"Seeing pink elephants" is a euphemism for drunken hallucination, caused by alcoholic hallucinosis or delirium tremens. The first recorded use of the term is by Jack London in 1913.
We painted some live posters at the Mashville (Aug 25). We had plans for a panel, but some things don't work out. Here is Rex2's pink elephant design. Check back for AudRoc's version.

Project: Funky Fighter

So Rex2 made the trophies for Funky Fighter (b-boy event), but he wanted to make something for the out-of-town judges and DJs. So he made six of these posters (9" x 24") for them.

Funky Fighter Trophies

You already know WorkForce Rebellion is down with b-boy culture. So Rex2 was happy to create a pair of trophies for Funky Fighter. Funky Fighter is a 2 vs 2 break dance competition going down tonight at Rocketown. The inspiration comes from the 90s video game Funky Fighter, and the pose the main character strikes after knocking out a monster. The winning duo gets $800 and the trophies. We'll let you know who wins.

We're doing another in-store at Phat Kaps. This time it will be Saturday, August 1, 1-3 pm. Stevie Williams from DGK will be there signing autographs. If you get there early you might get one of these 6x9 prints Rex2 made and have Stevie sign it. And KidsMeal will be inside putting down the sounds. This one is going to be extra nice.
