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 am extremely honored to have both my posters for Courtney Barnett and The War on Drugs to be included in this year’s Communication Arts Illustration Annual. The annual includes so much incredible work by some the world’s top illustrators, many of whom I greatly admire. The issue is out on newsstands now, so make sure to pick up and copy. The Courtney Barnett print is sold out but a handful of The War on Drugs prints are available in my etsy shop.

My posters for The War on Drugs and Courtney Barnett were included in Society of Illustrators 57 exhibition and annual. Needless to say, it’s quite an honor to be included among so many incredibly smart and talented world class illustrators.
The War on Drugs album Lost in the Dream is one of my favorite albums of 2014, so it was exciting to get to work with them on a poster for their show at the Majestic Theatre in Madison this past fall. The poster is an 18 x 24 three color screen print (white, dark blue, medium blue) on 100#C French blacktop. There are some prints available in my etsy shop, including a signed print from lead singer/songwriter Adam Granduciel.
