Okkervil River Poster

This is a 3 color poster for Okkervil River's fantastic show with the equally fantastic Damien Jurado in Chicago last night. The edition was 75 s/n. Only available through Okkervil's site, sooon. Look for the shirts at the merch table on this tour bearing the same imagery...

I will have a more complex 6 color art print available this week of this image as well. The title is "Search Party"

Do the Disaster

This is a 5 color screenprint I made as part of an art exhibition/cd project for Chicago Pop powerhouse May or May Not. The art is paired with the song "Do the Disaster" and is printed in the booklet.
It is shown here in its hand-screenprinted glory. 22 x 22 inches, 5 colors.
It can be purchased here.

New poster for the Aesop Rock show this coming Thursday. I printed this on two diff. paper stocks. Here's are both versions. 4 colors. 19 x 25.

Consumption Bird Layers 5 and 6

Layer 5 : Transparent Gold:



Layer 6: Tangerine. The photo was taken in my studio, so the gold looks washed out on this pic. The houses are going to get 3 more colors and then I'll hit it with the line art keyline.

Consumption Bird Layers 3 and 4

Here's layer 3 and 4, pink and green/teal



Drawing for layer 5:

2nd color - Consumption Bird

2nd color is a pearlescent whiteish/yellow. This picture is not the best representation , but it will do.





Here's a closeup to show the color better.





Mixing ink for the next 4 layers

"Consumption bird" process

Finally got around to figuring out the colors to use for this art print I've had planned out for quite a while. Not sure of the final amount, probably at least 8-10 . Maybe more. I tend to treat art prints like paintings ,so I always end up adding more than I anticipate.

Started off with a charcoal drawing that I worked some watercolor inks into, sketching out the general colors. Originally was going to go for something really bright, but I've since changed my mind.



The paper is great, 22 x 30 inch stonehenge rising. The paper takes the ink really well, nice and tactile, soaks in nicely. I'm printing an edition of 100, with 5 artist proofs.



Here's the first color. Split fountain, ochre-ish color into a brighter hue.
