Greetings!

June is the month of Jingle Heimer Schongauer Von Schultzendorf! My second book dropped a couple of weeks ago (thanks to everyone who came to the party, it was a blast!) and we will be celebrating its release throughout the month with a nice combo-pack featuring a copy of the new graphic novella, The Bloodied Past of Jingle Heimer S.V.S., a new and beautiful enamel Jingle Heimer lapel pin, and a limited edition shirt to match. The pack will be available through June. However, the goods are available for 25 percent off only for you beautiful newsletter subscribers until Sunday, June 5th! Check out the details below.

Be sure to come out to the First Friday Paseo Art Walk this Friday. Jingle Heimer will be there signing books and unloading combo packs, thanks to our good friend Dayna Brown, the costume director at the Oklahoma City Ballet. Brown recently crafted an awesome Jingle Heimer mask that really brings the character to life (left). I will also have framed and panel limited edition prints available during the art walk.

I will be at my favorite comic shops later this month to sign copies of The Bloodied Past of Jingle Heimer S.V.S. I will be at Empire Strikes, 600 NW 23rd St., on Saturday, June 11, and the following week — June 18 — I will be at Speeding Bullet Comics, 614 N. Porter Ave. in Norman. I will also stop by New World Comics, 6219 N. Meridian Ave., but we are still working out a date for that.
 
I have art shows slated for June 10 at DNA Galleries, 1709 NW 16th St., and June 16 at Urban Teahouse, 7518 N May Ave # D. Come say hello and check out my new artwork!
 
June is “Off the Wall!”
My friend Casie Hobbs will be representing Bombs Away at the Vans employee retreat at Huntington Beach this summer. Hobbs, the Vans Regional Store Manager for Oklahoma, selected Bombs Away to provide original artwork on a pair of canvas slip-ons that she will wear while kicking it on the West Coast with the higher-ups in the company. As a longtime Vans shoe-wearer, I am excited about this project. I will post photos of the shoes on my blog when I finish them.

Bombs Away, every day!

Greetings!
 
The month of May is going to be awesome, and I hope you all are feeling as good about it as I do! I have a new book coming out and I’m excited about some shows coming up that will be fun and showcase a new direction in my work, and as always we have the First Friday Paseo Art Walk tomorrow, where there’s always something special going on at Bombs Away Art. Also, did I mention that I have a new book coming out in a few weeks?!

My second book will feature a new character that has made several appearances in my artwork throughout the years. His name is Jingle Heimer Schongauer Von Schultzendorf, or S.V.S. for short. The book is the second installment in a universe that is also home to the character in my first book, Ivan A. Alexander, and it will be available on May 26. The book, while similar to the first in aesthetics, is about a character that I’ve been working with for years now, and the ink work is my best yet.

New pins & patches available now!

April was a great month. I wrapped up a project with some friends of mine in Ohio who are opening a winery called Skeleton Root in downtown Cincinnati. I designed a label for their rosé called Pegasus and the Fallen Poet. That is also the name of the print that will be available in the gallery for the next two months.  Check out the blog at Bombsawayart.com to see it!

I also worked with my buddies at Western Avenue Boxing Gym, and got a new sandwich board sign for the gallery crafted by @novelandproper and painted by the talented @fradycatdesigns.

I also finished up shirts for Cleveland Elementary’s 5^th grade class, the students are going to look great in them, one of which happens to be my son and another one is my nephew. So, it was an honor to design shirts for the graduates who are moving on to junior high.

I have an art show at urban teahouse on June 15th that will feature new and unique 12x18" panel prints, so be sure to put that in your calendar. Once again, I have a discount for you all, just go to the website and type in BAmonthly20 for a 20 percent discount on your purchase and you will also receive a free Bombs Away enamel pin. Be sure to follow me on all social media (links below), as I am always giving out discounts.

Have a great month!

Bombs Away, every day.

Greetings!

It seems just last week that we hosted OKC artist and radio powerhouse, Jack Fowler at the Bombs Away gallery for March’s First Friday. But, alas, April is here and I’ve got a ton of projects in the works.

Friday, April 1, is not only the first Friday Art Walk in the Paseo, but it is also Allied Arts’ Artini Arcade. The annual event kicks off Friday at the Farmer’s Market and will feature work from several Oklahoma artists (including Bombs Away), restaurants will have tastings and there will also be raffle prizes. Around 800 people are estimated to be there. This is one of the biggest fundraisers for Allied Arts, so please check it out! Tickets can be purchased at http://alliedartsokc.com.

I’m also working on a new subscription club for those of you that can’t get enough Bombs Away goodies. It is still in the works, but I can tell you it will focus on free prints and T-shirts every month for around $20, plus insight, news and other items that I feel like giving away. More on that to come!

My second book is coming along and I’m extremely excited to tell you it will be finished and available to purchase by May 25. I will definitely keep you posted on that, but check on the blogs and media section at bombsawayart.com for more details.

Also in April, Bombs Away will be dropping new shirts off in select stores, so be sure to check back with the blog to find out what is new and where you can find new gear.

Be sure to follow me on social media because I’m always throwing deals out for my followers to take advantage of. 

Also, to celebrate you reading this all the way through I have set you up with a loyalty discount of 20 percent off all products at bombsawayart.com. Tell your friends and they can get in on the action! The offer is good until Sunday at midnight. Type in “BAmonthly20” at checkout.

Bomb Away every day!
