, so definitely if you have a chance to peruse that whole blog post, give'r a read through.
edit: looks like some prints have already sold out. always worth mentioning, bands only let me sell a very limited amount. they sell the majority of the prints at the show. i wish i had more prints to sell, i like making money sometimes, but i only have what i have, when they're gone they're gone.
edit part II: hopefully sarah has been responding or will respond to any queries, i usually stop checking emails during sales because i have whats known as 'weak constitution' when dealing with people that may be upset. so sarah deals with the emails, good and bad, while i watch Fright Night on the tv. that Brewster, he's so cool. anywho, sales pretty much over, this will continue through the night (but no more surprise drops). make sure you check out this letterpress, printed in the hills of hockinson by adventure storeys, i think it'll be a nice one. they also printed this one, awhile back.
captains log 0144
hey all - just a heads up that this week i'll be sending out a mass email regarding poster sale stuff. no reason to keep hitting refresh, the email will arrive and all will be well. if you're interested in a poster i mean. it's ok even if you're not interested, i think.
til then, enjoy the apocalypse.
- rip harlan ellison. this advice from him has stuck with me for years as a freelancer. too real.

captains log 0143
well shoot, i'll have a sale eventually, sorry about the delay. soon as i finish a poster, i'm like 'lets do it!' then another poster deadline crops up and the kids are wrapping up school and sarah can't ship stuff and it all goes to arizona. i'll go bankrupt eventually.
BUT, its in the works, probably not next holiday week, but definitely the week following, TREY, KENDRICK, IMAGINE, FOO F'ers, another band, art print, some older stuff to pay for dog vet bills. it'll happen! it has to, right?
til then, enjoymo

i've had a few emails about trey and foo fighter prints, they only let me sell a fairly small amount, so i figured i'd save up prints to have a sale worth checking out, if that makes sense. appreciate all the emails though! soon, soon.
also - unrelated (or related) - i'll have some older prints for sale down the road as well, my dog iggy had some serious medical issues and it was either spend more money than a person should spend on a dog or realize that everything is temporary and there are more important things in this life than household pets that have lived to the ripe age of 9. so yeah, i got some credit card bills to pay. iggy's fine though, so there's that.
til then, smoke em if you got em.
