K-Town Hardcore Fest 2016

This year’s K-Town Hardcore Fest in Copenhagen was a complete blast; so many friends, amazing bands — definitely a highlight of my year! It’s also a great opportunity to get exposed to some incredible up and coming bands from all over the world. I had the pleasure of participating this year with my band Kriminal during the Bike Wars/Punx Picnic (thanks to María Luján for shooting while we played)! Unfortunately I didn’t have the opportunity to shoot every band (also made sure I spent time enjoying watching the show with my eyes as opposed to through my viewfinder), but here’s a selection of those I were able to capture. Also check out this awesome playlist of all the bands!

 

Print's Not Dead video screen capture

Print’s Not Dead – February 2015 Production Video

Shop video for my screen printing collective Print’s Not Dead for projects done in February of 2015. Time-lapse sequences shot with an iPhone 5s crudely taped to various surfaces. Projects include LP jackets for Seattle-based A Heart in the Stillness for Nostalgium Directive label, and a gig poster for L.A. punk legends The Dickies, with opening acts Dreadful Children, The Witches Titties, The Crap, and Sick Ward, live at El Corazon February 6th 2015.

Countdown to Armageddon / Duesenjaeger split EP

This was another project for my band Countdown to Armageddon, for a split 7″ vinyl record with our friends in Duesenjaeger from Osnabrück, Germany.  Duesenjaeger has a similar aesthetic to us, and when we began the project to do the split they requested that I do the artwork. Creating an aesthetic that worked for both bands’ sound, I took a field trip to Fort Ward on Bainbridge Island, WA. Fort Ward is an abandoned military munitions fort, and I liked the contrasts between the overtaking of nature and what was essentially a stockpile house for guns and bombs. I chose four pictures for the layouts which you can see below.

The Duesenjaeger song on this release is titled “Fass Ohne Boden,” which translates to “Bottomless Pit” in English. Amazingly I found one to shoot at the site, which made the design process all the more involved. I really like being able to take a concept and translate it visually and spatially in a project like this.

Dreadful Children poster – PND 002

The second Print’s Not Dead project, this was a three-color silk screened print of a show for Seattle’s Dreadful Children, The Lucky Boys, Barnswallow, and my band Sick Ward. This was a really fun project that incorporated several different elements and processes. We first designed fake cassette spines for each band, printed them out, and inserted them in real jewel cases so we could get the textures correct for a vintage feel.  There are tons of easter eggs in the spines, that was probably the most fun part of the design process. We shot the cassettes, and I sadly sacrificed a friend’s demo tape for art and we shot the unraveled cassette outside on the porch.

 

We finished a limited run of 12″x 28″ prints and sold them on the day of the show.
