Swiss Tour 2010 – Geneva Memories

It was so great to be back in Geneva. My old friend, Yvan Le Hyaric made this really cool set-up for our show at his exhibition space called La Station Orbitale – the lighting was amazing! All our friends were there. Moe Seiber showed and I was finally able to give her a poster gift in a big thank you for putting us up at her house. Helene and Franz Treichler of The Young Gods came and rocked out with us. I was so happy to see everyone come out and check out the newest stuff.

Yvan and his wife Marielos Zuniga cooked us an amazing pumpkin soup in the afternoon for everyone at the opening. Took this picture of the ingredients – mmmm!

La Plebe at Slim’s SF, November 5, 2010

One of my favorite San Francisco bands, La Plebe, is releasing a CD produced by one of my favorite San Francisco musicians, Billy Gould (bassist of Faith No More). La Plebe asked me to make a poster for the event. So here’s my poster for La Plebe’s CD release party, some rock’n’roll love and revolution propaganda for San Francisco’s superb, subversive musical outfit. Look for their CD on Kool Arrow Records.

Of Montreal at The Warfield Poster

I was monkeying around with this image, and I may be no genius, but I do share 98% of my genome with our friends depicted here. Seemed like a good image for such a fun and extremely experimental and psychedelic band like Of Montreal. Certainly a poster for those of you with evolved tastes.

Bad Dads, “Margot” The Royal Tenenbaums Poster

My poster is an homage – not only to the films of Wes Anderson – but an homage also to Alphonse Mucha and his “Medea” poster. I’ve run with the idea that Margot Tenenbaum is a playwright and here she has cast herself in the role of Medea, the tragic protagonist from Euripide’s play, as portrayed in Mucha’s poster.

It’s twelve colors, six colors on each of the two pieces. It is printed as a diptych – top and bottom – much like Alphonse Mucha printed his two piece posters in the early 1900’s. Both pieces of “Margot” fit together to create a 22″ x 62″ diptych.

Each piece will be approx 22 x 31 – there’s printed overlap on the bottom part and a full bleed cut on the top part – so they fit together.

Mumford & Sons at The Warfield, Wednesday, October 20, 2010

Mumford & Sons brings their unique blend of folk and deep heartfelt romanticism to The Warfield in San Francisco, with Mt. Desolation and King Charles opening. These world travelers have a really spectacular video of their journey through India and beyond on their website – give it a look – gives you a great idea of where they are coming from and the kind of robust spirit they bring to the stage.
