The IC toy elves have been busy. Meet this summer's dynamic duo: Salvatore and George - the lovable mascots we created for Sasquatch! Music Festival's 10 year anniversary. Salvatore stands 4" tall while George packs a TON of detail into an impressive 2". The two characters come as a set and will be available in person (along with a few limited-edition prints) on May 19th at Velocity Art & Design here in Seattle. Can't make it on the 19th? Don't fret - you can pre-order NOW. Sorry, you're on your own for miniature marshmallows.
Extra special thanks to our beloved clients Adam & Lynn for making this happen. And a round of applause for Frank at Super7 for bringing these guys to life.
A mighty big thanks to everyone who came out to our Full Circle show/Leroy C. launch party at Super7 on Saturday night. We had a blast. And as you can see above, Leroy did too.
If you find yourself in SF anytime soon, the show will be up for a few more weeks.
Just wrapped up a new poster for Against Me! at this year's Sasquatch! Festival. I used my own vest for this one. Metallic brown and black. Check our store for this one in a few weeks!
Here is the cover for an upcoming Demon Hunter release featuring the first 3 albums in one package. The 3 disc set will be available everywhere March 8th. If you've had trouble finding these older releases in a store near you, here's the chance to get them all (and cheaply). As always, the DH demon skull graces the cover, this time made from the trees of my back yard. I gathered up some fallen branches and leaves, constructed the logo on a large sheet of white paper, and Jerad Knudson shot the photo.
It's that time of year again. The lineup has been announced for the 2011 Sasquatch! Music Festival. And to celebrate, Salvatore and George are roastin' up s'mores. With this year being the 10th anniversary of the festival, we have some extra special plans. Stay tuned.
Last year, our buddy Josh Higgins asked if we'd cruise down to his city sometime to tell our story and flash some .jpg's on a big screen. We happily agreed, so here we are. We're excited to bring our dog and pony show to the beautiful city of San Diego on April 2nd. We'll be speaking at the legendary Casbah club, but what we're most excited about is The Black Heart Procession will be joining us to shut down the evening. Oh, and a little bonus for you early birds: The first 200 folks through the door get an 18" x 24" silk-screened poster, namely the one you see above. Tickets are $10 advance/$12 day of show and you can purchase them here.
We recently completed posters for 2 events serendipitously taking place on the same night (January 22nd), albeit across the nation from one another. Aziz Ansari will be knocking the socks off of a presumably packed house at Carnegie Hall, while I'll be here in Seattle, in awe of White Lies and all of their glory. The Aziz poster is 5 colors, and White Lies is 2 colors, both of which feature metallic silver ink. In the store now!
We just wrapped up the artwork for our friends, The Famine, and after an interesting photo shoot of blowing black body paint on a total stranger through a straw, I'm glad to say I'm pleased with the outcome. Be afraid.
I couldn't pass up the opportunity to design a poster for one of my favorites, Killing Joke. Their music is like the soundtrack to the apocalypse, so naturally, a punk-orchestrated riot seemed like the perfect direction.
Just wrapped up this cover for Hawk Nelson's forthcoming record titled "Crazy Love." Each of the band's previous records have featured paper airplanes somewhere in the artwork, so our task was to incorporate an airplane on the cover.
It's a slow day for Mumford and his offspring. Here's our new poster for the Mumford & Sons show happening on 10/24 at The Paramount. These will be in the shop on 10/25. Oh, be sure to sign up to our mailing list to get the scoop on upcoming poster and product releases.
As They Sleep is a new band on Solid State Records, bringing some much needed brutality to the masses. This is the album cover that we recently completed for their upcoming release titled Dynasty. We again enlisted photographic/set design whiz Jerad Knudson to help us see the vision through, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Apparently the model is a homeless man that sells newspapers near Jerad's house in Seattle's Capital Hill neighborhood.
We're excited to have a table at the upcoming Flatstock 27 at Bumbershoot Festival next weekend, Sept. 4-6th. It's always a great hang with fellow poster peeps and an excuse to publicly drool over so much great art. Oh, and just to get this out of the way before it starts: No, we don't have any Phish or Southern Culture On The Skids posters. Hope to see you all out there!
Here's a fun project we recently wrapped with the fine folks at Creature and JanSport. Catch the bus to see The Cave Singers - performing at an undisclosed location. A quick synopsis of the event:
'This summer, JanSport presents the first installment of the Bonfire Sessions, a free concert series celebrating the epic memories that can only be made outdoors. Here’s how it works. The hidden location of the concert is kept secret until the day of the show. All August long, check in here at Unzipped , as well as Facebook and Twitter , to get clues about the band and where to hitch a ride on the 28th. We’re taking a mere two busloads of people, so you’ll want to stay on top of the bus stop spot. And get your best lining-up/dancing shoes on.'
The poster was designed in 2 sizes: 24" x 36" and 18" x 24". 8 colors, screen-printed.
Check out your local newsstands now for the new issue of Revolver Magazine, featuring Zakk Wylde. We did the photo-illustration work for the cover and the feature, which meant many hours of cutting out little demon people to create the elaborate scenes. The cover image itself pays homage to recently deceased Frank Frazetta's classic artwork.
Just wrapped up the artwork for the new Monster Magnet album "Mastermind". The cover features the band's mascot, the Bullgod (which graces several of the band's covers) in a surrealistic painted style. See a short press release here.
