I made this poster for Distiller Promo for their highly anticipated CMJ showcase. I was asked what it means and I replied “look at it with these weird 3D glasses I have and then you’ll know”.

Here’s some posters Kayrock screened for us. Its the cover of Fela Kuti’s Zombie (one of my favorite records from him). I photo retouched the album from a scan I made of an old record that was pretty beat up. What makes this one extra special is this one is signed by Lemi Ghariokwu who made the original art back in the 70’s.

I KNOW MY GEOGRAPHY… I OWN A GLOBE…

I designed the logo on the left for a swell company called OkayAfrica a while back as an icon for their social media sites. Recently they notified me that someone had written them saying the continent of Africa was not fully represented because Madagascar was missing. They then realized it was not and I made this image in response to the complainer.

T2: “No More White Horses”

This is a song from T2’s 1970 album “It’ll All Work Out In Boomland” (definitely one of my all time favorite records and a textbook example of an “album” and not just a bunch of songs on a piece of vinyl). This one is a scorcher that gallops along a Black Sabbath road making stops off to relax with Kevin Ayers and get some Zappa for momentum before colliding into a wall of noise.

Choice cut from the vault of music that should have never been forgotten.

JURY DOODY…

Got stuck on Jury Duty for a couple weeks. They give you these little green books to take notes but you don’t get to take them home with you. Here are some notes I took…

DEER TICK: CINCO DE MAYO POSTERS

Whipped up these guys for Deer Tick’s show at the El Rey in Los Angeles on Cinco De Mayo. 3 Color on French Speckletone paper. The shimmer gold ink on it came through great and gives it a nice metallic glare as you move it around in the light. Printed by Karl LaRocca over at Kayrock Screenprinting in Greenpoint Brooklyn. This was a limited run of 100 just for the show.

AARON FREEMAN (aka GENE WEEN) POSTER

So last Tuesday the first solo record from Aaron Freeman (aka Gene Ween of the band WEEN) came out. I did all of the art and layout for it as well as shirts, totes, and these limited edition 18x24 hand screened posters. These are 3 color on 100lb Mohawk paper and were screened by my good friend Karl LaRocca at Kayrock Screenprinting in Greenpoint Brooklyn.

You can pick up the new record “Marvelous Clouds” from the lovely people at Partisan Records here!

FELA KUTI “LIVE IN DETROIT 1986”

This just came out last Tuesday and is a really phenomenal album! I’ve been working on Fela art for over 3 years now, reviving all of the album art for re-release. This however is the first “new” record I was able to work on. We manage to get a scan of the actual poster and ticket stub for this show and used it in the packaging. The inside of the digi-pack is an adjusted version of the actual TDK tap used to record this show (I just so happened to have one of these tapes with the jacket). Although this is a pretty simple package and layout it’s one of my favorites I’ve done to date.

You can pick up a copy of this amazing album here!
