DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS POSTER SACRAMENTO 2008
“It’s all about where you put the horizon”
In 2008, I went through a period where I wanted to sharpen up my compositional skills. I had noticed that one of the most frequent compliments my work received was “great colors.” This is of course not a bad compliment to get, as a good sense of color is as necessary as any other tool in the box, but I wanted not to rely on it so much. So I did a number of single color (often black) pieces in a row, to focus on composition more than anything else. This Drive-By Truckers poster for their 2008 Sacramento appearance with Dead Confederate is one of my favorites from that era. A single color print on heavyweight paper with a good tooth to it, its also designed as a bit of a jump-off from the band’s song Monument Valley.

A ranking covering all their studio recordings from 1982 to their breakup in 2011. The ranking doesn’t include compilations or live albums, although I am including Dead Letter Office…
Our Band Could Be Your Typography Lesson
13. BROKE. CURIOUS. BORED. The moment is burnt indelibly into my memory. Every Sunday morning, I’d pick through the day’s edition of the Omaha World Herald (I'm a Nebraska boy. Or at least was for my first 25 years), and I was leafing through inky inserts and box store circulars…
