The second: Was done For Viva La Villians in Seattle, Wa at Julia's on Broadway. There's 2 pics here...First the poster....

King Khan and BBQ 11/1/2009-Kung Fu Necktie-Phila

This beaut displays everyone's favorite funk condiments King Khan& BBQ for their November.1,2009 show at Kung Fu Necktie in Philadelphia, PA.

This 15x8 mini-esq poster is a 1 color(deep red) print on oatmeal french paper.
40 in the edition because the show got moved to a smaller venue and we had to adjust accordingly. Printed by abnrml.

There are a few of these left and are going for $15 plus S/H

Behold! Branding!

Ok so admittedly I've been slacking on posting on the blogosphere but thats what happens when fighting mutant lobsters! so HA!

Anywho...This here is a T-Watt amplifier. I was approached months ago by Jack Kay about designing a logo. Well here we have the precisely crafted final product.

There are also badass T-shirts for sale on the website so be sure to visit and snag one

Go to this show and you'll feel like you swam in warm gravy!

Cage Poster Process! NO COMPUTER NEEDED!

So I’ve been a fan of Cage(Chris
Palko) since the days before Movies for the Blind. I rem. Going to
see Cage, MHZ, High& Mighty, RJD2 and Sage Francis at Club
Krome(defunct) in South Amboy, NJ. Never did I think I’d be doing a
piece of artwork for him 7yrs later…

The conceptualization of this was tricky. Cage’s new album “Depart from me”
seems to be about his transformation away from the rough, gritty, griminess
we knew from Movies for the Blind. Cage has been quoted as saying it was "an
exorcism of sorts". Without anything other than single “I
never knew you” I knew I had to rely on not what I’d only heard
before but almost anticipate the direction the art was headed. I also
knew that I didn’t want to draw a direct comparison with the
previous work of Alex Pardee on Cage’s album.

After discussing the concept with
Jon(Abnrml T’s), we decided it’d probably be best to have the
illustration drawn straight on to the vellum they use to make the
screens. This was an apprehensive task but one I knew could pay off.

I was at Flatstock 20 in March and talked to Dave Witt about how he
approaches a poster for print, NO COMPUTER NEEDED. Yeah that’s
right this is the FIRST screen print I’ve done w/o ANY aid of a computer.
Both myself and Jon(printer-Abnrml T’s) were interested to see how things
would turn out.

Welp you decide...Here's some pictures of the process...

-This is a picture of the 4 different pieces of Vellum drawn on to create this 4-color poster

Next step is to drive to W.Reading and drop the Vellums off to Jon

He then takes them to Wilmington(where the magic happens as follows)


















======================

Next Lets go to the show!


The band really really appreciated the poster
