Native So this poster is obviously for the band NATIVE, for one of their many stops here in Austin. Anyone who knows their music and their band knows they are gear dudes. (I believe Dan, even makes custom speaker cabinets that look amazing.) They sound killer live and have very unique gear. Most kids who are into NATIVE, are also gear heads. So I thought what better illustration to put on a poster for them, then to more or less graphically re-create their back line. Any person who has seen them play, would immediately recognize it. Just a fun and simple way to reach out to the people who are fans of the band. Due to the colors and textures used in this design, I don’t think the poster would have worked well as a screen printed piece. Or I should say it would have required more then a handful of colors and just wouldn’t have been cost effective. So these exist as high-quality digital prints on heavy matt finish stock.
Murder By Death Whenever I think of Murder By Death, images of otherworldly, vaudevillian Edgar Allen Poe characters come to mind. So I wanted to create a simple illustration of one of these creatures or characters that for some reason I see existing in this world where Murder By Death’s music is the soundtrack. This paired with some simple but classy type treatment really worked out well and made for a fun poster. These were printed on a cardboard stock with two colors.
