New guitar paintings:
New Posters.
24x36 posters are done and printed. I am really happy with how these turned out. They feature 42 of my guitar paintings. I have done close to 65 guitar paintings at this point. They can be purchased through me or through my Etsy shop. Right now the price is $55 plus shipping.
Working on some block printing:
8x10 linocut prints. Telecaster with Bigsby B5
Some others. Empty Can, Bully, City:
Just finished this one. No name yet. Its a monster at 51x61 inches.
Just finished this guitar painting for its builder Scott Baxendale at Baxendale Guitar in Athens. Incredible Luthier if you are in need of a new guitar. Scott has built and maintained guitars for some of the biggest names in the music industry. I'm honored to have my work in his shop.
ONEMAN from Greece posted some nice pics of my guitar series.

I appreciate the kind words on the work even if Google translation is little help.

Selling each of these Drive By Trucker guitar paintings for $700 each. $600 of each sale will go directly to Nuci's Space in Athens, GA. The rest will simply cover shipping. A good opportunity for someone to help a great organization and get another end of the year, last minute tax write off.
They are both acrylic and charcoal on 23x45 stretched canvas. Send an email to info@karlhaglund.com for further details. BOTH ARE gone to a good cause. Thank you to those who donated!

Vintage Vinyl print kick-off was a grand time.
I had a great time at the VV print kick-off. You can walk in and buy prints on the loop now. Jim Utz at VV was behind the show from day one and did a great job promoting the event. Glad to work with people like him and many of the other staff I met. Record stores have such a cool vibe. I came close to buying an LP of Clint Eastwood singing cowboy songs, but just.couldnt.do.it.
Stop in to VV and check out their merch. Tons of music obviously.
Thinking I might buy a marquee for the house.
Free beer..
Working with California band Greater Pacific on album cover
I just finished a painting that will be used on an album cover for a band out of southern California called Greater Pacific. The album titled Incandescent will be released on September 4th through Yer Bird Records out of Calgary. You can see the cover and listen to a song by clicking on their name above or by clicking right here.
I was recently interviewed about my guitar series for a blog from across the pond called "Something You Said" Thanks Neil! Read the interview here.
