I’ve been a fan of GBV for a long time, so I jumped at the chance when they asked me to design a gig poster for their show at First Ave. They put on a great performance, it was one of the best shows I saw this year. There are a few prints for sale in my shop, including a few signed by the legendary Robert Pollard. 18 x24 four color screen print (navy blue, white, black, metallic silver) on gray/blue stock
I designed a poster for Beirut’s show at the Osheaga Music Festival. The design was inspired by their latest album “No No No”. Prints available for purchase in my etsy shop. 18 x 24 five color screen print on light blue stock.
I’m thrilled and honored to have four of my posters included in this year’s 3×3 Illustration Annual. Prints of these are available in my etsy shop.
The CA Illustration annual is one of the best illustration annuals around and I am extremely honored and grateful to have my work included among so many illustrators whom I admire and consider to be the best in the industry. Special thanks to CA, the judges and of course, Kurt Vile.
The Twin Cities design community has some of the best designers and design firms in the country, so it’s always an honor to be recognized by The AIGA Minnesota Design Show. This year Zeus Jones’ Kix boxes were included in the show.
I was honored to have my Jose Gonzalez and Tame Impala posters included in the 2016 HOW International Design Annual. Special thanks to HOW and the judges, as well as Jose Gonzalez and Tame Impala.
I was really excited to work with Jose again on a poster for his show at the Pantages Theater in Minneapolis. This design was inspired by Jose’s song, “Leaf Off/The Cave”. I have a few available, including some signed by Jose, in my etsy shop. 18×24 four color screen print on off-white stock.
I was fortunate to work with Courtney Barnett on another poster, this time for her short tour of the US and Canada. The design was inspired by her latest album, “Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit. 18 x 24 five color screen print on light green stock.
Another year has come and gone which means it’s time again for my annual music list. These are the albums I enjoyed most in 2015.
