Aziz Ansari Dangerously Delicious Tour Screen Prints by Invisible Creature

Last Saturday night The Blot hit up Houston’s House of Blues to see Aziz Ansari, one of my favorite comedians, perform. His stand-up routine is hilarious, and if you haven’t heard his comedy album Intimate Moments For A Sensual Evening go buy it now! I had been looking forward to this show for months, and Aziz definitely didn’t disappoint. But what really surprised me about the show was to learn Aziz was releasing a different screen print for each stop on his Dangerously Delicious Tour.

“Stick ‘Em Up” Aziz Ansari Dangerously Delicious Tour - 10.16.10 - House of Blues, Houston

While lots of bands have a different gig poster for each tour stop, I’ve never heard of a comedian doing something like this. They might have one screenprint for the whole tour, but to commission a different poster for each show shows Aziz’ love of rock poster art. Best of all, the Houston poster was made by the very talented artists at Invisible Creature. Invisible Creature was commissioned to create 4 posters for Aziz' tour stops in New York, DC, Houston and Austin, and they all turned out pretty great. Best of all, all posters purchased at the show came signed by Aziz (see photo above)!

“Walking With Dinosaurs” Aziz Ansari Dangerously Delicious Tour - 9.16.10 - Town Hall, New York City

“Burger & Fries” Aziz Ansari Dangerously Delicious Tour - 9.17.10 - Warner Theatre, Washington, DC

All four Aziz Ansari Dangerously Delicious Tour screen prints by Invisible Creature are currently available for purchase from the Invisible Creature online store for $20 each.  And keep your eyes peeled for more amazing releases from Invisible Creature, including their very first vinyl figure from Super7! It’ll be produced as part of Super7’s Monster Family toy line.

Barneyism of the Week - New Is Always Better

Ted, I know you love crappy old stuff no one cares about,
but I’m gonna give you four words to live by:
New. Is. Always. Better.

“New is always better?” - Ted

You know who‘s a million times hotter than the hottest girl I’ve ever slept with?
Her ok looking friend I haven’t seen naked.
Why?
Because, new is always better.

“And this theory applies to everything?” - Ted

Everything.

“So, those new Star Wars movies, those are better than the old ones?” - Ted

Yeah, the first three barely mentioned the intricacies of intergalactic trade law.

“Then when you’re at a Guns N’ Roses concert you’re like,
'Yeah, yeah, Paradise City whatever, when are they going to rock me some Chinese Democracy?'" - Ted

Axl’s really matured as a song writer Ted.
