Alabama Shakes @ Sloss Furnaces, Birmingham

I was super happy to be asked by Alabama Shakes to make a poster for their 2 night stand at Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, Alabama!  Continuing with the theme of animals/industrial materials I went with this rustic Owlcat made of wood, brick, feathers, and fur.

The poster is 18 x 24 inches and is a signed and numbered edition of 280.  Red, metallic gold , and dark brown/black were the colors used. This was printed in my shop, Ground Up Press on a Cameo 30.

These will go on sale tonight at 9pm in my online shop: GroundUP

Atmosphere

 

The Second in my series of prints dedicated to the music of Joy Division, Atmosphere is a 12 inch by 24 inch print.   The Print is an edition of 160 and is now available online in my shop.

  

Here's the Lyrics to "Atmosphere" 

Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don't walk away.

Walk in silence,
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.

People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Don't walk away in silence,
Don't walk away.

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.
