Commandantes,

We would like to extend a heartfelt thanks everyone who attended the Full Coverage exhibition!

Your presence helped make the event a great success. Don’t think that we’ve ever seen that many people try and cram into a gallery before. Would also like to thank everyone for understanding the photo policy and for showing such deference to the collectors who disrobed before the crowd.

If you’d like to see some photos from the exhibition you can visit Flickr where Gallery A.D has posted a few images from the evening. You can also find some info over at the Needled website. The San Jose Mercury News (not withstanding what they did to Gary Webb) posted some info on their site as well as a video clip from the evening. In addition, The Metro also wrote up something.

One more big thanks to everyone who purchased a copy of the Full Coverage box set at the exhibition and/or convention in San Jose. We’re now all that much closer to compensating the printers.

What’s next? The Full Coverage exhibition is going on a multi city tour. First up is Tampa, FL. This event will be held at Phil Holt’s gallery and tattoo workspace Redletter1 on Saturday, Dec 2, 2006. If you weren’t able to attend the San Jose event because of great distances, i.e. you’re living on the east coast or something, this is an opportunity to see Full Coverage up on the walls.

Thanks again for all your support!

Commandantes,

Dig this… the shipment of Full Coverage books arrives. Seven pallets of boxes showed up and were unloaded in the street. We started bringing the boxes inside. Of course excitement was high so we opened one of the boxes and it was full of… backpacks… with little IBM logos on them… 188 cases of them… no shit.

So where are the books? Oakland, London, Zimbabwe? Was a tense few days but fortunately the shipment was located and promptly drop shipped… again. Long story short, we got the books!!!

Just started stenciling images onto all of the custom boxes. Kind of tedious but makes the package all the better. The extra box will be available to anyone who acquires copies at the exhibition or via the web. Will be able to release the first copies at the exhibition on Oct19. Plan to release on the web on or around the Oct 24 (heads up to low number hunters).

Also are busy installing all the photos (1.. ..2.. ..3) for the exhibition on Thursday. So far so good, about halfway there. Just a few days away… hope to see many of you there.

As always, thank you for the backing.

-NSK
