About me:
I live and work in a house with 3 roommates in Midtown Minneapolis called Motel Jim. In September 2008 I will be celebrating 4 years of being a self-employed full-time artist, which is also the same amount of time I have been living without owning a car. I play drums in the band Ten Extra Pounds, and guitar in Fatty Acid. I like to think I am a good cook, and I know I am a happy drunk.
And now, for my professional bio:
A veteran of the comic book, rock poster, gallery, bookstore, and even gaming worlds, DWITT might just be the most ubiquitous artist whose name you’ve never learned… until now. Under the influence of varying quantities of caffeine, endorphins, canned beer, and Slayer albums, David Witt is a man with the stamina to create 30 flyers in 30 days for the (soon-to-be) legendary Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis, MN, armed with nothing more than his vivid imagination and well-honed talent. His visceral images of ghouls and demons, busty dames and booze-soaked revelries, George W. Bush and Anthony Bourdain, are instantly recognizable_each emphatic line positively thrums and pulses, every one the embodiment of Witt’s wide-ranging inspirations and passions.
A founding member of the Squad 19 Design Collective and the Back Alley Gallery, Witt comments that “making it work as a professional has involved taking advantage of every opportunity and lucky break_there’s never been a plan, just a lot of drawing.” Rather than just this modest scraping by, however, he strives to make every project his best, often with spectacular results.
Witt’s illustrations, paintings, and limited edition screenprints have been exhibited around the globe and reproduced in books and publications including The Art of Modern Rock, I Want Your Skull, German collective Bongout’s anthologies, and the series of graphic novels he’s illustrated for Lerner Publishing. His work can also be rocked-out to as the visual accompaniment to so many amateur and virtuoso living-room solos played in Guitar Hero II and found plastered across tee shirts extolling rowdy bands and rowdier holidays (Witt is, after all, a founder of International Canned Beer Month, celebrated each August). Finally, when at a loss to find any DWITT in your life, you can always simply look around: his art is most at home in the world when stapled to lamp posts or taped to the bathroom doors of dive bars across this great land. That’s right, the name’s David Witt_D-W-I-T-T, for those of you carving it into your desktops.

Hi, My name is Patrick Callan, I just put out my first full length record-"Tales of a Folk Punk Nothing" on Blanket Statement Records.
It was recorded in the dead of winter 2009 and was released May 8th. I put a lot of heart into it.
Please listen to the songs I have up on my page, if you like what you hear, you can buy the record through snocap( The itunes competitor that screws over artists less).
As my label is small, at the moment all profits from the record go towards funding future projects,tours, etc. like the new record from my friends Turn Back Now! out June 25th.
