Murder By Death Tour Poster

Here is the mostly completed scratchboard drawing for Murder By Death's upcoming tour poster, I'll post seps and printing this week as it gets finished up!

"Ash" art print

As promised, here is the art print edition of the MBD poster image.

Ash is a 3 color screenprint. Printed on Stonehenge Cream and White 100% Rag paper in editions of 125, this print is massive at 22 x 30 inches. I ended up hand printing this due to a few complications with the size of this image creating some havoc with my autopress. When you have to hand print something, make it count by doing something REALLY FREAKING HUGE. Good to get a workout in on a spring-like day in any instance.

The vacuum table at the shop came in very very handy with this one.

Metallic Copper/Gold edition:



Metallic Blue/Silver Edition:



These are both for sale now in my Etsy shop.

I am working on the final colors to get "Rebirth" published this week as well, target date Friday. Here is the final Drawing and the first 3 layers of color:

On Deck

This winter is very very over for me. Chicago has been , uhm, relentless at times. Spent the last week getting over whatever amazingly strong virus my daughter brought home from pre-school. Felt like Sonny Liston after meeting Clay. Ouch. The anti-biotics and tea seem to be helping. Looking forward to a normal week of activity. Finishing poster designs for Murder by Death , Vandermark Five, and The Black Keys (Oakland show)

Here's a few process photos for 2 new art prints coming out this week.
