When not choking on a van full of farts, watching a dude drink a beer out of his fake leg, or tying bedsheets together for our escaping drummer, I drew this on tour…

Unfortunately, Every Time I Die’s spring tour is over. I use the word “unfortunately” because I don’t remember ever being on a tour where every band member and crew member of every band was so purely awesome. Like Andy Williams said, “if you put everyone’s name in a hat, then picked a name and you HAD to hang out with that person, you would never be bummed”. The music wasn’t bad either. I can honestly say I watched Four Year Strong every single show, which isn’t something I’ve done since we toured with Superjoint Ritual on Ozzfest ‘04. I feel like every time a tour ends, I blog about how we just played some of the most brutally gnarly shows for some of the most dedicated people, but I genuinely mean it every time. And as for those cool little posters that I make with HERO DESIGN (seen below)… they sold out! And you know what that means… you don’t? OK, I’ll tell you… it means a limited number of bonus prints went on sale online today RIGHT HERE (get how this works yet?). Only 50, hand numbered, screen printed, yada yada.

Tour dates for our May run with Norma Jean and Cancer Bats have been announced, so come watch us blow roofs off of venues before we join Warped Tour and there are no roofs for us to blow off. My goal is to have Jordan Buckley World Wide launched by then as well. So again, it was great to meet so many of you, I love you all, nam myoho renge kyo, peace and love, peace and love.

The Jordan Buckley World Wide webstore is being constructed by my buddy Brandon at B Creative Design as we speak! He also designed my MYSPACE page, so it’s safe to say that I am suffering the effects of being “stoked”. Look for this sucker to launch next month, with a ton of updates in between!

Ladies and gentlemen I know what you want, and part of the reason that I was brought to Earth was to give it to you. It’s actually quite simple; just comfortable clothes that look cool as shit. Not the kind that make you into a walking advertisement either. The kind that prove that with art, the possibilities are literally unlimited. JORDAN BUCKLEY WORLD WIDE is here to provide you with the tools required to spread visual inspiration. Text-less, handmade artwork straight from my brain and onto your clothes, as you can see on the 3 of the 12 designs below. Said brain has been on fire for a while now, so I have been able to put a lot of passion and hard work into this project. Needless to say, I’m ecstatic to see this all coming into fruition. It won’t be much longer now people… so spread the word… JORDAN BUCKLEY WORLD WIDE – COMING THIS SPRING!!!!

Many people have been eagerly awaiting more info as to how the hell to get their grubby mitts on the one of a kind ESP that I drew on last month. Well the wait is over! Kind of. I mean, you no longer have to wait to find out how to win it, but you still need to wait to win it. ANYWAY just go HERE and follow the necessary steps. If I were you, I would want that guitar. Hell, i’m ME and I want that guitar! I haven’t done white on black since Mrs. Bauda made me do it in high school (shinfo) so it was very challenging. I might even classify it as a pain in the ass. None-the-less i’m rather proud of how carried away I got during the creation process, and I hope whoever wins the guitar shreds that mother fucker hard!!!!

Yo check out this rippin guitar I just doodled all over! I took a white marker to a dope ass ESP and made some sort of 4 eyed demon with gnarly horns. I think he might even be smokin a grit. Now ETID is gonna give it away. The problem is that I don’t exactly know where, when or why. So (as i often try to con you into doing) stay tuned!

Check out Every Time I Die’s new video for “After One Quarter Of A Revolution”, shot by Doug Spangenberg at the White Rabbit in San Antonio, TX on our fall ‘09 tour. Hopefully every show on our next tour looks like this, but remember, if you are planning on showing off your stage dive skills (1) get on and get off. In the words of Keith Buckley “no one came here to watch you run around on stage Kanye”. (2) No pushing the band. Can you believe I actually have to tell people this? It’s true. Find your crease. If you have to toss us out of the way, then you obviously didn’t cease the right moment. And (3), stay off the pedal boards. The reason you are stage diving is because of the music, and we can’t exactly PLAY our music if an amateur stage diver hits the “mute”. Follow these rules, and you are guaranteed to have something to brag about after the show. Thanks, and see you on the road!

You are looking at installment #5 in the ETID vs. HERO gig poster collection. And what a fuggin beaut she is! As usual, a rather low amount will be screen printed, hand numbered, and brought out only to sell on tour. It’s a little incentive to all the super sweet kids that come and get sweaty with the band out on the road. I’m even tickled to say that there are quite a few of you across the world that have the whole collection, and are hungry to continue collecting. I may have said it before, but I seriously hope to be doing these posters for the rest of my touring life. I appreciate and acknowledge the passion that so many of you have for art and music, and I encourage you to share it with us as soon as possible. And pick up a poster while you’re at it!

I survived my first tattoo convention, and I did it by drawing on shoes. I really can’t thank Kurt Soto and VANS enough for inviting me over and letting me go to town on some canvas foot ware. We weren’t trying to sell anything, we just wanted to inspire people to get creative, get the word out about the $10,000 prize for whatever high school cranks out the coolest custom shoe, and move people to DIY their life!!! And you know what? We fuckin did it! And while all that was happening, I managed to get my wig blown off by a live CRAYOLA painting sesh, watched some rippin punk bands, and ate about 16 pounds of kettle corn. My contributions can be seen below. Thanks again to everyone that hung out, see you all on tour!

I know what you are thinking… “enough already! stop drawing super sweet shit for no reason!”. Turns out, there IS a reason. And it’s a good one! Who knows, I might even tell you one day!
