The First 6 Months

When I first started making these illustrations for Jonathan Toubin's Elsewhere shows it was originally discussed as being a 6 month residency. Well, 6 months are here and the train is gonna keep on rolling monthly right where it's been for the first half of the year. In honor of continuing these monthly parties here are the first 6 posters I've created for the Soul Clap & Dance-Off at Elsewhere.

Gimme! Coffee Cold Brew Growler

New illustration for the Gimme! Coffee summer cold brew growler. I've been casually chasing this dream of illustrating beer and wine logos so this one felt like a step in the right direction. It probably comes as no surprise I love making illustrations about Coney Island, considering my recent work for the band PMS & The Mood Swings so, here we are! 

This one was a bit trickier of a process since the illustration would be printed with white ink on amber glass. I've never done something like this so there was definitely a learning curve but definitely happy with how it came out. I actually love how creepy the ice cream cone and hot dog look with black eyes and black teeth. The growlers are available in store and online now. Hit the link to purchase! Process and glamour shots below!

June edition of the Soul Clap & Dance-Off!

Well, well, well. Here we have the 6th illustration in the series of the Soul Clap & Dance-Off residency at Elsewhere and that about wraps it up......PSYCH! Things have gone so well that Jonathan Toubin & Co. are going to be throwing this party monthly, indefinitely. Get ready for plenty more posters and hopefully I can keep it fresh and interesting. This month is a post-punk dream come true and we tried to create something that nods to the aesthetic of the diy posters of the past. Plenty of cut and paste action with punk queen Poly Styrene while trying to nod to the soul posters of the 60's as well. Tickets are on sale HERE! 

PMS & THE MOOD SWINGS

I've been sitting on this one for almost a year now but, the time has finally come for the big announcement: The PMS & THE MOOD SWINGS album is being released JUNE 1st on BURGER RECORDS!!! I loved working on this piece, not only because I know these people but, I love Coney Island, and putting these 2 things together was a dream come true. This is the time first time I've been able to illustrate almost every aspect of the album art and it was a lot of fun to tie this whole thing together. Scroll on down for some process shots and I'll have some photos of the finished product soon. Order your vinyl or cassette RIGHT HERE!!! Big Thanks to Lenaya and everyone else in the band and to Burger Records.

KOOL KEITH PRINTS!

Kool Keith prints are now available on my site. Grab 1, or 2, or 3, right HERE. There are also some other Soul Clap prints still available so dive in and grab a few while you're at it. 

Fresh Batch of A-Frames

Still workin' that a-frame life for Gimme! Coffee. Here's some new ones I've turned out since 2018 began. 

Livin' Astro at the Soul Clap & Dance-Off

We got us a wild one here! Kool Keith and Ian Svenonius on the same bill! This is going to be a Soul Clap & Dance-Off to remember. Had a blast working on this one and listening to "Black Elvis/Lost in Space" over and over. I originally planned to do this all green poster but balancing all the values was a headache so I just decided go with some of the color craziness of the "Livin' Astro" music video. Got some process pics below, if you're into that sorta thing, and click on the link to get your tickets before this baby sells out!
