Local Beatles mural gets family-proofed

For the Minnesota History Center's opening of the new Beatles photography exhibition, "One Night Stand in the Heartland," MNHS program associate Aleah Vinick was tasked with making Matt Scharenbroich's huge Sargent Pepper painting (with holes cut out for heads) family-friendly. The painting, which is full of local luminaries like Scott Seekins, Prince, P.O.S., and Lori Barbero among others, also includes a scantily-clad Har Mar Superstar.


The solution? a pair of Velcroed-on shorts!

Matt Scharenbroich debuts new Lookbook t-shirt design

We're loving the new t-shirt design by Matt Scharenbroich for local electro two-some Lookbook. After his various poster art designs for local bands Grant Cutler and the Gorgeous Lords (for which Matt happens to play drums) and Zoo Animal, this will be the illustrator's first foray into t-shirt design. (Here's a little added trivia for you - Matt used to be the drummer for seminal Minneapolis post-punk band The Plastic Constellations.)

As Matt says via his facebook page, "Made this new drawing for the band Lookbook. It's gonna be printed with ink on t-shirt material, then you can wear it on your body." We want one!
