Queens of the Stone Age Poster Sacramento 2005
CONCEPT AND PROCESS
At the time (May 2005) this Queens of the Stone Age poster was my most ambitious gigposter yet. For the (damn perfect) double-bill of Queens of the Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal, I dug deep to try to come up with as much 70s stoner, satanic, occult, druggy imagery as I could come up with and couched it inside a kind of stylized skull. They were touring Lullabies to Paralyze at the time, and that inspired a lot of the images used in the composition: mutant sheep, benignly spooky bats, spiders, spider webs, etc. Of course with the band’s scuzzy 70s stoner rock aesthetic present I work some vinyl record imagery in, including 45 adapters as quasi-religious cult symbols. This is a really nicely printed 3-color print on metallic speckled “nude” metallic stock.

Ranking R.E.M.’s Album Covers Aesthetically 1982-2011
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…
