Let’s be honest… most realtor bus bench ads kinda suck. When my friend Sarah asked me to design one for her, I knew I had to have some fun with it. Being highly fashionable and art-loving, of course she was on board for fun, so I went with a colorful illustration and custom lettering. Scroll to see some of the process and two of the benches located in Minneapolis.
I’ve known Sarah for years and aside from being super supportive and enthusiastic about our various events and projects, she’s helped my family with a number of real estate projects. Definitely drop her a line if you’re looking to move in to or out of a house in the Twin Cities area.
Find these benches at 37th & Bryant near Lake Harriet, Minnehaha & 38th, Cedar & 40th, and Snelling & 46th all in Southsiiiide!

During the peak of I.C.E’s presence in the Twin Cities, we printed and distributed over 20,000 I.C.E. OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS posters, based on our city’s classic Snow Emergency sign. We handed these out for free by going to protests ourselves, dropping them at local businesses and having a volunteer network delivering them to every corner of the metro.
We had tons of out-of-town folks asking how they could get one shipped to them but we didn’t have the bandwidth to deal with all the potential mail order while getting the prints into our community. Now that things have cooled off a bit (though let’s be real, ICE is still here in MN and every other state in this country) we’re in the position to send these little nuggets of protest history out past the Twin Cities to those that would like them.
And remember - It’s still Fuck ICE and we still demand justice for Renee Good, Alex Pretti and all stolen lives.
We printed one special run, signed and numbered by the artists @wzzwnshp and @mike2600 , available on 100# cover white paper. There are also a few very rær, shimmery and extra rainbowy prints on foil paper.

A portion of proceeds from the sale of these prints will be donated to @centralneighborhoodmpls (Central Area Neighborhood Development Organization). CANDO is a nonprofit located in and working for the community of South Minneapolis. They’ve been highly involved in responding to the ICE surge and the fallout, helping both individuals and local small businesses.
Dylan Strait @dylcharge1 and his gnarly ass illustrations popped into our life via our buddy Witt Siasoco @manila_rice . He brought Dylan by and said “This guy rips, his illustrations are nuts, you should fuck with him” ... or something like that. So we took a look at his work and immediately agreed - we needed to make some prints with Dylan!
A Twin Cities local, he’s been providing illustrations for bands (including his own - Total Poison, Ski Mask, Anal Ass and more) and skate jams around town. Like some good thrash metal riffing, Dylan piles on the skulls, guts, and horrifying detail in his pen and ink illustrations.
This first print, appropriately titled Deranged Insanity, was a fun experiment where we ran some straight black on white prints then dug into some colored stock and cooked up some extra bright two-color versions as well.
