Proud to present our debut print with Minneapolis artist Dylan Strait! Our friend Witt Siasoco recently put us up on Dylan's super wild and gnarly illustration work and we had zero hesitations in wanting to work with him. Take a look and don't miss your chance to add this super limited print to your collection!

Dylan Strait and his gnarly ass illustrations popped into our life via our buddy Witt Siasoco. He brought Dylan by and said "This guy rips, his illustrations are nuts, you should f**k with him" ... or something like that. So we took a look at his work and immediately agreed - we needed to make some....

From our humble beginnings writing and designing Life Sucks Die magazine inside the ol’ Spice Factory building while learning how to screen print on Wes’ homemade setup in his apartment basement to flexing and growing during our time at Stinson & Broadway to weathering the storm in Saint Paul Midway, the past 20+ years have been nothing short of a wild ride.

After an entire career renting spaces out of other people’s property, we are finally taking things to the next level with our very own building that 100% belongs to us.

Friends, family, and faithful followers, we are thrilled to welcome all of you to SOUTHSIDE PRESERVATION SOCIETY!

We bought a 5500 square foot warehouse building in South Minneapolis which will soon house our design and print operation. Plus, we’re bringing back the spirit of CO Exhibitions with an art gallery / event space with plenty of events in the works to celebrate and foster the creative energy of the Twin Cities.

Southside Preservation Society will be our home to grow, create, and share. It will be a home for design, screen printing, music, learning, performance, large outdoor murals, and more. So when we say this building belongs to us, it also belongs to all of you. It’s been a long time coming and we can’t wait to open the doors to invite you in!

”OK, so when can we come see it?”

Funny you should ask. Here are the first two official events and we'd love to see you there!
