August seems to be quickly approaching, which is kind of a good thing b/c planning a small out-of-state shindig has proved harder than we originally thought it would be.  Wes & I decided on sending out simple 6in x 6in postcards that had a bit of folk art feel to them.

I sketched up an image that included both our home states and the tiny church we’ll be married in.  I then painted the color separately and layered them together to give a slightly silk-screened effect.  We then built our own site (more on that later) and will be letterpressing our own invites with our brand-new (but old) letterpress.

I’m Easy Like Sunday Morning

Sequel.  This is how I picture Skeletor spending his Sunday mornings..  The NY Times, French-press coffee, bagel & cream cheese, some Tang and a fleece throw.  Private commission.

Birthday + Engagement, Squared

Yesterday was my birthday, as well as my brother Justin’s (we’re not twins, I just like stealing attention away from him), and it was definitely a good one..  I got some work done, ate lots of Mexican food and was given the UGLY CAKE!

Birthday Cake Hall of Fame

The best part of the day though was that my bro announced that he and his long-time lady, Kelly, are gettin’ hitched!  I’m officially declaring 2010: Essenpreis Weddingpooloza!

99 Seinfeld References

UPDATE: It’s been a long time coming, but there are T-SHIRTS!

Also, Gallery 1988 is now selling small prints of these for only $10!!  Check ‘em out HERE

So as any die-hard Seinfeld fan knows, references to the show can be made to just about anything.  Since I find myself practicing Seinfeldology almost daily, I decided to take a sampling of these and throw them into a giant heap.  Here’s piece #2 that I created for Gallery 1988′s Idiot Box, a group show all about cult TV classics, (with object key below)..  Serenity NOW!

P.S.  There are a few extra items hidden in the piece for BIGTIME fans.
