New Print! The St. Louis SLINGER
I got asked to participate in the St. Louis AIGA chapter's 20th anniversary art show that is going on this Thursday. The idea of the show was to have 20 local artists design and make 20 of something, and I made this delicious screenprint featuring the famous St. Louis Slinger.
I had been wanting to continue my gross food series for a while, as well as my St. Louis icon series, so this idea pretty much came up with itself. I like the 'designer-ly' aspect of the Slinger's construction, and any good excuse to draw an exploded-style diagram. Plus I love to eat a Slinger. Here was my sketch:
They're big -- 20" x 28" -- 3-color prints (brown, white, yellow) on heavy burnt-orange Fabriano paper. The original edition of 20 will be given out Thursday at the free and open-to-the-public show, and could be yours! Maybe I'll see you there?! We'll hit Tiffany's or the Courtesy afterwards. 
(I'll probably have more prints for sale later. Perfect for any greasy spoon or classy kitchen.)

my stomach has font memories (nightmares?) of the slinger. on a separate food note, you'll be pleased to hear that i saw someone rocking your grilled cheese t-shirt at the new yankee stadium. he looked melty.
Sweet!
One possible change to consider: In my experience with Slingers, the guy's heart should be exploding into a million pieces.
I know which print I'm taking first on thursday. Wow.
You have shamed me.
That's some great drawing and design.
That´s a great graphic Dan.
Best.
Thanks dudes! I'm hungry.
Beautiful, Dan! I am also slightly nauseated.
I can't even look at that thing without wanting to call my cardiologist. Gotta get me one...
An exploded view of breakfast is awesome. An understated use of the necessary arch is smart.
BUT:
Three colors. Three colors! Gorgeous execution.
Wandered over here from Graphic Tales...
Fantastic! I haven't had a slinger in years. I'd always eat them at 1 am and still be stuffed the next morning.
amazing! I love the notes on the sketch too.. "beans or no beans?"
hope to see this one for sale, love it
Look everyone,the best way is to cut them up in pieces, and freeze it. There are a couple of ways you can cut this kind of food, as the similar way to order Generic Viagra by Internet. The exterior is extremely tough, so be careful when you cut it
I want to buy this framed. How?
