Widespread Panic Milwaukee collab triptych

This is the third time I have done a Milwaukee tour print for the band, Widespread Panic and it becoming one of their big shows every year, we discussed doing something a little different this time around. Fellow poster artist Jim Mazza is a badass illustrator and I’ve always liked his work for years. We had been talking about doing a collaboration on a piece for a while and this event seemed the perfect opportunity. As the show was a 3-day event a triptych of posters seemed to be the perfect approach.

Collabs are fun but can tricky. I have done some in the past with Marq Spusta and Alan Forbes, and the hard part is always figuring out who does what and how to share the artwork with each other. Luckily a 3 poster deal made things a little easier with me taking over the art/coloring of the 1st print,… Jim the 3rd… and us jamming on the middle.

With Milwaukee being Brew City we loved the idea of a crazy Alice in Wonderland-themed Roktoberfest with bottle cap mushrooms and flying beer bottles. It truly was a collab with each of us taking elements of each others posters into our own and countlessly sending ideas/sketches back and forth.

The band received a print run of 200 of each poster as well as 200 uncut sheets. Each print is 12′ x 24′, the uncut measuring 36′ x 24′ and was printed by the fine folks at Good Thoughts in Boulder, CO.

Jim and I have an Artist Edition of 40 sets (20 uncuts) that we split and will be selling at the same time on our individual websites, Oct. 23rd.

Along with the regular edition we will have a small variant run of cut sets/uncuts on different foil papers available,.. including:
– Rainbow Foil (Cut sets – 28/ Uncuts – 20)
– Sparkle Foil (Cut sets – 8/ Uncuts – 8)
– Oil Slick Foil (Cut sets – 18/ Uncuts – 18)
– Lava Foil (Cut sets – 23/ Uncuts – 20)

Once again we split the run and will be selling our copies on our individual websites the day/time the posters are released.

Epic day of 8 hours of signing,…. over 1600 signatures!!!!

CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!

Twiddle Fall Tour 2017 poster…

The past couple years I had started to see posters for a band in the jam scene called Twiddle but had never really been exposed to their music. They recently reached out to me to do a print for the first leg of their Fall Tour which comprised of 7 tour stops. It’s always interesting and fun to work a new band for the 1st time and try to figure out their style and how to translate it visually.

Obviously Fall was a big influence in the concept and I had been toying with the idea of some kind of patchwork, tripped out scarecrow so the timing was perfect. The band had just started using the image of a “pumpkin amp” to start promoting so I figured it would be a good idea to work it in with a whole colorful patch of them.

This poster had a print run size of 200 that the band took on tour and I will have a small Artist Edition (signed/numbered) run of 40 available on Oct. 2nd.

Along with the regular edition,.. there will be a super small Artist Edition run of 8 foil variants available as well. Cheers!!!!

The Growlers San Francisco & Brooklyn diptych prints…

Surfy-rock band, The Growlers are back on Tour again and ripped up the West Coast this past weekend. I was tasked to do a print for their 4-day run at The Independent in San Francisco as well as design for their Brooklyn run later in the month.

I liked the idea of continuing w/ the classic monsters motif I started with my last Growlers poster (SF earlier this year) and came up w/ a concept involving the Bride of Frankenstein & the Wolfman. When talking about designs for the 2 different shows we thought even though they are weeks apart it could be perfect for a diptych set.

Each poster is a 5-color screenprints (18′ x 24′) with a print run of 100 that will be available at the show. I will have available a small run of 35 Artist Prints (signed/Numbered) up in the store after the shows.

San Francisco – Sept. 8-11
