Wu-Sciples on sale now!

What better way to celebrate Wu-Tang’s 20 year anniversary than with the release of Wu-Sciples, a ten color print celebrating one of the rawest groups in music. This print has been a long time in the making for us at Two Rabbits. When we had the idea we knew only one person could illustrate it right, Adam Hathorn aka Honkey Kong. We were already major fans of Adams work. He has illustrated jobs for us, been a great host when we were in San Diego and he is one of the best tattoo artist we know. Adam is also Wu obsessed, like us. With that said here is Adam in his own words…

“So far as my memory takes me, my introduction to Wu Tang was when 36 chambers was released in 93. I had to wikipedia that, my memory is not that good. My friend Strobe Beats played me “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing ta Fuck Wit” on a walk man, or some shit, in the cafeteria. The beat made me wanna punch people, much like the hard core and punk rock music that I was listening to at the time. I immediately got a copy, and it was on constant rotation. That was what got me back into hip hop music. Previously I was listening to alot of Public Enemy and alot of the native tongue stuff, Tribe Called Quest, LONS, De La etc. After that hip hop was getting boring. I was young and turned to hard core music, especially in Boston where it thrived at that time. When Wu came with that raw sound with production that was stripped down and unpolished, it was an easy step back in. Wu Tang has been a huge part of music in my life since. I’m sure there’s been few days since that have passed without me hearing Wu in some form. I tattoo all day, or draw all day, so there’s some form of music always playing, and there’s plenty on shuffle.

I was lucky enough to be asked by the guys at Two Rabbits Studios to create the “Wu-sciples” print. Their idea was solid out ofthe gate. Wu Tang last supper with Big Baby Jesus front and center. I said sign me up. The illustration took a bit to do since they’re artist deep, but nonetheless a fun project. Thanks for choosing me to do this print, see you Saturday for the show….. Wu Tang is FOREVER!” -Adam Hathorn

1st layer is white. Screen is locked and loaded.

We thought the white was going to be one of the hardest layers to print because of the large ink are, but it went pretty smooth.

Silver layer.

Silver was a good base for some overlapping in the next layers. We believe in as much bling as possible.

Light brown was 3rd. The browns proved the hardest to mix. Getting the right shade took a while.

Here is Jerry printing the light brown.

Medium brown is layer 4.

Layer 5 the last of the browns.

Layer 6 dark red.

Racking the prints.

We wanted a really rich deep dark red.

Layer 8 Gold. Only Old Dirty himself gets the gold robe.

It wouldn’t be a Wu print without that yellow. Layer 8.

Here is Amy printing the yellow.

Layer 9 orange adding all the little highlights.

Layer 10 black key line.

Bringing it all together with layer 10.

More detail shots.

Black layer drying.

“Two rabbits printing Honkey Kong is already no joke but it got real real serious when the two come together for the Wu inspired ‘Gods at the last supper’! -Isaiah The Toothtaker

TRAILER PARK BOYS!

admin — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 17:12:36 +0000

The boys performed live at The Sasquatch Music Festival this year, or as Bubbles would say, the “Samsquamtch” Festival. In preparation we watched the entire series in the office in record time. We decided that the easy way out would be to show love to Bubbs, Julian, or Ricky. So we decided to pay homage to the most tormented soul in Sunnyvale: Jim Lehy. Drunk, bald, and obsessed with cleaning up the park of $#!* rats.

We bring you “Jim Lehy’s guide to COP TALK: Listen and Learn” A visual field guide to the wild world of $#!*…

H.I.M. Screamworks Print

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 02:41:35 +0000

The H.I.M. album has dropped and all the posters we printed for this have been shipped. Around September of last year we got a call from Matt Taylor over at Varnish Studios about helping create natural printing flaws for the cover of the new H.I.M. album. We were stoked about the project because it was a great break from the daily routine. While in the studio we basically did our best to destroy the print. Layering multiple colors, spraying with water, etc. You can check out a montage of those here…

Then in early December we got a call from WB about possibly printing the cover image as a print. Well hell yeah we would. It was a chance to really collaborate and to become a part of the image. It was also a project that helped us think outside the box as a printer. We basically created 5000 monotype prints. Each one of the first layers are slightly different. We got to mix ink, spray water, create textures etc.

Thanks to Michelle Ward for gathering the user photos and compiling them for us.
Make sure to check out her blog here. You can also check out the forums to see some of the other prints that people got here.

Here are some photos of the actual printing of the posters.

Get your rack on girl!
