ALOHA UTOPIA - My Day at the Punk Rock Flea Market 2011

Below are some pics I snapped real quick throughout our (myself and Jennifer Gin's) day at this year's Punk Rock Flea Market, graciously put on by R5 Productions. We debuted our new prints for our collaborative project entitled ALOHA UTOPIA (we just launched a new tumblr for it!)

7:45 AM

Jen Pick-Up, she was so excited she didn't even open her eyes for this picture.

8:15 AM

We arrive and find that our table number is 69, I find this hilarious, Jen not so much.

8:30 AM

Our walls are up and securely clamped to the table, Jen starts to set up and hang our prints. The big orange one she is holding is really awesome. (better pic here)

9:00 AM

All Set Up!

A picture of our minimal table spread that only had promo cards, which went fast,

and a quick blurb.

9:30 AM

Other vendors are beginning to arrive, I think all told there was about 140 tables.

Things were about to get crazy.

9:45 Am

We decide to take a quick walk around and check out the scene. Yes, that is in fact a clear dress on the end of that clothing rack.

9:50 AM

Almost came up on a new whip. Brand Spanking New.

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Craziness, I saw and talked to a lot of people. Thanks to everybody who came by and bought something, was hyped on our table, or just said hello real quick. All in all it was a crazy day, definitely one to remember.

We've also got some big things coming up, please stay tuned and in the meantime check out our ALOHA UTOPIA TUMBLR that we will update FREQUENTLY. Thanks!

I'm excited to announce that I will be debuting a new set of collaborative prints at this year's Punk Rock Flea Market, put on every year by the amazing R5 productions. I have been drawing and collaborating steadily with my friend Jen Gin on some drawings, for a project we are calling ALOHA UTOPIA! The Punk Rock Flea Market will be held in a warehouse across the street from the Starlight Ballroom (exact address is 461 n. 9th street) on December 11th (Sunday) from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. I think its like $3 to get in.

Below is what we have to say about it so far:

"Hello/Goodbye from the most horrific/wonderful place on earth, one that can only be felt by the mind’s eye. A place so intrinsically ridiculous it defies all form of reality, and whether or not it exists is uncertain.

Aloha Utopia is a collection of prints by Jen Gin and Bradford Haubrich that embody the creative spirit, striking a balance between complete nonsense and perfect understanding. Enjoy walking the line between this/that with us.

Have a good day/night

-Brad & Jen"

Hand Colored Digital Prints

I have two editions of hand colored digital prints for sale at TrickGo boutique in center city Philadelphia. TrickGo recently opened it doors on the Friday, September the 18th, and I am proud to have some products on its shelves. Each image is in an edition of 15 and is a hand-colored digital print on bright white water color paper. I believe they may add these prints to their online shop soon, check back for updates.

Have a look at TrickGo

My Flickr account has photos that chronicle the process of making these hand-colored prints

some prints ... (?!?)

Lately I have had the good fortune of working on some really fun projects. Above is a small preview of some mixed media prints that I recently finished and am very excited about. I will have more details about when and where they will be released in the coming weeks. Thanks.
