WEEN Gig Poster - Port City Music Hall

Being a big Ween fan, I was once again very siked that they asked me to do a poster for their sold out July 10 show in Portland. Shaky and Ralph over at Awesome Dudes Printing are going to be printing these up for me. I did the original drawing (aside from the Ween logo) in pen and ink. Then I did the layout in Photoshop. I think Photoshop is swell for designing screen prints, because using separate layers for the screens works perfectly for previewing what the design will look like.

Gene Ween Band Rock Poster # 2

Just finished the 2nd silkscreen poster design for the Gene Ween Band's Boston show on April 15. I know the whole "Godzilla-type monster stomping on a city" concept has been done to death on plenty of rock posters. But I thought it'd be kind of funny if the monster had the head of a Boston Terrier. At first, I was referencing all kinds of imagery of the Boston Tea Party, but I needed to turn this around super-quick. So I figured it's best to opt for something not terribly deep or detailed. I just went for the fun image.

As with the first one, I'm going to use the guys from Awesome Dudes Printing to print up the posters. Shaky, Ralph, and Snacks are, in fact, awesome dudes. They did an amazing job on the poster for the Troy, NY show.

I have to ship a bunch of the posters to the show venues. However, if anyone is interested in getting one without going to the show, I'll have a small number available at the Fishtown Shad Fest on April 25 at Penn Treaty Park. I'll also be designing a brand new T-Shirt with the Fishtown Social Club just for the festival and will have some books available too.

Gene Ween Band Rock Poster # 1

I just finished my first concert poster design for the Gene Ween Band. I have been a fan of Ween for years, and they are Philly boys too. So you can imagine how siked I was to hear from their manager for two poster designs. They gave me free reign over the imagery. Initially, I was going to look at a bunch of rock poster art for reference, but decided not to. I decided that if they want my work affiliated with the music, then it should look like MY work. So I opted for this guitar-playing iguana. I will be posting another design in the next few days of a poster for the band's Boston show on April 15.
