Hello!

We’re off to Brazil today…for what I assume will be the time of our lives. We have a jam packed schedule with murals, parties, exhibitions and art projects from Rio to Sao Paulo. For detailed info on locations, times etc, keep an eye on: WWW.THUNDERBLOGSPOT.COM.

And thanks to our sponsor GRAPHOTISM MAGAZINE, we’ll be writing a story on the whole project for one of their upcoming issues. (So we got that going for us!)

The tour starts tomorrow, so check the info below and if you are in the area or know someone who is - spread the word!

The tour will be ending in a big finale at MINI GALLERY in BELO HORIZONTE, check their website for info too: www.mini-arte.com

And just for fun, here is a sneek peak at Tristans’ new painting for the show.

‘POSTCARDS FROM AMERICA!’

24″ tall, spray paint on metal, with simulated weathering.

Thanks for your support everyone…stay tuned.
