New poster designed for STAND.

We just finished working on a new poster design for a great band from Ireland (seemed fitting). We really enjoy working with these guys, a very talented bunch 'o lads that we hope make it big one day. This poster supported their show in NYC at the Mercury Lounge as part of the Craic, a music and film festival. http://thecraicfest.com/


The lettering for "STAND" was actually done with spray paint and cheap stencil in our driveway...VERY high tech.

Here's a few different takes on how the stencil was used in different layouts:

One More Chance to Catch The Dude.

M+M Pfahlert Bros. just released the second edition of the "Sometimes There's a Man" Big Lebowski poster print.

This was originally produced for Leia Bell's Signed & Numbered show "This Aggression Will Not Stand, Man" gallery show in Salt Lake City.

Inspired by "The Stranger" voice over and character by Sam Elliot in the film The Big Lebowski.
Printed on French black stock, with silver metallic and white inks (the title line is the only text in white on the print). The silver ink is about six shades darker on this run.

New Stars of the Lid Poster design

What a great band name, right? These guys play some pretty unique music, some describe it as "drone-based ambient music". According to one of the founding members, the band's name refers to "your own personal cinema, located between your eye and eyelid", suggesting the colors and patterns one can see with closed eyes.

We had actually designed a previous SOTL poster last year (see it here), so we wanted to try something different. The style of music they play, along with the imagery of a half-closed eye lid shape (where the band name is) may lead one to wonder..."Is that guy sleeping?...dreaming?...falling?...is he falling in his own dream?

What do you think?

What we do know is that Nick @ The Half & Half printed a beaut, grey ink overlays and all! Thanks Nick!

New Minus The Bear Poster design

We just finished this new poster design/print for the band Minus the Bear. The design includes a large cropped halftone photo of my sister-in-law, used with her very kind permission.

The silver was run as a metallic and looks great in person (thanks Nick at The Half and Half!). Black ink overprints nicely. Paper is a nice thick creamy stock.

Available soon! Check the poster's page at Gigposters.com here.

Wilco poster design "Catching the Copper" details

We just finished a new Wilco poster design to support their two dates in Alaska.

We should have some for sale soon...
You can find it here on Gigposters.com.
