Mister Reusch showed 4 designs in the big NFS "TextStyles" T-shirt art show
at the Washington Street Art Center in June, 2003. Opening night was packed, with guests viewing 215 shirts by over 80 artists adorning the walls. The star of the show was a 10-week old pug named Winston, arriving from Reuschy's hometown to gnaw happily on all present with his mouthful of lethal pin-teeth. Click on the show poster to the left to view the carnage. To see each and every shirt design displayed and other pictures from the opening, view the extensive photo archives on the websites www.nfsindustries.com and www.magmothedestroyer.org.

The Zeitgeist Gallery in Cambridge, MA, presented "TriPolar", the work of
Kevin Banks, Scott Getchell, and Mister Reusch in early December 2002. The TriPolar show was based on the following (fictitious) premise: "Doctor Rudolph Schmidt, the Boston psychologist of the rich and famous, presents the work of three of his better-known patients: Kevin Banks, Scott Getchell, and Mister Reusch. These Boston illustrators have courageously struggled to overcome personal demons and juvenile obsessions for years, and with the costly help of the renowned Doctor Schmidt, they now present the culmination of his long, therapeutic efforts---a three-man art show that boldly drags out into the harsh and unflinching light of day, honest and cathartic fine art exposing the weird interests, deviant pastimes, and bizarre fixations that have made Banks, Getchell, and Reusch the shambling and confused hollow husks of men you've all known up to this vital turning point." In any case, there were plenty of paintings featuring dogs, monsters, and pin-up girls with candy from Mister Reusch. The show was a big success and TriPolar 2 has already been scheduled for September 2003! Check back here for updates.

Mister Reusch had 20 concert posters in the "Artifacts of the Improbable"
