Charlie's Pool Room T-Shirts
Super super limited edition. John (pictured) emailed me about a year ago that him and his wife and some buddies were driving from Virginia to New Jersey to visit the legendary Charlie's Pool Room and wanted to make some shirts for the trip.
These are not for sale anywhere, although I do believe there is one at Charlie's among their permanent collection of memorabilia and press clippings.
They ran off a total of 6 shirts using cafepress and my artwork which was originally done for Serious Eats ( also available as a print in my store) and I'm surprised how good they look. Thanks to John G Douglas for sending the photos.
Charlie's Pool Room is one of the most unique hot dog places in the country.. think combination candy store, pool room, and outsider art shrine, with hot dogs. Delicious, delicious hot dogs, shallow fried in a pan and topped with Grandma Fencz's secret hungarian sauce.

Pizza Brain Update
YES, Pizza Brain, the Worlds First Pizza Museum and Restaurant is open for business. And NO, the Pizzalebrity Wall Of Fame Mural I'm working on in the backyard - featuring something like 150 famous / infamous / not really famous at all Philadelphians devouring pizza together - is not finished, but if the backyard is open you can come check it out in progress, or just go there to check out the amazing museum and pizza.
This massive mural, including everyone from Cosby and Ben Franklin to the Broad Street Bullies, Mikey Wild and most of the Pizza Brain family - probably the biggest project I have ever (attempted) to do in my life - should be done in about two weeks. If you want to follow the progress check out pizza brain and myself on twitter or better yet instragram where there's tons of progress shots from the last few months.

Paintings for The Wurst Bar in Ypsilanti, Michigan
Recently finished these 4 paintings for The Wurst Bar in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Really cool place with a menu of all house-made sausages including a bunch of veggie stuff. Yet another place I've worked for that I really wish was closer so I could eat the food.
Stuff looks awesome, right? I'm a big fan of anything Pimento Cheese and those Nacho Tots look crazy. All the pictures I've seen the food looks really tight and well executed, they aren't just slopping this stuff together, and looks like a great beer list going on too.
These dudes were also great clients to work with and very patient with me juggling this along with a massive mural and about 100 other projects this summer. Go check them out if you're in the area. Oh and check out some process pics below.
