Everyday Mistake: “Art Inspired by Beatles Lyrics” show

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.

Beirut print… 9:30 club, DC

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.
