In the dense wood, the squirrels are eternal hustlers. Always searching, always looking, always on the run. They have no allegiances, no long-term alliances or treaties with any other animals of the forest. They are beholden to no one but themselves, their own families and communities. From high above the floor of the forest, they watch and plan and plot…above the heads of all the other animals. From treetops, they decide…you dig it? And then they TAKE.
I thought they fit this print and the aesthetic of RTJ perfectly. I love this band and have been friendly with certain individuals in their ‘family’ for several years. It rules to finally do something ‘official’ with them. Hands down (in my opinion) one of the most important, most kick-ass bands on the scene…and really nice guys.

The fist and the pistol, the hand sign off the first record, redrawn as rabbits.
“After” is the old gallery word for a work made in open conversation with another. It is a lineage, not a shortcut.
