NEXT ARTIST SHOWING @22arts: HENSE
The next artist that will be showcased at 22arts is HENSE. Here’s a quick update for the show.
CHARACTER TRIBUTE – SLOTH
He didn’t ask for much. Just a Baby Ruth and a friend. Here’s to Sloth – a character who wasn’t blessed with dreamy eyes, decent teeth or a grasp of the English language, but more than made up for it with a heart the size of One-Eyed Willy’s treasure. Love, BergerHill

True champion wing eaters have their own way of putting down 10, 20, 30+ wings. They’re called wing grips. Here’s a series of fun in-store posters we recently presented to Buffalo Wild Wings.
THE ADVENTURES OF OLLIE RIPS
Who is Ollie Rips? We’re glad you asked! Ollie is a high-flying, curb-shredding skateboard from the town of Big Hill. The only thing bigger than his tricks are his dreams of becoming a pro skater. (Ollie Rips is a copyright of Berger/Hill Studios, LLC. Character design by Rick Hill)
MAN, THIS TAKES ME BACK!
Hell Yeah! Man, I miss my mom dropping me off at the mall on a Friday night. From selling used jeans out of a backpack to all the free food from friends working in the food court. Watch out, skater fags coming through. ha. Good times!
