The legend of Doc Ellis’ LSD induced no-hitter while pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates comes to hallucinogenic life courtesy of New York’s dopeness dealing No Mas crew. Intensely drawn and animated by James Blagden, the psychedelic short features a moment by moment account from a non-tripping Doc Ellis himself before passing away last December.
“Sadly, the great Dock Ellis died last December at 63. A year before, radio producers Donnell Alexander and Neille Ilel, had recorded an interview with Ellis in which the former Pirate right hander gave a moment by moment account of June 12, 1970, the day he no-hit the San Diego Padres. Alexander and Ilels original four minute piece appeared March 29, 2008 on NPRs Weekend America. When we stumbled across that piece this past June, Blagden and Isenberg were inspired to create a short animated film around the original audio.”
Yes, you read that right, free money! Courtesy of my bearded graphic designer buddy Keith Scharwath in commemoration of the grand opening of his blog Carwash, Keith will be giving away 100 free Gocco prints on dollar bills with a special message printed on each hand numbered bill. In addition to designing the beautiful poster for Beautiful Losers (which is always up on the left side of this site), Keith has worked on a wide variety of design projects ranging from album covers; logos corporate and non; good work for GOOD; and various Nike projects amongst many others. Please help welcome Keith’s new blog, Carwash, to the interwebs by clicking over for some visual stimulation, inspiration and a“free print (or a free dollar)”while supplies last!
