Here’s my poster for the Edwardian Ball which will be celebrated at the Regency Ballroom on January 22 & 23, 2010.

I went for a retro Edwardian era style (1900-1910) with an influence from Gustav Klimt. Since I’m using a lot of metallic inks, I resonate with Klimt’s use of “bling” in his art.

I’ll be releasing this poster here on my site on Sunday.

Here’s some pictures of the actual print. You can see the paper is textured like watercolor paper.

I designed and printed this psychedelic polliwog poster for Umphrey’s McGee with Cormeal at The Regency Ballroom, San Francisco on Saturday, January 16, 2010. The band dug it so hard they just about croaked.

Stare at this video for the full 1 and a half minutes – and then look at this poster

A li’l zen froggy digging a dayglo Lotus in an iridescent green metallic frog-pond.

I went for maximum Eye-Fry using an ultra powerful florescent red: I hand-mixed the red ink with extra flo’ powder, so the frog just leaps off the poster.

Blue outline for my fluorescent amphibian is mixed just right to knock your eyeballs into the Fourth Dimension. Shades optional.
