Charlie Wagers — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 01:08:54 +0000

Ben Sharp just sent me this link from Sixand5 Online Inspiration Magazine. They put together a list of the 50 best album covers of 2011 on Bandcamp, and nominated the cover I designed for Cloudkicker’s Let Yourself Be Huge as #12! Very cool! It’s an honor to see my work presented alongside the covers for Tycho (by Scott Hansen/ISO50), The Dead Pirates (by McBess), & Absofacto (by Silent Giants).

The kind people at KidRobot, the creators of the Munny figures, were kind enough to do another feature this year of Paper or Plastic, A New Lowbrow Toy Show. It’s always good to see my design-work up on their Kronikle Blog. See also: Kronikle’s feature of last years show.

One of the best honors from Lomography is to be named a LomoAmigo. AlexandraK sent me a whole bunch of Provia film a few months ago, to use for this feature of photos I’ve taken with my Diana F+. Go check out the interview, here. So honored, thanks again to everyone at Lomography.

The Impossible Project is starting a new interview series on their website called 8 Exposures with… and they asked me to be their inaugural interviewee! I first got connected with Impossible for the Welcome Back Cleveland show, when they were kind enough to sponsor the event, and send us some free film. Huge thanks to Patrick for asking me some tough questions. Go read the interview.

Lomography 5 Questions Interview

Charlie Wagers — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:00:46 +0000

I’ve been in contact with the kind people at Lomography about some articles on Diana photographs. With their new 5 Questions on Analogue Photography interview series, they wanted to also utilize some photos I have taken with my Holga. So I was glad to answer some questions about why I love analogue photography. Go check out the interview, here, and be on the look out for some more articles in the near future. Huge thanks to Alexandra Klasinski for generously accommodating me. (also thanks to Katie for snapping this new press-photo for the interview.)

The fine folks at French Paper featured my Frightened Rabbit poster in their sample room a few days ago (it seemed to slip under my radar until today). See the feature, here. The posters are printed on French’s Duro-O-Tone Steel Grey, and a very few are still available for purchase, here.

If you pick up the current issue of Buzzbin Magazine, there’s a few fun things in this months issue. Our friend Aaron Fowler was kind enough to interview Adambear and I for a Designer Spotlight in the Art section, on page 16. The article is also available online, here.

Also check out my friends Low in the Sky on the cover story (page 26), talking about their new record, which I had the pleasure of helping with. And Trouble Books & Mark McGuire received a kind article on page 44, I proudly lent my helping hands with that project as well.

In the current issue of CMYK Magazine, #50, you can see the tour-poster I designed for Katie Herzig on page 18. As part of the contest ‘Posters Only,’ judged by by Moxie Sozo‘s Leif Steiner, and CMYK’s first-ever poster competition. This was the only contest I submitted to this year, and I’ll definitely be pursuing more of these in the near future.
