The background circle pattern is a rich red to chocolate-red blend printed over a striking light yellow-orange – highlighted by a very heavy gold metallic psychedelic, optical art circle pattern.

Transitioning between background and form – the circle pattern repeats as a subtle white glaze over the rich blue metallic female form.

I’ve brought the circle patterns over the wild hair and into the shadows in the female form as an even more subtle ochre glaze. The ochre glaze was printed last, over the black, and reflects light gloss over semi-gloss black.

Poster will be made available by Widespread Panic at the the Riverside Theater in Wisconsin starting on Friday, November 20, 2009.

Ray Davies Warfield Poster

Ray Davies brought the choir to The Warfield tonight – he also brought his anarchic sense of humor and brought down the house.

Saying this was a good show is an understatement.

–

I noticed that Ray Davies used a William Blake illustration for the cover of his latest album featuring choral arrangements of his favorite songs, so I’m paying homage with this poster, using William Blake art from his worked entitled, “Ancient of Days.” I used a heavy metallic silver and tinted it with translucent layers of color on black paper. This poster shines.

William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English Poet. painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.

Looking forward to tonight’s show! DEVO performed “Are We Not Men?” on Friday, and will perform “Freedom of Choice” tonight at The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco. You can check out the playlist in my poster – all the song titles from “Freedom of Choice are in there.

Just got back from the show. I love it when the floor at The Regency bounces like a trampoline. Crowd went mad for DEVO tonight. Great crowd, won’t suss anyone out – you know who you are – and we had fun! Good conversation, lovely crowd and a great show.
