I love Grizzly Bear’s new album (really, I’ve been a fan of them for years) so I was excited to work with them on a poster for their show at The Palace in Saint Paul. The poster is a two color screen print on off-white stock (French Whitewash). There are a handful of prints for sale in my Etsy shop.
Kurt Vile and Courtney Barnett are two of my favorite musicians, so I was extremely grateful that they asked me to design two posters for their recent Sea Lice tour. Both posters are two color screen prints on Cougar Natural. The Saint Paul poster is sold out but I have a very limited number of the San Diego poster for sale on Etsy. Check out their album “Lotta Sea Lice”, it’s one of my favorites of the year.
I’ve been a fan of The War on Drugs for years and feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with them again, this time on a gig poster for their show at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. The poster is a four color screen print on purple stock (French Grape Jelly). There are a very limited number for sale in my Etsy shop.
I’m honored to have my gig poster for Beirut to be included in the 2017 Communication Arts Illustration Annual. There is so much amazing work in the annual this year, it’s such an honor to be included. Thanks Commarts!
I’m extremely honored to have my Guided by Voices gig poster included in American Illustration 36 annual. So much great work in the annual, I’m grateful to be included. You can find the poster in my Etsy shop, including a couple signed by Robert Pollard himself.

I’ve been a fan of what Chuck Kerr (Art Director) has been doing over at Variety, so I was ecstatic when he reached out to work together on a story about the uncertainty of 2016 election and how it might affect Hollywood.
