This is an update of the very first poster I produced. The original was printed by Bearded Lady down in Austin, TX and inspired me to learn the process and set up my own screen printing studio. My illustration style and technique has changed quite a bit in the last 5 years and It is quite a milestone for me to update/re-release this print.
[..]When I sent CAKE’s manager the artwork for the Portland poster, I attached a couple color variations. They dug it enough that they wanted to use both for these two consecutive shows. They also took the art and made T-Shirts & Beach Towels with them! Grab a poster from this two-night concert in Davis, CA ///HERE///.
[..]I had the honor of creating a gig poster for the Arctic Monkeys show for their Indianapolis appearance. After getting band & management sign-off on the art, I felt that the illustration was screaming to have an all-cold version so I did half the run in all blue & white. Really pleased with the result. I sold these outside the venue in the lobby. There were only 4 left of the blue ones. You can head over ///HERE/// and try to nab one before they’re all gone.
[..]Latest gig poster project with the amazing band, CAKE. Was a pleasure to finally speak with John McCrea.
After much gushing over how happy I am to get to work with them and how much I like their music, he briefly responded with:
“pleasure to meet you, too. glad you don’t hate our music. great working with you, too — i really enjoy your work!!”
[..]I’m honored to have a couple great local guys from WFYI come and capture a little about me and my experiences printing the latest CAKE gig posters.
