PATTERSON HOOD POSTER SACRAMENTO 2013
HIGH LONESOME BROADCAST TOWER
One thing I like to play with every now and again is darkness as defining element. And sometimes (as with my black-on-black Peter Murphy poster from 2009) I like to squeeze as much daylight as I can from the space between lights and darks. So it is with my 2013 poster for Drive-By Trucker Patterson Hood’s solo appearance at Harlow’s in Sacramento. This is one of my darker posters, but that darkness has a purpose. I really worked the contrast on this poster for Drive-By Truckers’ Patterson Hood in order to give the feeling of nighttime in the middle of nowhere, with the only light around for miles the moon and the lettering on this radio tower. That feeling of being miles from anything and anybody. You can see the other two posters I’ve designed for Drive-By Truckers here and here.

I was inspired by a friend’s Facebook thread about underrated late-period R.E.M. albums to create a ranking of the band’s album covers. Aesthetically. 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…
