See a Show!

... and may I suggest:



Here's my first screen printed poster, and if you are in the Bellingham area go see my friend Marc play! I learned being taller will help with my screen printing abilities. The type was all hand created.

Posters and More Posters

Poster Cabaret has a wonderful selection of posters for inspiration and get lost in.

This week's poster will be screen printers and will feature hand drawn type, so check back soon to see it!

Bloom, The Jellyfish

After the last poster with the hidden jellyfish, well I used their tentacles mainly, I've remembered how amazing these creatures are . They are so pretty. This is my Ode to Jellyfish. I used layers of jellyfish photographs and hand-drawn type.

Did you know a group of jellyfish is called a bloom. How perfect for welcoming spring, jellyfish? They're always one of the most memorable parks of aquarium for me. What's yours?

Oh World Of Bubbles Where Art Thou Be?

For the second week of March: Bubble week!
And a happy bubble week to you, and YOU!

I used some photoshop techniques found on in the recent past histories of smashingmagazine.com, and a Jellyfish to create this one. Can you find the jellyfish?

Back as the Year is New

Celebrations of a New Year is always dear to me. It feels good to have hope and resolutions. In honor of 2010 and rededicating myself to being more artistically driven; I am pumping some life back into this blog, doing posters, and the act of creation. Nnot that I ever put these things aside for any real half decent reason, in the first place. So, as it's been said before, Happy New Year and Enjoy.

A place I was recently!

It was my first time visiting Denver recently. A fun and fast trip to be sure.

A Little Inspirational Words

For the week starting in June and ending in July. I picked out several books that have been sitting waiting for me to read them. The book on Eleanor Roosevelt won. Here is a little summer time inspiration for those times when you needs some words. 

Argyle: a very silly pattern

For the last week of June. This is a lesson I have been trying to learn, and had it rubbed in my face tonight by a guy who is right but also kind of an ass. So be the crazy argyle of the world... not the boring green plaid! In other words be your self; do it your way. Sometimes I have to be reminded, which is kind of sad I suppose. I guess tonight I kind of felt like argyle?

A Skull soaked in Blood

For the week in June towards the end. This week I have been working on a project referencing the Loteria Cards and Día de los Muertos so playing with skulls worked it's way into the poster. 

Sunny Junabell

For the week ending on June 13th. It has been so sunny lately I have am starting to worry! It is Seattle after all! How every I have been thinking of beach/tropical places to go. 

Shout Out to the Show

For the first week of June. Camera Obscura is one of my favorite musical groups that I found by randomly purchasing CDs that had photography references one day, many years ago. I have never seen them perform but just learned that they have a show tomorrow night in my general location. Score! 

Sasquatch Remake

Went a head a continued making the poster what I wanted it to be. 

Hand Draw You Crazy Type

Drew this today, a Tuesday late in May.  Hand-drawn poster!

"Keep Calm and Carry On"

After completing last week's poster referencing the "Keep calm and carry on" vintage WWII posters, I was rather shocked upon learning that we would be painting it as a mural that weekend. The mural was a Link Program project I was volunteering for and just so happened to include the "Keep calm and cary on' message. The original poster has a really interesting history which you can read about here.

Below are more iterations of this poster I found recently:

The Thoughts That Go Through My Head

This poster created for the week of May 12th. This week I have had a terrible head cold so not only did I want to do something simple but I have also been watching endless amounts of BBC shows. Therefor, I decided to re-created the classically British WWII poster with my design motto. 

Giant Squid and Wine Tasting Rain.

Two to show you this week:


This poster created in early May. It was probably the quickest poster I've done so far. But what else can you say about Giant Squids.

In addition to the challenge: this poster took much of my time this week. This is the poster for Sasquatch but even though it is mailed off, it's still not where I wanted it to be. The text drops are all hand drawn.
