Kickin’ off Widespread Panic Tour with Boise, ID poster
The boys of Widespread Panic are starting up their Spring Tour this week and will be kickin’ it off in Boise, ID on Friday, March 13th. Being the first poster of a tour is always an interesting task as you want to represent out the gate and deliver something that people will still hopefully remember as a slew of new posters pop up as the tour proceeds.
Originally I was toying with the idea of doing something involving a Bronco or giant horse as Boise has a lot of “Bronco” imagery attached to it but thought the idea had been played out in some past WSP posters and as it started to move along I had no connection to the animal or design. Thinking of the terrain and other Idaho wildlife I loved the imagery and notion of the Elder Shaman Ram that was welcoming the coming of Spring.
The final result is a 5-color print,… 18′ x 24′ with a 200 print run and my copies will be up in the store next week signed / AP.
Erykah Badu’s Birthday Bash at The Fillmore Silver Spring
This weekend is Erykah Badu‘s birthday and she is celebrating it once again at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD. I had the privilege of doing a print for her birthday there a couple years back and was happy to receive the call to do another as my wife & I are big fans.
When researching Badu’s work for the previous poster I noticed she works in a lot of Egyptian imagery & symbolism into her music and presentation. Whether it be symbols of life, references to Pharaohs & Queens or golden scarabs, they are everywhere. I thought the elegant Egyptian black cat made perfect sense it was just a matter of how ancient Egyptian vs. modern I was going to go. I liked the mix of the classic looking cat with a ton of gold bling and the microphone.
A previous concept was to celebrate the coming of Spring with Badu as a Tree of Life but I noticed it had to much of a resemblance to previous posters done by Emek.
The poster is a 5-color print, including GOLD!!!!!… 18′ x 24′ and is now available in the store. There are not a lot of Artist copies so grab em’ quick. They are all signed / AP.
