Vancouver 125! @ Tees.ca

2011-06-08T12:16:00.000-07:00

I recently had the good fortune to be asked to contribute a t-shirt design for an art show / tee show put on by Tees.ca in Gastown. The show was initiated to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Vancouver's incorporation as a city! It was super fun to be a part of! Many thanks to the folks at Tees.ca for putting on a great show, and printing some great shirts. Thanks also to the other artists who participated (awesome work people). If you feel the need to clothe yourself in an old-timey looking, short sleeved garment with a fancy picture of William Cornelius Van Horne on it (the CPR man responsible for making Vancouver the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway)...head on over to Tees.ca located at 227 Abbot Street in Gastown. Or...check em out at

Japan-Aid: A Print For Charity

2011-03-21T13:25:00.000-07:00

Hey Folks...I don't have much, but I do have a roof over my head, a great family, and all the drinking water, and food I need. Unfortuantely, the same can't be said for many people affected by the recent disaster unfolding these days in Japan. I thought maybe in some small way I could help out a little by donating the proceeds from the sale of some of my artwork. I would hope that if the big one gets us here in Vancouver, people would offer to help us as well. After all, though the citizens of the world are spread across the globe, as human beings...we are all in this together.

$20.00 will get you one print from a limited edition of 25 three color screenprints on old-timey chipboard paper stock. 14 inches x 14 inches. Printed by my hand, trimmed by my hand, and designed in my very own headbrain. On sale this week! Get em while ya can! 100 % OF PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITY to help aid earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan.

If you are interested contact me at gsolsenposters@gmail.com

SOLD OUT!!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
