Pop Brollies - The Lusties St. Michael Umbrella

So I've actually been busy. Not doing piddly little stuff and avoiding all the projects I dream up, but actually busy, creating stuff. Whodda thought right? So what have I been making? I've been painting umbrellas. I've been lusting for some great oversized prints. I want big bold graphics that smack people in the face not because you're unable to control your umbrella in the high Chicago winds, but because the designs are just that great. Which brings me to...

First was the St. Michael Lusties umbrella. Made for my friend St. Michael who plays, you guessed it, in the Lusties. Crazy isn't it. This is a 48" wide black umbrella handpainted in 5 colors.

And here's the other side of it
You can't even imagine how hard it was to do this logo, but I love it. It has a faint shimmer to the name thanks to the opalescent ink.

It goes a little mainstream as an idea but I wanted to help promote the band for him.

I am currently developing the first line of Pop Brollies, check back soon for the official announcement. Custom designs are made on request. Please contact me either here or through my etsy account
