"Hair'em Scare'em" Sneak Preview

Heard from Gestalten today. The book's been designed and will be available for purchase in October. See the sneak preview. It's super impressive!! I'm wicked flattered to be included somewhere alongside the other amazing artists and designers. I wonder what page My Beard is on.

Horne is Getting Published!

This month I was invited to submit the poster "My Beard" (for Sweet Hair) to be published in a book! The book's working title is "HAIRY," and it's being published by Gestalten. I've always loved their books, so this is a huge honor! Here is the project description:

HAIRY, an upcoming title by international art and design book publisher Gestalten, will document and celebrate the beauty and strangeness of hair in a crosssection of contemporary projects in fashion, photography, art and illustration.

EPIC WEEKEND

Good times were had by all this weekend at Los Vesparados and Sweet Hair art shows. I haven't stayed out that late in a loooooong time, which is kinda sad. So fun! Check out the pics I snapped during the riotous merriment.

Sweet Hair poster: PRINTED

Busted this mother out yesterday. And now, with sore muscles, I say to you: Come to the Sweet Hair Poster Show!

W H E N : Saturday, June 13th 7-10 pm
W H E R E : Art Minion (1828 NE Marshall St, Mpls, MN 55418

It's sponsored by Surly Brewing Co. (mmm...beer...) so there will be brewskies! And it's for a good cause: proceeds go to Locks of Love. Come one, come all, get shitty, buy some art, get all your hair cut off and request that it be made into a wicked pompadour wig or something. This is gonna be great.

Sweet Hair Continues...

I just finished my first draft. Gotta add a missing letter to this one, then make sure to exhaust all creative possibilities before I pick the final.

This one would look cool with metallic gold & chocolate brown on off-white stock, yeah?

Sweet Hair BEGINS!

Oh man. It is SO on. With just over 2 weeks to the due date, I have sparked the fire under my own ass to bust this poster out. Perhaps that was worded strangely, but you get my drift. These sketches are just the beginning of something awesome. Remember that poem by Shel Silverstein called "My Beard" from Where The Sidewalk Ends? If not, it goes like this:

My beard grows down to my toes,
I never wears no clothes,
I wraps my hair
Around my bare,
And down the road I goes.

...so cute, right?! This poem was my favorite as a kid, and I can't wait to incorporate it into a poster design. The hair-type from the sketch will spell out the words. A large bearded-man image may be overprinted. (BTW, the guy in the sketch resembles my dad during the late 70's...yay dads!) Check back for design updates, or just come to the poster show!
