<p>My interest in Oakland's <a href="http://swmpdnky.com/">Swampdonkey</a>&nbsp;was heavily biased: His work made their introductions on the cover of the most excellent Small Black/Washed Out 7" (Lovepump United)&mdash;a 45 on constant blast here at SDHQ.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>"I let small black and washed out use an image of mine for a split 7'' they just put out. It's a rarity for me to allow a band to use my work but it's also a rarity that a band asks to use a photo of mine rather than trying to commission me to do an original drawing."</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>But as I googled past the sleeve art, a rad new artist came to view, one with an affinity for warm monsters of burly design. His <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/toothpaw/">flickr</a> drips with mixed-media gems, from the wooly sons of 90s skate imagery to gorgeously composed collages.</p>

<blockquote>
<p><em>"My good buddies at&nbsp;</em><a href="http://www.tworabbitsstudios.com" target="_blank"><em>Two Rabbits Studios</em></a><em>&nbsp;have recently updated their site and online store. &nbsp;If you haven&rsquo;t heard of these fellas, you should put your ears to the ground more often. Though they may be named after a small gentle animal, they are a stampeding herd of buffalos who will trample you with their design and printing skills. &nbsp;They&rsquo;ve done concert posters for all of your favorite musicians and probably your mother&rsquo;s favorites as well.&nbsp;"</em></p>
