While my first gig poster was on display for the Jerry Pranksters I received a message from Danny with Slow Stoics. He was looking for a Halloween and Music themed show poster. One of the first ideas that came to mind was Frankenstein with headphones on. In talking with Danny he wanted to incorporate a haunted barn. Frank was illustrated […]
I spoke with John the owner of The Down Under Lounge asking if I could get more involved in gig posters for upcoming shows. He mentioned the Jerry Pranksters were having a show August 24th. He also said proceeds of the posters typically go towards charity and I chose to get in touch with Arts for All, Inc. I want […]
I asked John at The Down Under Lounge if I could get involved in gig posters. He provided details for next month’s Jerry Pranksters show Saturday, August 24th.

Quick update on my silk screen accomplishments over the last month. I have successfully burned my artwork into two test screens and put a bit of ink on paper to see how the process went. I’ve decided to shrink the artwork giving an inch border all the way around. That will give me a place to sign/number the prints and […]
You might be sick of seeing the same horned skull image, over and over again… it’s one of the last things I was dooodling when I decided to splurge on silk screen equipment/tools.
