Poster Design: Subpotent I
This post is a little bit about art and a little bit of self-promotion. My new band, Subpotent, is shaping up. We are almost done with our first set and getting ready to start playing shows in Tallahassee!
To start building awareness, I designed this poster inspired by surrealist art, situationist technique, and propaganda. This design reflects the band’s aesthetic and (I think) powerfully imprints the message with the combination of strong color, bold type, and an arresting image stolen from the Dalí/Buñuel film Un Chien Andalou.
Black Cat: Ready-Made Revolution
Borrowing a technique from the Situationists. Text from André Breton and Diego Rivera, “Manifesto for an Independent Revolutionary Art.”

Design: Album Cover and Outtakes
Just finished this cover for a friend’s band, The Squeaky Caskets. You should check them out!
I also spent a while drawing my buddies below. They didn’t work out for the cover, but I wanted them to live somewhere so here they are.

Imaginary Cinema: Near Dark
After watching this film last night at our incomparable local independent video rental store and theater, Cap City Video Lounge, I came home and asked myself: what if Kathryn Bigelow’s 1987 vampire feature Near Dark was released in 1967 instead of 1987? Then I stayed up way too late and made this poster.

Sketchbook: Happy Dog
I spent a few hours the other night painting this random happy dog from the internet while a Family Times marathon streamed on the TV. This was a perfectly valid way to spend an evening.
