It’s Edwardian Ball time again, and as always, it’s a great pleasure to work with Justin Katz, the Edwardian Ball impresario, and once again I had a lot of fun making this poster!

My Edwardian Ball posters always have an edge of social critique in them. They are done with a wink and a nod, in keeping with the enjoyment of attending such an elaborate period pageant.

Most of the attendees also realize that the Edwardian era was one of unabashed and ostentatious oligarchy, unrivaled economic imperialism and a presumed European superiority complex. It’s all of these things that makes the period so bizarre to us today. I’ve always endeavored to reveal this outrageous and bizarre sense of imperial entitlement in my Edwardian Ball posters, and keep them wild and fun.

This year I’ve depicted Russian mega-oligarchs, Tsar & Tsarina, Nicholas and Alexandra. 100 years ago, they had one good year left before the Communists swept them away. We find them, lounging in state dinner attire, a pair of rare white tigers settled at their feet. The background is Rosslyn Chapel. The Russian says, “Tsar, have a nice trip! See ya next Fall!”

UM-NYE-FOIL

My poster is inspired by the Norse God Thor, who lords over the earth from high Valhalla, above the Rainbow Bridge at the end of days, Ragnarok.
–
New Years Eve is a symbolic renewal, a rebirth of creative energy, and a transformation of old patterns into new. With the end comes a new beginning!
–
I have always been inspired by the mystical and underground comix style of the master poster maker, Rick Griffin. This poster is a tip of my Viking helmet to the king.

I will be making a very limited release of my Artist Edition and Mirror Foil Edition on Thursday (appropriately enough: Thor’s Day), January 7, 2016 at a random time.

Every year, Jason Brown of The Goodfoot and The Peoples’ Art of Portland gathers the best of the best in the Rock Poster medium to make a massive art show. I love this show; walking into The Goodfoot, one is offered the one of the greatest visual feasts in the Rock Poster world. Hundreds of the best rock posters of the last year, created by the best of the best, framed and arranged, artist by artist, in the perfect setting. Nothing encapsulates Portland, or Rock’n’Roll for that matter, more than this show! It’s the a great way to dig some art, drink a beer with friends, and perhaps bring home a super-cool momento from your favorite band or artist.
