JASON ISBELL & 400 UNIT POSTER SACRAMENTO 2008
BACK TO BASICS
I was in the middle of a period where I was doing a lot of single-color pieces with a focus on symmetrical compositions. For this 2008 piece for former Drive-By Trucker Jason Isbell, I used visual allusions from his standout DBT tracks and his then-new solo material to create a poster that summed up a lot of what I felt his vibe was. It’s one of the best logotypes I ever designed, and altogether it hangs together well. Fun fact: no one has ever (so far as I know) noticed the angel and devil hidden in the upper right and left corners, respectively.
The show itself ended up getting canceled last-minute due to illness, but the poster lives on regardless.
This wasn’t my only brush with the Drive-By Truckers world. I also designed a poster for Patterson Hood, and for Drive-By Truckers themselves.
