"Disorder" Joy DIvision Tribute print

 

This is the first in a series of six prints I'm making dedicated to the music of Joy Division , one of my favorite bands.  The first is "Disorder" , from the track off of "Unknown Pleasures" 

I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand,
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?
These sensations barely interest me for another day,
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away.

It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand,
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land,
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now,
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow.

What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again,
I'm watching you, I'm watching her, I'll take no pity from you friends,
Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling,
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling,
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling.

                 These are available now in my shop, 18 x 24 , s/n edition of 100.

LOW @MetroChicago 2013

 

Finished 5 color screenprint for LOW 's show at Metro in Chicago this past Friday. Their new LP, "The Invisible Way" is fantastic, you should buy it.  These posters are now for sale on my site, here.

Sketchbook

Raw sketch for one of the Desaturate black and white prints I have up this weekend, they are all titled after  Joy Division songs

Work in progress: Low

I'm working on a new poster for Low, whose new record, "The Invisible Way" is coming out on Sub Pop records.
This is the sixth poster I've made for the band, and I want it to be special. The first of two drawings I'm making in Scratchboard for the production of the poster is documented here.

The Residents @ Schubas and Lincoln Hall Chicago

I was excited to be asked to make a poster for the Legendary Residents weekend appearances at Schubas and Lincoln Hall- I knew I would need to tackle the iconic Eyeball Tophat that has been the constant visual reference throughout the group's 40 year career of making challenging and creative music.  I chose to depict the image as an old statue with a rickety ladder for your entry into a secret compartment on the top of the tophat.  I was pleased with the way it worked!

I have my copies of the edition up for sale in my shop.  Limit 2 per customer, please.  Edition of 175, signed and numbered, 18 x 24 inches on Ivory stock.
