This week is the New York Auto Show and Thunderdog teamed up with FORD yet again! Similar to the Chicago Auto show, Tristan has painted a set of 3 panels over the course of the weekend to celebrate the new 2009 Ford Flex.

Tristan got one underway early to set the week off right! This new series will feature a more elegant approach of pattern based designs, all subtly erotic in their own way. Tristan also illustrated a mini poster just for the auto show…these will be given away for free, so definitely stop by!

The New York Auto show is located at the Jacob Javitz Center in Manhattan

And check some of the highlights from the Press Preview below…and big up to Lee Quinones and Funk Master Flex who rolled through!

Hello friends and colleagues. We have some major news to drop on you this sunny afternoon. We have been hard at work for months, behind the scenes on many amazing projects…and they are starting to erupt!

First, we are happy to announce the release of SCION SPEAK!

Our president Tristan Eaton, did an in-depth, 6 month research and development project for this along with Scion and super Ad-Agency Strawberry Frog…with awesome results.

The goal was to develop a secret language of images for Scion owners…a vocabulary of icons that they could use to express themselves and communicate through. And of course, Tristan was going to design the whole damn thing! So, after hanging out with Scion owners and car club presidents from coast to coast, we picked their brains, digested their thoughts and went to work.

The result is an extremely beautiful CREST GENERATOR like nothing you’ve seen before. You can design your own crest in every detail! Please go check it out! It just launched yesterday…

Thank you Scion! Thank you Strawberry Frog!

Tristan Eaton was named best Detroit artist in 2008 by Real Detroit Magazine. So, naturally Tristan did the cover of this weeks issue!
Being a big fan of Detroit nostalgia, Tristan set out to make a timeless piece of work chronicling all his favorite aspects of the city - all encompassed by the notorious, old english D!
The Detroit Tigers’ ‘D’ logo has become a logo for the entire city and a brand of pride for Detroiters everywhere, so it was a fitting frame to carry this idea.
