Tav Falco Show Poster

New one for the Tav Falco & Panther Burns show/Soul Clap & Dance-Off at TV EYE on September 29th. Enjoyed the simplicity of the color scheme, which gave me some time to play around with the hair detail and attempt to give Tav Falco's face the appearance of actually looking fleshy. I've really been enjoying keeping the central figures on the Soul Clap posters in black & white lately. I've been doing the gig for close to 10 years and I still feel like I'm keeping it fun and new for me, even after 60+ posters at this point.

Sunday Soul Scream T-shirts!

Sunday Soul Scream t-shirts have arrived, featuring both illustrations that I created to advertise Jonathan Toubin's annual summer residency. They are available at Our Wicked Lady in Brooklyn, NY for $20.

 

Soul Clappin in Nashville

My Newest Soul Clap & Dance-Off poster for Jonathan Toubin's gig at the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville on July 22nd. I decided that even though I've used Tina Turner a few times already on these posters we had to go with her since she recently passed away and Tennessee is her home state. Plus, she is just the Queen and one of my earliest childhood music memories.

More and more I've been trying to make these posters mimic the heyday of color/black & white soul revue posters while still crafting them in the way I like to. This one got very close to some diy kinko's cut and paste flier or zine. I've done close to 70 of these posters so I'm continually trying to push myself to keep the process fun and change them up enough so people don't get bored of looking at them. This feeling is usually fleeting but, this poster is one of my new favorites.

 

Sunday Soul Scream: Part 2

Whipped up this 2nd illustration for some Sunday Soul Scream surprises I can't mention yet but we are at least able to disclose all the bands that are schedule to play for the remainder of the summer event.

Process pics below and I'll have a bit more news shortly on where this illustration will be appearing next.

 

NY Night Train Presents Swamp Dogg

   

Including 2 versions of my new poster for the Swamp Dogg show at Knockdown Center on July 22nd. At the last minute, Brooklyn-based, Mighty Fine was added to the bill so, you'll notice on the 2nd version I added a little extra piece to the roadside sign with Eli "Paperboy" Reed's name on it.

Even though the source material for this drawing was a desert landscape, I am really enjoying my client's letting me bring more of my neon sign and landscape work that populates the majority of my personal work into my collaborative projects.

Anyways, you should not miss this show. Swamp Dogg is a true musical cult figure and most times we don't get the chance to experience them while they are still out on the road doing their thing. Process pics below.
