Society of Illustrators 51


All of us at popidiot were thrilled to find out that our cover from last years catalogue was chosen to be included in The Society of Illustrators Annual 51. This is the second time in 3 years that something of ours has had the honor of being included in one of Society's annuals, all's we can say is "Thank You!" SI. The opening for the show will be Friday, March 6th, 6:00 - 9:00 at 128 E. 63rd St. N.Y. So if you happen to be at the show and see someone in a ridiculous T-shirt, buy'em a drink.

We look forward to seeing Barry Bruner, another RVA illustrator and fellow Team8press cohort, who was honored to have one of his pieces selected, at the show. Congratulations Barry.

Even though we posted the cover for our catalogue just 4 posts ago, we feel in light of this exciting development that we should go ahead and post it again, please, just humor us.

Now george, behave...



Even though we haven't posted anything in way too long, this post isn't going to be about T-shirts, it's about the sense of relief and joy we're feeling that we finally did something right by not letting yet another election get hijacked by a bunch of money grubbing, short sighted, self interested, entitled pirates.

It looks like the one thing the bush years have given us is a complete repudiation of his administration and everything it stood for. We're going to say something we never thought we would or could, thank you george bush. Without you subjecting the American People to an unthinkably painful eight years, we're not sure that we, the American People, would have had the courage to put someone like  Barack Obama into office.

After watching you over the last couple of weeks, george, doing interview after interview pathetically grasping for something, anything to hang your legacy on that hasn't been tainted by your actions of the last eight years. It seems that the one thing you may actually be able to lay claim to, however inadvertent, is helping to put Obama into office. Let's just hope that Barack, his administration and the American People are up to the Herculean effort that will be necessary to shovel all  the sh!t you've left behind.
