I will be having a big print sale at Fab.com starting this Saturday, February 11th. If you don’t know what Fab is, its a website that does a slew of discounted daily deals including art, furniture, bike racks, whatever. To get on the site you actually have to sign up for it. The sale is only going to last for 3 days.
I will also be debuting 4 new art prints which I will unveil in the next couple days, most of which will be smaller prints because I know some people don’t like dealing w/ the larger sized (18′ x 24′) posters. This will include a new spirit animal. Keeyaahhh!!!
The sale is underway and will end on February 14th
My Norah Jones print made the GoMediaZine’s “Modern Giposters Design: 100 Stunning Examples” list. Check it out as it is in good company. The list was compiled by The Wall: Modern Day Music Posters author Tom Booth.
I recently got asked to particpate in an upcoming artshow in Milford, CT being put on by the Blank Space Gallery. The theme of the show is Bealtes lyrics and the artists were asked to interpret a set of lyrics any way they wanted. Its an interesting idea and anytime you mess w/ the Beatles there are some die-hard fans out there and some really interesting imagery to mess with. Great lineup of artists too.

Hey knuckleheads. After plenty of farting around I have finally decided to jump into the Twitter-verse. I ‘m slowly figuring it out (proper tweeting edicate, what to tweet, who to stop following cause they end up boring or sucking, etc..) and will try to keep it intersting. Feel free to follow me.
Beirut is coming in town for 2 nights and I was able to work with them to create a print for their show at the 930 Club. They are a band I got into early on and actually one of my early posters I worked on was for them back in 2006 at the Great American Hall in San Francisco. I was a big fan of their 1st album that had just come out so I was excited for the show. I think they were all 18 at the time or even younger and the show as a bit brutal. Kinda sloppy and they were all very “young” and experiencing being on stage for the 1st time in front of huge crowds it seemed. Kinda left me bummed. A number of albums and time have passed and they are definitely on top of their game.
I noticed alot of the imagery used for this band (posters, shirts, whatever..) tended to be the same kind of vibe and I wanted to bring something drawing from their New Mexico background and mix in a bit of a trippy Hopi Indian-kachina doll look to it. The colors on the final print came out looking great.
18′ x 24′, …… 4-color print……. 150 print run… and is available in the store now.
The great KRS-One is releasing his 12th album, Just Like That on Jan. 4th 2012 and after months of delay has released a 1st video from the album, “Aztechnical“. The story goes, last year when I was living in Atlanta my friend Corey Ellis got the gig to do the video and what he was given was pretty bare-bones and essentially he had to create the video from scratch.
In typical KRS fashion the song is pretty dense, as it is 6-minutes long and sounds like someone reading a textbook. Not the easiest thing to create or keep interesting to a viewer. The gist of the song is that it is about Cortez taking advantage of the Aztecs and the end of Mayan calendar and possible the end of life as we know it. Pretty light stuff.
He asked if I could create some artwork for the video and I leapt at the chance, since Ive been a fan of KRS-One for a while. I created a bunch of Aztec & Mayan style line drawings to be used in the background and my girlfriend & her sister were employed to be Mayan women. To find the perfect jungle type setting we looked no further than our horrible unkept backyard. Torches were made out of rags covered in vaseline, the girls were painted up, proper lights were setup and Corey filmed. All the KRS-One stuff was green screened.
I said this was “behind-the-scenes” sort of because my inclusion was tiny and the real behind the scenes would be alot of Corey sitting at his computer essentially creating the whole video. In the end, I think it came out looking great.

Once again I have had the pleasure of working with one of my favorite bands, Ween. In this case half of the band to be exact, for a show in their hometown New Hope, PA. Gene Ween will be playing with fellow Ween’r Dave Dreiwitz on bass and there is talk of cello accompaniment. This poster goes out to a special breed of person that knows that “Dragon’s Breath” is a kind of saving throw and has spent too much time reading of the exploits of Raistlin Majere.
This print is 18′ x 24′, …… 5-color print……. and is available in the store now.
So break out your copy of “The Mollusk” and your 20-sided dice and nerd out until then.
