This Vartan Mamigonian album was originally released as a fundraiser for Stumpfest 2010, an improvised music festival presented by Surrounded By Reality. Patrick requested that the design extend in a single/continuous image to the entire visible area and include an insert, so I came up with this little bullfight scene.

In addition to the light gray tees I also printed up some ash gray/white striped racerback dresses and v-neck tees. The Souls play a ton around New York and if you haven't gone to see one of their shows, get out to one of them the next time you're hankering for damn good live rock n' roll.

Check out Abby Payne's music video The Prophet, shot and edited by the talented photographer and videographer Elizabeth Leitzell. After having had the pleasure of designing Abby's EP album Sasquatch, Abby asked me to collaborate on the video by designing sets and animating portions of Elizabeth's footage. Using mixed media materials and LED blinky lighting designed by Todd Polenberg and Jason Cipriani, I was able to composite illustrated and 3D imagery in Aftereffects to produce some awesomely strange environments.

The only prompt Patrick gave me was the comment: "Premoticon - it kindof reminds me of emoticon- like Optimus Prime bit with your crazy organic twist to it." The sleeve folds into a simple holder with a foldover flap - an elegant template that I will surely use again from Portland-based Stumptown Printers.

In addition to this 2 color square poster (echoing the size of a 12 inch vinyl) I made a custom live printing image for the table, manned by myself and Matt Sykes of Werdink. The Bleeding Hearts event was a blast, with several live bands, multiple art and sound installations, and some interactive displays and performances.

Fellow screen printer and metal lover Coty Densley of Dark Mountain Printing organized a great Cable show at Union Pool last year for which I designed and printed this poster. Somehow in the awesome ensuing ruckus the stack of posters disappeared into the ether, but I've still got mine to remember the night by.

Chris St. Hilaire, illustrious musician and roommate, needed a quick flier for his D.B.A. gig. I offered up a joker from my developing playing card project (more to come about this shortly) to post and email.

The music teachers at Brooklyn Music Instruction asked me to design a flier to post around the city, with the only guidelines being that I should include imagery of children playing instruments joyfully. I decided to aim for a cut paper look, which I mimicked on photoshop by using geometric shapes and drop shadows. It was exciting to produce this without having to use an exacto knife, and we were all pleased with the results.

Abby Payne is a talented singer wongwriter who asked me to design a cover for her new EP Sasquatch. Peeking out the back window of her apartment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and seeing greenery spilling over her neighbor's overgrown backyard, Abby envisioned a sasquatch dwelling there, and asked me to illustrate this scene for the front cover. Along with the cover I also made a poster with space to write in show dates for her continuous use. Abby has since asked me help design sets and animate a portion of her new upcoming music video for the song The Prophet, so keep your eyes peeled for its debut- I'll be posting it here on the site shortly.
