I made this poster for Josh Ritter‘s show next week at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe in New York. For those unfamiliar, the venue is a small bookstore in Manhattan, run by a non-profit whose mission is to end the dual crises of homelessness and AIDS. The posters are screen-printed, 12.5″ x 19″ on French Natural Speckletone paper, and the imagery is inspired by Matt‘s artwork for Josh’s new EP Bringing in the Darlings. As always, thanks to my pal Brian Stowell for hooking this up.
Here is the new, official trailer for the film Blood Brother. Filmed by several of my friends from Pittsburgh, in India. All of the work I’ve been doing for this project has been volunteer work, and I’m glad to be a part of it. That’s my logo on the title screen.

This new shirt I designed is based on one of the new songs, called February 1878. The song is about a circus train that crashes in the mountains, and I chose to illustrate the elephant’s escape. You can grab this shirt at one of their upcoming tour dates.
My old friends in The Fray are about to release their new album, Scars & Stories, next week. With the new album coming out, they’ll be embarking on plenty of tour dates in 2012, and I was asked to submit some designs for shirts to be sold on the upcoming tours. Here are the two that got picked up! I’ve got a serious knack for using the moon, and woodgrain texture.
I spent a few hours today screen-printing the jackets for the long-overdue vinyl treatment of Rustic Bullshit by Talons’. Also known for his work with Six Parts Seven and Trouble Books, Mike has been making music under the name Talons’ for quite some time. This record was originally released as a CD-R in 2006, and is now getting the vinyl treatment. First-pressing is limited to 100 copies, in chipboard jackets, that I screen-printed (three colors). It’s also being mastered for the first time, and will spin at 45rpm, for the audiophiles. Look for it soon, from Bark & Hiss. Listen to the CD-R (unmastered) version of the album below.
While there, Andy & Josh were printing the Cloudkicker that Adam & Keith designed – five colors!
