Denver Biscuit Company Goes Solo

Denver Biscuit Company's solo act at @ohheystanley @stapletondenver

Go to the light at Denver Biscuit Company.

The Stanley Marketplace is just bringing out the best in everyone. Established restaurants, new restaurants, shops, breweries – it’s all local and all artisan. There’s good old pizza, beer, doughnuts, coffee and ice cream there, all taken up a notch in scratch-made, artisan goodness. Denver Biscuit Companyis no exception. This is the first time the trio…

New Image Wednesday + Dash For The Terraform (The Making of)

I learned my lesson last week. I'm not even going to ask how you're doing...no..no..stop! I don't care this time! Too much business to discuss! ...I do like your new bedazzled Kenny Chesney tattoo, though. 

After 8 solid weeks of work...it's DONE! Atomic Cowboy's fourteen foot mural is up and open to the public! What a journey this has been! This is by far the largest piece I've done, and I'll tell you - after this long - I'm stoked to be done with it. Make sure to head to the new location to view this sucker live at 4275 Tennyson St. Denver, CO 80212. I hope you enjoy it! This week is all about the steps on how I did this from start to finish. 

Wanna see how we got there?! Here's the 5 huge steps!

1. THE CONCEPTUAL SKETCHES

2. WHERE WE WENT

The cowboy portion was shot at Pine Cliff Stables in Golden, CO. What a blast! With the help of the Emily Sierra (link below), we got all the shots we needed in about three hours of maniacally running these horses. The astronauts (singer Brent Cowles - link below) were shot at Great Sand Dunes National Park. All the astronauts are one guy. There are no repeated images at all in this whole thing! And the astronaut on the horse (Poco Post owner Mallory Englestad) was shot in Sedalia, CO with the amazing help from a family friend who lent us her gorgeous German horse, Tito. 

3. WORKING IT

Before anything, we started construction on the Trojan Horse. I wanted to be able to place it however it needed to be placed based on what we got from less-reliable photographs (namely the unpredictable horses). The amazing builder from Baltimore, Joel Blaine did such an incredible job making the 2 foot horse out of broken and stained popsicle sticks. You can also see the progression of the image as we started shooting more and more elements.

4. THE HANGING

With extremely short notice, my new heroes, InkMonstr conquered the printing and hanging of this massive piece! They were awesome to work with, genuinely kind, forgiving, and absolutely professional. I will recommend these guys up and down for years to come. I hope to do a lot more work with them extremely soon.

THE FINAL

HOLY COW! Quite the project, eh?! I LOVED doing it! And...there's a lot more work coming for Atomic Cowboy, so stay tuned!

As always...you rule.

Until I get a new job, I will be working full time, protesting against Atomic Cowboy.

Letting out the word. Exposing the corruption. 

I'll make it possible somehow or another

[1994mycology27]

Atomic Cowboy is corrupt to their employee's (at least to me)

This is nonsense, and just straight up cruel.

I have worked at the DBC inside of Atomic Cowboy for 7 months, having the duty as a Dishwasher. I never missed a day of work and never came in late; also worked my ass off, 8-10 hours a day.

I was fired recently (3 days ago) because I had been arguing with a fry cook who is a complete idiot douchebag with a testosterone problem.

That being said; instead of me being lazy and trying to apply for un-employment, I went out and looked for new jobs. I had 2 interviews, in which they went really well. Things looked bright for me. I called in 2 days later after the interview to follow up in things. The employer told me that he had spoken with my previous boss, and he was told that,

"I have a terrible attitude and am not a team player with other employee’s" he also mentioned how I have an LSD problem. He didn’t even bother to mention how I never missed a day of work, or how I never came in late. I busted my ass working in that stinky filthy kitchen.

1st off, I’ll like to say that there are others working there that could and should have be fired. Not me, I was dedicated and proud of my shit position as a dishwash.

2nd, it’s one thing to fire me as an 18 year old, but it’s another thing to ruin my life and potential by telling other employers who want to hire me, all my faults and negatives, opposed to my positives and excellent performance. It’s like my previous boss Austin wants me to fail and fall in to a manic depression

3rd of all- all you so called “hipsters” and “counter culture people” when you dine, or go out for drinks at Atomic Cowboy, you aren’t supporting an innocent local business; you are supporting a corrupt corporation, just like any other major business in this country.

P.S. when you do go to dine there, please take a look inside of the kitchen and see how filthy and un-professional it looks. The food is excellent though!
