Widespread Panic Milwaukee 2013 print… the RETURN!!!

This past weekend was the big 3-day Widespread Panic show in Milwaukee and I had the privilege of being asked to do a print for it. The last time I did a Panic Milwaukee print was waaaaay back in 2008,… back when Sarah Palin made the scene, Britney Spears had a shaved head and Breaking Bad was just a rookie.

Like last time, the show fell on the local Oktoberfest in the most beer-friendly city in America so it was only natural to go for the old beer label look when designing the print. I looked at a bunch of old classic beer ads and packaging from the 1920’s & 30’s,.. and of course had to include the Badger reference. It isn’t as trippy or cosmic as I would usually do but for this stop it made sense…. something taste good, feel good.

Early Concepts

THe print is a 5-color print, 18’x 24′ with a print run of 620. All copies were pretty much SOLD OUT each night of the show and I will be selling a limited run of AP’s (Artist Prints).

Crafty Bastard 2013… this weekend, DC!!!!!

Crafty Bastard is back again this weekend and now it will be a 2-day affair. The premiere Washington DC craft fair put on by the Washington City Paper for some reason is always very kind to me every year and to other friends that come from well outta’ town for it.

I will be making the trek back to DC… my triumphant return, after having moved from there 3 weeks ago, and will be bringing with me some new prints including the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I should have most prints/shirts but do let me know if you have any requests for specific prints….

The event is Saturday, Sept. 28 and Sunday Sept. 29 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. outdoors on the Union Market parking lot. Day passes can be purchased advance for $5.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Brooklyn print this week!!!!

It has been a couple years since I last worked with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs but I pleased to get the call to work on a print for their big show this week at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn. They just released their latest album Mosquito and wanted to continue to riff on the insect theme for the visuals for this print. I tested a couple different concepts of mosquitos attacking New York but kept going back to the mosquito atop the Empire State Building as a strong image, literally feeding on the life blood of the city.

Early Concepts

Prints are currently available below. I did print a few “B&W” copies for those ordering w/ kids. These are for those interested in participating in the Coloring Nook. Please read over the rules of the Nook before requesting a B&W copy. Basically these are for the little folk and only take one if you will be coloring and photographing it. Not for flippers.

It is 5-color print, 18’x 24′. The total print run available at the shows was 200, and I only have a limited AP (Artist Print) run available of 60.
