The Jealous Sound One of my favorite bands and buddies of mine. I didn’t have much time to work on this, as Pswingset had just returned from a trip to record in Denver less then a month before this show. So I took a few lines from two of my favorite songs on Kill Them With Kindness and used these to illustrate the poster. Lyrics from “Anxious Arms” and “Above The Waves” provided some strong imagery that most people who listen to The Jealous Sound would recognize or at least be struck by. The majority of that album deals with drug abuse and is at points emotionally overwhelming lyrically. I hope I did this justice in my design.

The Felix Culpa Former Thieves So this poster was for a great party during SXSW in 2011, and by the day of the show actually ended up featuring Into It. Over It. as well. It’s hard for me to design posters with more then a few bands and especially of such varying genres, so I decided to just make something fun and weird. When we printed these, I had to get creative with our stock and color choices, to keep the colors to a minimum, so we ended up printing them on a light brown recycled stock and then interchanging the background colors, so we did about 25 with a light orange and 30 with a light blue. The black pieces we ended up creating a deep dark metallic gray color that sort of shimmered when light cast on it, they came out really well I think.
