ROT IN HELL - live cassette

did the art and layout for this ROT IN HELL "of sorrow black and deep" live cassette last year. the intention was for it to be released by sisster ssound. but i kind of dropped the ball and got overextended and caught up with other things. subsequently causing a handful of scheduled releases to get put on the back burner. the RIH guys went ahead and put it out themselves in the UK. the attention to detail is great. a little hard to read in the photos, but the stock on the jcards is metallic silver. and i really like the consistency between the grey shells for the tapes and the grey boxes.

ON THE MAP fest, spread over 4 days and 3 venues. featuring slapshot, forced reality, oxblood, and so on. click image to enlarge.

ANDRE AND STEPH

our good friends aj and stephanie have decided to request a license from a state sponsored stranger that will enter them into a legal contract allowing him to take ownership of her. we couldn't be happier for them so when they asked me to design and print their wedding invitations i had to say yes. never taken on a project like this before and i'm very excited to be a part of it. although i guess the "voice" isn't that far off from anything i've ever designed in the past. 5 color metallic screen print outer, 1 color metallic screen print inside. hand pulled. arranged by hand from all original photos, color separated on the light box, no photoshop or other computer assistance. click images to enlarge for detail.

designed and printed these posters for dan workman's experimental music project PHYTOSOPHIE and THE INVISIBLE MAN a couple of weeks ago. for their upcoming show at CIVIC TV COLLECTIVE in houston. the performance isn't until november, but i'm pretty proud of these, and happy to have been included in the project, so i'm posting now. four color screen print, 36" x 24" on plain paper. plus band only edition of only 6 with a hand painted background on chip board. click images to enlarge.
