Sasquatch! 2012






We’ve come around to it again, the Sasquatch! Music Festival poster show. I was asked to create one again this year and I drew Beat Connection. Slightly less of a fabricated plan than you would think, but funny nonetheless. There were a lot of amazing designs put out this year so please go view the rest on the festival site |here|.

These are silk screened, limited edition posters, black and gold inks on thick black stock. Quality stuff, if I may so boast. I’ll have the band sign the ones I didn’t hand off to the poster show and then put them up for sale soon! I’ll bring that up again when it happens. I’d imagine many of the other artists will be selling theirs too so look out for those.

The actual poster show will be held this Saturday, the 19th at 112 Printworks in Seattle. If you’re around, do come. Meet some amazing designers and plenty of other cool people. Here’s the FB event page. Hope to see you there, make yourself known!

Also, if you didn’t catch me say it, I will be performing Think/Feel with Beat Connection at the festival on Sunday, May 27th. Come see us in the Banana Shack just before Tycho, Star Slinger, Apparat, and James Murphy!

Threadless, at it again




Preface: I’m trying to go to one of the most expensive art schools in the country, dagummit! So I’m exploiting every outlet I can manage to squeeze money from. That said, I’ve just put up this design on Threadless to be printed on a backpack with some nice little silver ink details too. If you like it (doesn’t matter if you actually want to own it) or even if you hate it, just click this lil linky and hit a number, preferably a 5. If you’re a peach enough to share it, that’d be smashing! On that same page, Threadless gives you every possible way to do that. The more votes I get, the better chance it’ll have to get printed! But time is ticking… . . .

Why a backpack and not a shirt, you say? Because that’s the competition going on right now. Much easier to win a limited time contest than to enter a shirt design into the endless, swirling abyss where it could take months to get something printed.

Thanks, lovelies.

Typographic Nonsense







Self promotional designs by Shakira Twigden.

I was having too much of a droolfest to just haphazardly post this on twitter. Found this deliciousness via FPO. Here is what she says about these pieces:

This is project is self promotional. I wanted to send out something that truly was about my myself and how I design. I didn’t want to send out something that was my C.V. designed in a clever way. I wanted to grab someone’s attention that had a sense of humor. People take design too seriously, especially when searching for jobs. I basically wanted to say “Hey, I know that your busy and have a team full of great people, but I can get the job done too”.
