Here’s a preview for my poster for the ever cool Jerry Joseph on January 28 at the Mercury Lounge in Goleta, California.

Jerry plays solo, with his rock band the Jackmormons, and with The Stockholm Syndrome. He’s played around with Vic Chesnutt, Pete Droge and Dave Schools of Widespread Panic. On this solo tour he’ll be playing songs from his recently released album, “Into The Lovely.”

“Into The Lovely” features a who’s who of Portland musicians including Jennee Connlee (The Decemberists) on keyboards, Willy Vlautin (Richmond Fontaine) on vocals, Steve Drizos on percussion, Mike Lewis, Pat Kearns and Joseph’s co-hort from his Little Women days, Steve James, on guitar.

Edwardian Ball at The Regency

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’m really happy to report that my Umphrey’s McGee poster won Expresso Beans Poster of the Week.

Great way to start 2010. Thanks to everyone for your support!

Congratulations to Aaron Horkey and Emek for winning 2009 Poster of the Year for their combined effort. I’ve come a long way in one year. I feel that the number two spot for my Widespread Panic poster reflects a positive change. I’ll keep kicking out the cool posters you just have to have for 2010.

Umphrey’s McGee with Cornmeal at The Regency

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.
