Horror Vacui Poster – PND 003

The third Print’s Not Dead project, this was a three-color, silk-screened 22″x 28″ poster for Bologna, Italy’s Horror Vacui, Portland’s Vivid Sekt, Countdown to Armageddon, and Arcane at Seattle’s Highline Bar. We staged the photo of Sasha originally with the intention of blocking out the backdrop, but found it provided an interesting visual texture once filmed. The composition of the photo lent itself really well to the type, and allowed us to really dial in our printing process to a science.

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.

Black Breath poster – PND 001

A project which marked the first official Print’s Not Dead catalog number, this was a three-color silk-screened poster for Seattle’s Black Breath, Paralyzer, Old Skin, and my band, Countdown to Armageddon.

 

I shot the image of Brandon [Print’s Not Dead] on the driveway of his house, and halftoned the photo and added the horns later.  This was our first attempt at the 3-color process and we learned a lot in the crafting of this poster. A hand-numbered limited edition of 47 18″ x 24″ prints were made in total and sold at the packed show at Seattle’s Crocodile venue.
