NORTHERN NIGHTS MUSIC FESTIVAL POSTER 2015
In early 2015, i was contacted by Northern Nights’ about taking a swing at the poster for their upcoming summer festival. They wanted something that promoted the location as a kind of headliner all its own. The festival being located in Humboldt, my mind immediately wandered to the feeling of Summer of Love screenprints: colorful yet earthy, hyperreal and spiritual. It needed to appear grounded of course, but I had some latitude to make it all a bit fantastical.
What I wanted to evoke was this idea that you wandered through the woods and happened upon this party happening just off in the distance. It would beckon you toward it. I used color to create a warm inviting place within the cool shade and haze of nighttime in the Northern California redwoods.

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…
