Come down to Freetown Studios for some art, beer, birds, wine, and freshly ground and brewed coffee for anybody who would rather get wired than wet. At the opening, one lucky fellow won three egret drawings in the doorprize raffle. We’ll be raffling off some digital prints for the party.

We’re gonna have some fun cuttin’ up in the studio on a Saturday night! If you missed the opening, don’t miss this party!

Had a fun time printing this poster at Freetown Studios under the moniker Freetown Press for Brass Bed & Allison Bohl ON NILLSON.
They will be for sale tonight at the Feed & Seed for the Brass Bed + Rareluth show. I love the image; it’s a composite drawing by the band and Allison. Very nice! The poster comes with a Free Download code for an EP!
