Kokomo Jr Flyer #2

Here is another flyer for a Kokomo Junior show that took place a few weekends ago. Akzidenz Grotesk as always.

Cult of Luna-"Adrift" Imaginary Record Cover

I really like music and I like making things. I recently rediscovered this little gem of a song, "Adrift" from Cult of Luna's amazing 2005 album "Salvation". As most bands of the "Post-Metal" genre, CoL has a very spacey/aquatic sound. I thought the imagery suited the plodding/marching nature of the song; oh and obviously dead soldiers...because METAL.


Other musics: Delorean-Subiza, Warpaint-"Exquisite Corpse", Verse-"Aggression", Zola Jesus-"Stridulum Ep", Stars-"The Five Ghosts"

The Return of The International Office

Quite simply one of the most typographically precise and pristine design firms out there. They just updated their website and it is utterly gorgeous. Literally one of the most compelling and exciting design firms I have ever seen. Not to mention, Duncan of The Intl. Office actually collaborated with Kris Sowersby on the beautiful Founder's Grotesk Typeface.

In Celebration of Watain's "Lawless Darkness"...

I made a thing. Its a way overly photoshopped thing...but a thing no less. I realize now, that I have a thing with faces/heads in trees...someone tell me why that is, ok?

It's a cover or whatever for the song "Wolves Curse" which is a total SUMMER JAM.

COOL.

The Courage of Others

No goal here...just image making while internetting. Thanks to Tina for involuntary inspiration.


Musics: Watain, Midlake, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Blut Aus Nord

LACMA Item #2

As you folks know...I have been working on stuff for LACMA recently. It's been such a lovely, inspiring, and invigorating experience. This here is a flyer that is going to passed out all over town. I was heavily inspired by this beautiful piece by Jan Tschichold. It has always been a favorite of mine...and hopefully this flyer did him a bit of justice.

Web banners and other things coming soon!

LACMA Ad in Brand X!

LACMA:Muse Artwalk 2010 Imagery

I recently got my first commission (!) through a friend at LACMA to design the ad for their upcoming ArtWalk event next month.

I am extremely grateful to Sam Gregg, The LACMA folks, and Cristiana Couceiro (For her always inspiring work) for contributing in some way to this project.

Here are some of the images I have been working with. Once the final is chosen and printed I'll show you all that. How Exciting!

Listening Station: The National, Scott Orr, Watain, Algor Mortis, Chromatics, Professor Genius, Local Natives, Glass Candy, Necrophagist, Hundred in the Hands, Midlake....

Summer Lovin' Torture Party: Sorrow

The First song I fell in love with. The "Don't leave my hyper heart on the water" lyric, is just fantastic and heavily inspired the approach to image making here. This is a moody song, even in a catalog of moody songs for The National. Hope you enjoy it folks.
