LO-FI TAKES THE STREETS 2026

For my third year doing the artwork for Jersey City's Low-Fidelity bar's LO-FI TAKES THE STREETS festival, I did a vintage sci-fi pulp pastiche (along with a TWILIGHT ZONE tribute and a character from an obscure Harvey Comics superhero comic book, JIGSAW). Plus, I apparently cannot help myself from tossing in a little slice of cheesecake. Sorry not sorry. 

Below are the print poster, tee-shirt, Instagram post, the individual characters, and the primary inspiration, the Feb., 1955 issue of GALAXY SCIENCE FICTION.

Die / Cry / Hate

 This is not a call for people to embrace the dark side so much as it is a response to the saccharine (and almost always esthetically offensive) "Live Laugh Love" trope that so many Americans who purchase yard flags seem to enjoy. Because, gross. I'm also posting the original line art, pre-Procreate cleanup. 
This is available at the Tough Guy TeePublic store as a shirt, sticker, mug, tote, all that stuff. Show the world that you're not Buscaglian! 

Lo-Fi Takes The Streets 2025 poster / tee-shirt

My second year doing the artwork for Jersey City's Low Fidelity Bar's terrific music / food festival, Lo-Fi Takes the Streets. The edict this year was to create a retro spy esthetic, which was not hard for me to get excited about. Here are the final poster and tee-shirt along with alternate logos and some prep work.

 Because "TACO" can't be the only food-related acronym to describe Dear Orange Leader... 

Barcade Family Day

 New graphics (and some process and rejected designs) for Barcade's Family Days (which occur at most locations once a month). 

First design for family was less cartoony. 

Jersey City Flippers tee

The Jersey City Flippers are a pinball league that's been based out of the Jersey City Barcade location since 2017. When the news broke last month that (due to a lease expiration and extreme gentrification) Barcade JC would be closing in June, the Flippers had to acknowledge that (given there's no other venue in town with enough pins to have a tournament) it was time to call it a day. 

To commemorate the end of an era, the Flippers asked me to design a commemorative T-shirt, which is available (along with other merch) on my TeePublic page here. 

The shirt references seven pinball games that have been a part of the legacy of Barcade's game selection: 

Taxi, Addams Family, Future Spa, Medieval Madness, Champion Pub, Pulp Fiction, and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
