Kitchen Island Show Print

Hey guys. Here’s a couple new things. First: Whatever Brains / Gross Ghost at Pinhook 2 June. Part of the First One’s Free series presented by Churchkey Records. Two colors, 12.5×19.

And here’s one for the Wood Ear (recently named by Paste Magazine as a North Carolina Band You Should Listen To Now) CD release show on 9 June, also at Pinhook. This one’s a doozy: 17×22, five colors.

Thanks as always for stopping by.

Here are a couple of new prints: Some Army at Casbah 18 May (2 colors, 19 x 9.5) and JKutchma & The Five Fifths at Tir na nOg 1 June (1 color on yellow, 14 x22). Hope you dig.

Hey guys. So my friend, the outstanding graphic designer Rebekah Miel, has set me up with a fun opportunity this Friday. At her QuickBrownFox Studio in Golden Belt, she’s asked me to put up a little impromptu print show to coincide with Durham’s monthly Third Friday. I’ll be hanging some of my newer work, and it’ll only be up for about a week. Should be fun – a bit of a guerilla art show. I’ll of course have prints for sale. I’ll also have beer. I’d love to see you out. Details:

So, I’ve partnered with my dear friend and pillar of the Durham community Chaz Martenstein to bring you this super limited edition poster, available ONLY at Bull City Records, and ONLY on Record Store Day, this Saturday April 21. These are three colors, 12.5 x 19. I only printed thirty-five (35) of these, and only thirty (30) will be for sale. So, you  know, not many. In any event, get out there and buy some records at the record store this Saturday and every day after.

Fact: That beard moves product.

Here’s the poster print for the Red Collar Welcome Home LP Release Party. 19 May, Motorco in downtown Durham. Print is 14 x 24, two colors (metallic silver & white) on black posterboard. This band has meant a lot to me for a long time and its members are some of my dearest and closest friends in the world, and their new record is really beautiful. I’m very proud of them, and of this poster. Cheers.

Sometimes it’s nice to just do a weird one, and this show deserves it: Spider Bags/Terry Malts/Gross Ghost, Pinhook 17 April. One color prints, each on an individually spray painted sheet of 110lb French Smart White. Edition of 35. This’ll be a rad gig. Gross Ghost have a new record out on Grip Tapes that’s getting all kinds of (well-deserved) praise, and the same (and more, even) goes for San Francisco’s Terry Malts and their new Slumberland LP. Last time these dudes were here we had a fucking blast and so did everyone in the audience. Not to be missed.

Weirdo.

Here are a couple things I’ve done recently where someone else did the difficult work and designed/illustrated the piece, and I just did the printing. QUITE enjoyable, I must say. First, the CD jackets for the forthcoming Wood Ear album, Steeple Vultures, on Churchkey Records. One color on fold & glue jackets from Stumptown Printers. Outstanding illustration and layout by Christopher Wright at Seldom Wright Design. Brief side note: If you’re not yet familiar with Nate Tarr’s Wood Ear, get on the trolley now. This band is fucking great and the guy writes killer songs. New record comes out 12 June.

Steeple Vultures

Next, here’s a poster for Schooner & Wesley Wolfe, two of my favorites, who have recorded a split 12″ single. The design is by Reid Johnson (Schooner) & Josh Carpenter, and I think it translated to silkscreen very nicely. Two colors, 12.5 x 19, edition of 55. I’m sure they’ll have some at the 21 April record release party at Pinhook. See you there!

Here’s another one: tour poster for JKutchma & The Five Fifths, who’ll be on the road a lot starting in May. Two colors, 12.5 x 19, edition of 150, for sale at all tour stops.

Gonna be rolling out new prints fast and furious the next couple three days, so let’s get started: The Future Kings of Nowhere have a release show at Local 506 on 4 May for their new EP, Pirates, on Churchkey Records. Here is a poster for said show. Two colors, 8 x 25.

Let's be pirates.
